DEFCON 0 fascism level now: Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Walz announcing that ICE will pull out if Minnesota hands over its voter rolls to the Trump regime.
Incoming thread about CBP, ICE, the violence in Portland and Minneapolis, plus NSPM-7, white supremacist accelerationism, and why this all matters.
It’s a bigger, more dire fascist situation that’s we all need to confront — which demands more info and context than “all the same Gestapo shit”

Orin is probably the preeminent fourth amendment scholar in the United States. He is also extremely professional. This is the way he says "I wish a bitch would try"
This DHS memorandum says that the DHS General Counsel's office has adopted a new position that the Fourth Amendment allows entry into the home to make an arrest just based on an administrative warrant.
I would like to see that argument.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

To quote one source:
“They’re terrified of being labeled anti–law enforcement. They want this to go away so they can talk about the cost of living more. Problem is, it’s not going away.”

jack asked if i would sketch up a poster to tell people in nearby neighborhoods about the partnership between flock and ring, and this is what i came up with. it can be printed on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper.
![YOUR RING CAMERA IS AN ICE AGENT
[a drawing of a ring camera with an ice agent dragging a person away in its field of vision]
"In October of 2025, Amazon's Ring announced its partnership with FLOCK, an A.I. surveillance group that freely shares its footage with ICE, the secret service, and the navy. Flock customers can use A.I. tools to sift through footage to assist in all manner of operations (like raids and deportations) without a warrant. Unplug Ring! Melt ICE! Protect your neighbors!

In 1964, the FBI “honored” the life and work of Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. by telling him to kill himself.
This FBI suicide-blackmail letter was but one small part of the Bureau’s COINTELPRO program, targeting the civil rights movement.

This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.

If you live in the Cities, an easy way to help immigrant families in hiding is: laundry! Laundromats are ICE magnets, so people without washers need help.

Stop accepting the bullshit, anti-Constitutional, anti-American framing the right wing wants you to swallow.
Stop accepting the bullshit, anti-Constitutional, anti-American framing the right wing wants you to swallow.
You unwittingly regurgitate enemy propaganda when you exceptionalize “US citizens” as targets of ICE violence.
Due process rights (including the 5th / 14th amendments) apply to EVERYONE within US jurisdiction, the undocumented, visitors, and citizens alike.
I get the impulse, but knock it off.

I’ve started using the term “ethnic cleansing campaign” to describe the ICE occupation here in Minnesota. This is deliberate because the reality on the ground is that, at a given moment, any non-white person can be kidnapped by masked federal paramilitaries regardless of their constitutional rights.
