I write, ride, fix, and help raise. From the midwest; bouncing around since.

Please note that I'm unable to assist with anything financially at this time, as much as I may want to.

Trump is threatening wars with NATO and Venezuela for the same reason he’s at war with the American people: fascism must always be on the march.

Authoritarians are good at offense, but bad at defense. The only strategy for combating the Epstein crisis is literally going to war.

There are lots of summaries of this stuff, but Matthew‘s is more clearly written than most. They’re not your lawyer (and I’m not either!) but this is a good quick guide for what to do when a goon shows up at your door.
ICE agents love to wave around paper that looks official. Most of it is a scam — administrative forms signed by ICE supervisors, not real judicial warrants signed by judges. Let's go through what that scam paper looks like versus a real judicial warrant.

@statuscoupnews.bsky.social interviewing this woman in Minneapolis right now who said she came out of her home, wearing whatever she could grab to protect herself from ICE agents. You do what you can, with what you got.

You will also have lots of blue maga genocidal democrat and liberal mayors telling ICE to "get out of my city" cos it makes them look cool and stuff, and then two seconds later, let you know they don't want ICE abolished. It's the normal liberal playbook of pretentious rhetoric and empty gestures.

On Fox 9 just now they interviewed a woman at the scene in Minneapolis. She says she’s not an activist but felt a call to action like she hasn’t felt since 9/11. She says she was raised to love America. She says she’s never felt scared of the government in her life, until now.

A big thing that was intensely evident while I was reporting this piece:

In parts of Minneapolis, DHS/ICE is everywhere.

And so, too, are the volunteers pushing back against them — standing on virtually every street corner.

"In recent protests, the police have been accused of using excessive force. This included the use of rubber bullets, batons, tear gas, pepper spray, and bean bag projectiles. Umbrellas can protect against some of these police tactics by maintaining distance or acting as a shield."

Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

Props to the lady giving an interview in her pink UFFDA hat and saying, "well, gosh, I've never had tear gas and flashbangs shot at me, but I'm happy to take it so my neighbors are safe."

Minnesota lawyers: this doc is intended to serve as a living, iterated-on clearinghouse for volunteer opportunities. It's very much a work in progress, but I'll be updating it as resources develop.

Everyone has something to contribute regardless of practice area or experience. Let's get to work.
