Maybe at some point we’ll talk about how the same politicians that ruined sex workers’ lives with SESTA-FOSTA and conflated consensual work with trafficking, had brazen dealings with a goddamn pedophile ring for decades. Or not

800 people at Whittier International Elementary right now to coordinate ICE resistance. EIGHT HUNDRED, at one little school.
Recall there are only 2,000 ICE agents in the entire metro. Puny!

so some news from the MPLS people in my group chats: ICE seems to be moving into the black/brown enclaves of North Minneapolis ahead of weather conditions that will likely hinder their movement; they want to spend this time making content specifically sparring with minorities, slave patrol shit

I keep seeing it, and it's not untrue. ABOLISH ICE is the moderate position.

I know you’re angry. I’m angry. What Donald Trump wants is violence in the streets.
But Minnesota will remain an island of decency, of justice, of community, and of peace.

And after they get hurt ICE will just say they were resisting arrest or threatening agents or whatever anyway. They’ll always be “taking the bait” by default, just by existing, whether they‘re fighting back or not.

"Don't take the bait" entirely elides the fact that ICE's presence in Minneapolis or LITERALLY ANYWHERE is unjustified on its face, period, end of. ICE is unneccesary and unlawful. It is, as ever, on the fascists to stop doing fascism, not on the people targeted to comply by being shot and abused.

On the ground here in Minnesota, it’s hard to reconcile the immense bonds of community that have been built in a week with the fact that we live in a country whose government appropriated billions of dollars to an unaccountable paramilitary force whose sole purpose is ethnic cleansing.

Please call your reps and tell them NOT to fund this government
Any Democratic votes to fund DHS later this month as Minneapolis is being terrorized by DHS is going to be a major slap in the face to Americans living here. Demand major reforms or shut the government down.

2) EVERY one of them call to abolish ICE (and bonus, DHS). No more “they need training” shit. Promise prosecutions.
3) EVERY one of them call for Trump’s impeachment, relentlessly, EVERY day.

I know Dems have limited power right now but they should use every bit of it that they do have.
And they ALWAYS have the power to flood the zone with constant, consistent, pull-no-fucking-punches messages about the GOP murderers they will REMOVE and PUNISH asap!
