There’s video of them ICE murder that just happened in Minneapolis. 5 agents wrestling a man to the ground. A shot goes off and then an agent pulls and fires multiple times into the man as he lays there. It’s so fucked. So so fucked.

This is who Richard Carlbom and the DFL have running a fundraising campaign for them. Wow.
I went on Substack to suggest to Simon Rosenberg that there might be some valid reasons for Minneapolis activists to be suspicious of Dem party fundraising. Ooof.

Mr. Rogers always said when things are bad, look for the helpers. Turns out, we are all the helpers :-).
Today, my job was to be the person who swept up the onion peel as neighbors prepared food for hundreds of families who can’t leave their homes. It felt very small, but it was something—and it was a reminder that there are many different roles to play as we fight for our democracy.

“How to Talk Minnesotan” is intended to be comedic but I recommend it for every autistic transplant, because no one will explain any of this to you, they’ll just get mad at you and you won’t know why. This outright just tells you the unspoken rules and everything makes so much more sense after that
This is light-hearted and doesn't touch on cases of fuckaroundits, but maybe it'll spark joy. Mid 90s local PBS.

If you had to describe the first two weeks of this year in one word, which would you pick?

Security folklore of the morning is that no one should share URLs on Signal because it exposes IP addresses and people should use QR codes instead. Please don’t do this! QR codes are much less secure. If you’re concerned about link security, turn off link previews which you can do in Signal settings

I’m seeing lots of people on here misunderstand the purpose of ICE watch.
It’s de-escalation. And it’s grounded in the social science of violence. 🧵

I’m just echoing others who have already said this, but it’s a good thing that it takes so many ICE agents to make a single arrest.
It makes the whole operation slower and more resource-intensive.

They bet wrong, betting on breaking Minneapolis.
We punch far above our weight for resisting state crackdowns. I always knew they'd come for the Twin Cities and Minnesota writ large, but I could not be prouder of what I'm fucking seeing.
They will never break the people. They will never.

They won't have the numbers to occupy the nation and force everyone to comply, and that's why they're engaged in such an aggressive show of force. They're hoping we all get cowed into submission and do their work of suppression ourselves.
Once again, no.
The mantra remains "fuck you, make me."

They don't have capacity to terrorize more than 2-3 cities at a time.
Which means they rotate teams to new cities without relief.
Which means consistent resistance by fresh activists in each new city will break them over time.
Which means if you're city's not occupied, rest up and get ready.

Please get outside keep an eye on your block, on the immigrant-owned businesses near you. If you see ICE - whistle, honk, do whatever you are ready to do.
It's cliche, but what you're doing now is what you would have been doing when the Nazis came.
