National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation.
Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

ICE has been regularly using the main roads that I live on and between bc they connect to the reserve building. the reports today have been near constant.
I don't push down that feeling of illness, the one always building in my stomach. eyes up, eyes out.

I have been told that this undercover ICE agent tried to get observers to scan a QR code “for his website”. The QR code did not resolve to a link.
DO NOT SCAN UNKNOWN QR CODES FROM STRANGERS.
This is a massive security risk! Bad things can happen to you if you do it!
Stay frosty, friends.

Every day some story breaks me some. Today it’s the guy who approached parents at a school patrol, told them he was with Indivisible, and asked about how the patrol system works. The parents gave vague answers, followed him back to his car — and of course it was ICE.

Businesses are posting signs on their doors telling ICE to keep out. Observers are visible outside of restaurants, stores and schools. "Upstander" trainings are reaching capacity — and so are neighborhood signal chats.

ICE is making our community less safe.
Last night Maya announced they would be closed until further notice because they couldn’t guarantee the safety of their customers and staff due to ICE’s occupation of our City. ICE is actively making our neighborhoods less safe and hurting anchor businesses in our community like Maya.

One of the first things anyone learns about facial recognition is that it is often wrong and that it is biased. And yet ICE is using it all day every day to determine legal status & who to detain. And now we have a high-profile example of it being flat out wrong:

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.

Near Lyndale and 24th Ave in Minneapolis tonight, feds have reportedly shot another person.
Preliminary info is shaky for now, hearing two people injured.
BORTAC just rolled up in an armored vehicle. A crowd is gathering outside the police tape—MPD presence as well.
