Non-protesting dad just trying to hustle his kids, as young as 6mo, out of the neighborhood. ICE threw a flash-bang INTO HIS car, all 6 kids in the hospital now.

If anyone wondered how things turn against occupying armies there's a case study playing out in front of you.

Renée Nicole Good is one of at least nine people across the country who have been shot by immigration agents since September.

There is something every case has in common: Everyone was in a vehicle at the time of the shooting.
Cops are taught not to shoot into cars. ICE keeps doing it anyway.
Immigration agents have shot at least nine people since September. All of them have been in cars.

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness.

You could be next.

For all those who have been calling for a General Strike.

How we support a localized/ state-wide General Strike to succeed, is an important muscle building exercise for a larger General Strike.
Unions and community orgs are calling for a Minnesota-wide shutdown in 10 days to protest the ferocious assault by federal immigration agents. They're saying on Jan 23, no work, no school, no shopping. SEIU Local 26, UNITE HERE Local 17, & others are supporting, w/ more to join. By me, Amie Stager

Remember: The real freeloaders in this country are the rich — not the poor or immigrants or any other group of people vilified as scapegoats. The richest 1% evade $163 billion in taxes every year. The United States literally has yacht and private jet tax deductions. Hello?

Stephen Colbert on the ICE murder of Renee Nicole Good: “The message from this administration is clear. Only they determine the truth. And when their forces come to your city: obey or die. And if you die, you clearly didn’t obey. This should be an alarm bell for the entire country.”

Five years ago today, a mob tried to overturn an election by force. It wasn’t “tourism.” It wasn’t “patriotism.” It was a seditious attack on the U.S. Constitution—period.

Never whitewash it. Never let them forget. Defend democracy. Honor those who fought and died for freedom.

“Over 140 officers were bloodied, blinded, or left with shattered minds and horrible PTSD as a result of that day. Yet our testimony is drowned out by Trump pardoning every person (over 1,500) convicted or charged in connection to January 6th, including those who violently assaulted us…”
Former Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn was on the front lines of January 6. Five years later, he warns the greatest threat isn’t just what happened—but the lies rewriting it. “January 6 was not legitimate political discourse.” Read his powerful piece: www.meidasplus.com/p/history-be...

Releasing a 255-page transcript on New Year’s Eve isn’t transparency, it’s an attempt to bury accountability while people are distracted. Read it. Share it. Text it to your family, friends, and neighbors. Truth doesn’t disappear just because powerful people want it buried.
BREAKING:

The House Judiciary Committee just released — on New Year's Eve — the 255-page transcript of Jack Smith's closed door deposition.

House Republicans continue their attempts to bury Smith's testimony.

People passing around the 60 Minutes CECOT piece like teenage boys from the 1980s passing around their dad's Playboy issues, and YouTube cannot take down ripped copies fast enough.
