I spoke to @jjfreyd.bsky.social, who developed the concept of DARVO, about the way the Trump admin is using it to smear Renee Good, other ICE victims, and Twin Cities residents at large. I also traced how viral DARVO campaigns against abuse victims led us here.

The smearing of Minnesotans is DARVO
Renee Good and her neighbors aren't perpetrators. They're victims.

Some of the stories in here are absolutely chilling. One US citizen of Somali descent was just riding an elevator with ICE agents and then they detained him for almost half an hour in the freezing cold despite him showing agents his passport card. They only let him go once protestors showed up.

Heard some flashbangs on the side we are not on; can't tell you RN what's happening over there. Over here, state troopers still standing side by side with the feds. Have seen a few MPD officers wander through.

Around 100 protesters are gathered across from the facility. Some vehicles with masked agents inside have been periodically arriving.

DHS agents just gave another warning to stay out of the road and driveway, called out press as well.

It's 10am in Minneapolis and rapid response is underwater, reports of chemicals deployed already.

As others have pointed out, the ratio of feds (with more arriving) to residents and square mileage here is extreme compared to what we experienced in Chicago.

We are in freefall.

Today, I would like to present a deep dive into feminist history that got away from me.

Like, really got away from me.

It is about the futility of a politics of appeasement. It is about the unburial of a neglected feminist history. But most of all, it's about lesbian feminism, and sins unforgiven.

A few months ago, ICE hired me

I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable

And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"
