Q: Can you be specific about how many ICE and CBP agents are currently operating in the state?

HOMAN: 3,000. There's been some rotations. They've been in theater a long time. Day after day, can't eat in restaurants, people spin on you, blowing whistles at you. But my main focus now is draw down

one of the agents said “okay we know” when we were whistling so i leaned in and whistled louder and he threatened to pepper spray me. i then said “are you scared of a fucking whistle dawg” and he very meekly said “no i’m not scared of a whistle”

ALSO, last-minute consumption hoarding works AGAINST one of the goals of the shutdown, because it just means the oppressors get your money, time, and resources faster and all at once.

We will need to be striking more often moving forward, pairing this with sustained boycotts. Shutting Empire down means forever.

I will be supporting the student organizers’ call to action. Endurance.

Students, who have been among the tens of thousands resisting terror in Minnesota, have called for a nationwide shutdown on Friday, January 30.

No school.
No work.
No shopping.

Yesterday was incredible. The official count is in — 5.2 million people joined the #HandsOff protest nationwide. So many are asking: what’s next? Mark your calendars: 4/19 is the next nationwide day of protest.

The candidates in my riding this election are a Econ bro, a real estate agent, & a lawyer… so guess who’s voting Green? She’s doing a degree in policy & geography, she’s a pharmacy tech, and a single mom. She won’t win but she’ll get my vote anyhow cuz ain’t no way I’m giving it to the status quo.

Writing my take on today's actions privately and will release it in two weeks or so👀

In the meantime, be safe out there, and *please* make some lasting connections for the real work to be done.

Paraphrasing Kwame Ture, one-day mobilization is easy - organizing long-term is what works.

To the world:
We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom.

Everyone should read this, especially for the bits in the article that give us some insight into what these detention prisons used by ICE are like.

And no one, no one, should be traveling to the US if they can avoid it. No one.

I was a British tourist trying to leave America. Then I was detained, shackled and sent to an immigration detention centre
Graphic artist Rebecca Burke was on the trip of a lifetime. But as she tried to leave the US she was stopped, interrogated and branded an illegal alien by ICE. Now back home, she tells others thinking...

Even if you don't go to actions, to protests, to whatever... You need to ditch the face/thumbprint unlock ASAP

Signed,
Me, who just finally did it this week 😂
The US Constitution's Fifth Amendment protection against self-incrimination does not prohibit police officers from forcing a suspect to unlock a phone with a thumbprint scan, arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...
They can't force you to enter a passcode though.
Cops can force suspect to unlock phone with thumbprint, US court rules
Ruling: Thumbprint scan is like a "blood draw or fingerprint taken at booking."
