I’m hoping that people will start seeing this as a systemic problem and dealing with it holistically rather than tactically.
Historically, this is the time where the majority of people bow out because
they don’t know how to sustain collective action.

The abductions and violence/murders are horrific and need to stop.
AND we also need to be talking more about the suffering of neighbors across Minneapolis and MN who have been forced to hide in their homes for 2 MONTHS, unable to work, feed their families and get medical care.

So much coverage focuses on the guns and tear gas and filmed confrontations and it IS all that. I don't want to downplay anything.
But it's also NOT JUST that, you know? The fear and violence and community action is also present in the most placid-seeming corners of town. As in any occupation.

I don't find the reform of "requiring judicial warrants" particularly compelling, but then again, I watched as folks said "requiring warrants" would stop no knock raids.

New poll — Abolishing ICE continues its historic surge of support.
46% support
43% oppose
80% of Democrats and 15% of Trump voters support abolishing ICE.
Independents are +8 on the question.

What in the fuck are we even doing anymore?
Two people have been abducted from Scotland in the middle of the night by the US military. Despite an order from our highest court that they be kept here.
The Scottish Government must show that actions have consequences by evicting American troops from their base at publicly-owned Prestwick Airport

One part of going through a personal transformation is moving from illusioned to disillusioned.
Many people previously seeing Walz as a protector are now appropriately disillusioned and see him as Minnesota’s steward of state surveillance and violence.

Minneapolis City Council member Jason Chavez has been a hero throughout, advocating, witnessing, speaking up, getting assaulted by ICE thugs, but still never failing to help the people he represents. Bravo @jchavezmpls.bsky.social
Dear neighbor, It is not the time to let your guard down, nor is it the time to stop organizing.
While Bovino will be leaving Minneapolis along with some U.S. Border Patrol agents, there is still no specific plan that has been communicated to the public. 1/

Yes, the database is enormous with a lot of Minnesotans with high scores but the first people targeted will be the most vulnerable.
Remember, the entire national security apparatus has been mobilized against this database from DHS, DOD, Justice, FBI, Treasury, IRS, etc. and all tools will be used.

Here’s the deal, they captured my face standing outside of my kid’s preschool in a high-viz vest. The database is going to be so big it’ll be useless. Employers will ask why you aren’t in the database and unless you explain you were doing mutual aid, the people hiring will think you’re a bad person.
TOM HOMAN: “We’re going to create a database where those people that are arrested for interference, impeding and assault, we’re going to make them famous. We’re going to put their face on TV. We’re going to let their employers, in their neighborhoods, in their schools, know who these people are.”
