Amplifying Ukrainian voices here and everywhere. I have family in Kharkiv and Crimea and a pile of family history enduring Russian aggression. If we are going to learn from history, we need to tell our stories. I run with a pack of rowdy shibas.
This is what we're facing. Abolish ICE.

ICE in Minneapolis are erasing your rights.
Please share our new video of what's happening in our city. youtu.be/W1dyNcRGRXY

Something to keep in mind about Minnesotans protesting unarmed with guns being pointed at them is that they more or less ALL have access to a gun, but are choosing not to bring one.
Bravery isn't holding a gun. Bravery is standing up to other people holding a gun.

Something important to understand about ICE thugs in the Twin Cities is that they're harassing innocent kids and parents at bus stops and schools every single day. Even after the Pretti shooting. It's terrorism.

Periodic reminder that ICE still isn’t going after “hardened criminals”
We would all support that.
What do we gain from yanking this father away from his wife and child? What do we gain from deporting people who have been here for 20 years and never been in legal trouble?

Here's what ICE is up to in Northeast Minneapolis today. Absolutely heartbreaking.

“The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they're the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. (1/4)

My bluesky friends, we've raised nearly $7K for St. Paul families harmed by the ICE invasion here. We're on our way, but we know rent is coming due Feb 1., and many families are sheltering in place, unable to work. If you haven't given to MN yet, can you spare a bit? Pls share. givebutter.com/4GPbcT

Okay. Time to call your democratic senators and tell them that Bovino’s demotion and humiliation WILL NOT SUFFICE to fund DHS.

Bovino leaving doesn't feel like winning... Replacing with Homan isn't measurably better...families are still sheltering in place, kids afraid to go to school, and the 8th district trampling on our constitutional rights to protest peacefully. It's an attempt to placate and divert negative attention.

The only difference between Homan and Bovino is that Homan understands that you keep the human rights violations out of public sight so people have plausible deniability to say “they didn’t know” later
CNN calling Tom Homan "well respected" and "not as hardline as Bovino" is an interesting choice. The dude took a $50,000 bribe in a fucking Cava bag and says all the same fascist shit as Bovino and Noem.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

The terror that ICE and CBP have inflicted on the children of the Twin Cities is, by itself, a crime of scandalous proportions that will forever stain this country's moral fabric, and all those responsible should never know another day of peace. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Friends, a group of neighbors is crowd-funding to help families harmed by ICE in our St. Paul N'hood. We know of several families already that need help making rent because they are sheltering in place. Give, if you can, and please share. It's also on the www.standwithminnesota.org page. ♥️♥️♥️♥️

WE DON'T HAVE THAT MUCH TIME NOW. Timothy Snyder knows about this shit.
If it is fascism now it was fascism then but if you were wrong no need to pause to make a special effort to admit your error -- we don't have that much time now, please act right away, get organized, and then tell your followers what you are doing to stop fascism and what they too can do.

Minnesota is living through the age where dozens of parents are stationed outside a school on a Saturday, on ICE watch during a Lego tournament. Read that again.

In the early 1930s the SA was roughing people up, creating chaos in neighborhoods, seeking to terrorize with the occasional killing. By the late 1930s it had been supplanted by the SS, which was much better trained.
Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

It's pretty damn fucked up that it took ICE murdering a white dude working for the VA, legally carrying a firearm, for some people to take notice of the tyranny. But a white mother of three, also shot in cold blood? Or ANY number of the people of color murdered? Nope.

A word of warning to all the gun-owning Americans who believe in the #2ndAmendment: ICE is now saying that simply carrying a gun on the streets of America is a crime punishable by death. You think they’re not coming for you?
