I see ppl saying this isn’t a country they can live in & they don’t see how they can continue, knowing how awful so many ppl are. I say remember this: we Native Americans have survived genocide & oppression since the 1600s. We have not lost who we are. Dig deeper. Build community & persevere.

The abolition of ICE is not just an aspirational policy goal, it's a very reasonable one.
Made all the more reasonable in the context of an administration that has actively dismantled *far more* beneficial and longstanding government agencies.
That said, we aren't going to get there yet. 🧵

Why is ICE threatening the chaplain of the MN Timberwolves? This shit is happening everywhere. The national guard is protecting protestors at the federal building. We are literally under attack by the Feds. They executed Pretti. Why is everybody acting like it’s nbd for fucks sake?

All the protests area amazing. But until we MESS WITH THEIR MONEY nothing changes. Stop buying anything that isn’t a necessity. Only patronize local businesses and the few corporations that support regime change.

Both of the murderers were multi-year veteran DHS agents. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU. This IS their training!!
We should not fund DHS without serious reform. We could return CBP to border. We could require warrants for immigration arrests. We could beef up training and require identification.
The list of possible reforms is long. What's unacceptable is the current lawless status quo.

“The number became an important, irrefutable fact in the conversation about the immigration crackdown,” our editor-in-chief writes.

For anyone getting worked up about Nakima’s arrest, I knew she was leading people into trouble the second I saw the video. Any lawyer should (a) know better and (b) inform the people following them of the risk of catching federal felony charges.
No, it was a Nakima Levy Armstrong op. She is a lawyer and didn’t mention to others that this violates federal law (a church and abortion clinic access law from the 1990s). I lost all respect for her way back during Philando Castile protests. She’s very performative and not very strategic.

OK white folks, listen up. This is NOT the first time the President or his administration has IGNORED court orders. Even Supreme Court decisions. And of course it has always revolved around removing brown people. Welcome to long-standing reality. #abolishICE

NEW: ICE’s failure to pay its bills for months has caused some medical providers to deny services to ICE detainees.
In lawsuits, numerous detainees with severe illnesses allege that they cannot obtain treatment, including a man whose symptoms and test results suggest he has prostate cancer.

ICE has stopped paying for detainee medical treatment
Despite ample funding, the agency halted payments in October. They may not resume for several months.

@simonwdc.bsky.social has been a political strategist for decades. Which is exactly why Simon is the wrong person to lead or advise the DFL in these times. He can’t adjust to the present reality. Simon, come to the Whipple protest and LISTEN. You need re-education If you really want to help.
I am not standing down. I am pissed. People in Minnesota have treated me like shit for helping out. The attacks are still coming 24 hours later. I let it go this am thinking all of you had more to do than attacking someone helping you but I was wrong, and so I am fighting.

For Anishinaabe, the New Year either begins on the first full moon after the winter solstice, or the first full moon after the maple sap runs, depending on regional custom. So tonight, I will be in ceremony to reflect upon this last journey around the sun, and send up prayers for the next one.
