Friends, LEADERSHIP is ALL of us working together by doing what we as ONE, as a FEW, and as MANY, can do.

Data shows Israel has killed over 680,000 Palestinians in Gaza.

Among them:

• 380,000 infants under 5
• 99,000 children over 5

That’s 479,000 children murdered by Israel.

THIS IS DOMESTIC TERRORISM.
Door-to-door warrantless ICE raids are going on now in Minnesota with children in the home. ICE goons with automatic weapons enter, one shined a taser light into the camera to block the mother from videoing ICE searching the home and detaining the occupant.

Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias just announced he is suing Kristi Noem and #FuckICE for unlawful activities in Illinois.

Trump fired the people who gave us the numbers we use to gauge our economy and productivity. Now Trump seeks to replace the Fed Chair. We are actual months away from Trump BANKRUPTING AMERICA like he did every other business venture he ever undertook.

ICE just indiscriminately stopped a citizen at a bus stop in front of the co-op. If this is how they treat the President of the Minneapolis City Council who is legally observing, just think of what they’re doing to everyone else in our City.

China is now the leading clean energy powerhouse with the West falling behind.

The transition is inevitable; the key question is where and how fast it happens.

I look forward to discussing this in Davos next week at the World Economic Forum, facilitating a live-streamed session on electrostates.

But in a sense it's actually worse than a war crime, because there is no war. It's just a crime. It's a crime—murder—whether or not the aircraft can be identified as part of a military force.

It is absolutely crucial that we TRAIN as many people as possible

* De-escalation
* ICE Alert work
* Mutual Aid work
* 4th Amendment Rights
* 1st Amendment Rights

Mass resistance to disrupt any authoritarian Regime requires training and discipline - Civil Rights movement leaders knew this

I don't have any, but whether META or another brand, just use glasses that record.

Problem resolved.
"The Twin Cities-based Immigrant Defense Network says the group has trained 2,000 observers so far, including 354 people the day after Good was killed.

“We tell people: You have a right to record. If ICE tells you not to, just back up — but keep recording..."

They say they’re monitoring ICE arrests. Feds say they’re breaking the law.
The fatal shooting of Renée Good last week, as ICE officers and residents faced off on a Minneapolis street here, has brought new attention to ICE monitoring.

New from me: why I marched against ICE brutality on Sunday, and what we mean when we ask whether protests solve problems. (Picture is not of me, though I took the shot.)

FACT: Functional brain studies have clearly demonstrated anger, hate & fear in the stress of the moment, AND as constant rhetoric & thoughts over time, can cause the brain to bypass areas associated with rational thinking—making people both impulsive in the heat of the moment, & STUPID over time.

They refused to probe a murder. The people with consciences walked out.

🚨 NEW: At least four leaders of the DOJ Civil Rights Division resigned because the section's head, Harmeet Dhillon, decided not to investigate shooting of Renee Good.

I am calling for the arrest and prosecution of the ICE agent that shot and killed Renee Good.

I am also calling on Congress to support my bill with @jasmineforus.bsky.social to force ICE agents to wear body cameras, not wear masks, have visible identification & ensure ICE has independent oversight.
