The protests are absolutely accomplishing something. They've caused the administration to back down on a bunch of issues. The protests have got them scrambling and every second they spend on PR or denial is one they can't on their fascist agenda. #politics @ericmalikyte.bsky.social

Crowds throwing fireworks? How about ICE throwing flash bangs!
Again, you can’t be pro-cop and anti-ice at this point.

.@PabloReports: Stephen Miller seems to be operating sort of as a shadow president at this point. Is there any legal liability he could face at the end of this presidency?
Ryan: There’s going to be legal—and I think criminal—liability for multiple members.. certainly Stephen Miller.

If you see ICE out in Kent/Auburn/Covington/Maple Valley and the surrounding southeast Puget Sound area my Signal contact is JakeMcKnight.75
I can’t do much to stop it, but maybe I can help keep track of people being kidnapped. Looking to document as much as possible

I’ve started using the term “ethnic cleansing campaign” to describe the ICE occupation here in Minnesota. This is deliberate because the reality on the ground is that, at a given moment, any non-white person can be kidnapped by masked federal paramilitaries regardless of their constitutional rights.

Non-protesting dad just trying to hustle his kids, as young as 6mo, out of the neighborhood. ICE threw a flash-bang INTO HIS car, all 6 kids in the hospital now.
If anyone wondered how things turn against occupying armies there's a case study playing out in front of you.
