BREAKING: Kansas City is one of seven "mega centers" in ICE's planned nationwide concentration camp network.
A local real estate company, Platform Ventures, sold out Kansas City by selling a taxpayer-subsidized warehouse to make it happen.
Federal agents are already terrorizing KC residents. 🧵

A manual for ICE's immigrant-targeting computer system, Palantir ELITE, was leaked today.
Let's look at it, then step back to evaluate how far we've come along a dangerous road and where that road might take us. 🧵

Here is the User Guide for ELITE, the Tool Palantir Made for ICE
404 Media is publishing a version of the user guide for ELITE, which lets ICE bring up dossiers on individual people and provides a “confidence score” of their address.

we will be going hard all day. i won’t be posting about it because I don’t want to flood your feeds.

This post is blowing up, so for all the big name journos sharing it, some context:
This was a rally in Chicago explicitly calling for ICE to be abolished, and for a mass general strike to counter the Trump admin's continous attacks on our communities and civil liberties.

It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall.
But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"

ICE detained a five-year-old child and used him as bait in Minnesota.
Let that sink in.
This is sick. No more funding for Trump’s ICE thugs.

Just donated because BOVINO IS A BITCH
New— I wrote about the amazing success of the Greg Bovino Bitch Fund Benefiting Immigrant Rights in Minnesota (more than $18k raised just from bluesky!!!), how people far and wide are inspired by the fighting spirit, and why I feel it’s my duty as a journalist to use my platform for material change:
Calling Greg Bovino a "b*tch" raises thousands for Minn. immigrant rights
Spearheaded by The Handbasket, $18k+ in donations were made to spite the CBP commander.

When a neighborhood in Minnesota didn't have whistles to alert each other of an ICE raid, they began setting off their car alarms with their fobs so people would look out the window & see them. 🙌🏻🚨
All 10 ICE agents left.

Any one of these daily atrocities should result in a full congressional investigation and a disbanding of the agency. The fact that it’s all just shrugged off by those with the power to stop it is a national disgrace.
ICE ended up returning the man, Saly, after realizing he’s a fucking US citizen with no criminal record, per his sister-in-law. These fucking animals.

You’ve all chipped in more than $100,000 for dash cams in the Twin Cities - thank you!
ICE observers in the Twin Cities are in need of dash cams to prevent further intimidation and frivolous claims.
Cams are $110, memory cards $35, and ship to us directly via this wish list: www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...
If you've been looking for a way to help, we'd sure appreciate it!

Please read this! It is insane that this is happening now, that our congress is allowing it, and the mainstream news is NOT covering it. The story contains links to places you can donate to if you want to help these besieged people.
Please share this!
I sent a version of these stories (before this was published today) to a non-Minnesota work network, w donation links, & asked people to share what’s happening
Just got an email from someone who sent it to her mom, who sent it to her church, where it‘s inspiring resistance plans
