I need people who don’t live in the Twin Cities to stop telling people not to join massive Signal groups right now. People are doing it. They’re going to keep doing it. Give them good advice about it.
The actually practical advice is don’t say anything to 1000 strangers you wouldn’t say in public

The calls for local police to protect people from ICE really feel like a rejection of the Movement for Black Lives.
The demand was to defund and it still applies.

Yes. The same thing happened when I saw CBP kidnap someone, they just took him and left his shit running in the street.

Speaking via translator, next man up describes his experience being pulled over by CPD and prevented from observing Border Patrol in Edgewater in December.
Agents called 911 several times and lied about him trying to ram their vehicle.

Speaker now telling the story about how a new camera installed pointed toward unhoused neighbors and then broadcasting harassing messages. A few days after it was installed, ICE showed up and arrested unhoused people.

The CCPSA has started the meeting by saying “ICE is part of the public” and would have to be allowed in. Off to a great start…meeting has barely started.

Wait wait wait, while Americans have to pay hundreds of billions of dollars in new tariffs, Trump is going send over $10,000 to each person in *Greenland*?????????
