its shameful to have mayors and governors on TV making empty threats while park board and school board members are out on the streets defending their neighbors

both the pres of the mpls city council and the rep for the area renee good was killed in have been assaulted by ICE. in the last 24 hours

If you know me IRL you know I think Minnesota exceptionalism is typically unwarranted but do you know what we are good as fuck at? being outside in the cold. for hours. we'll meet ICE outside no matter what the temp. fucking pussies.

exceptional article, I think this gets at the heart of why Minneapolis is such a target for the Trump admin even above & beyond other liberal American cities

Sharing a fundraiser for a school right here in Northeast Minneapolis.

Many of our neighbors are afraid to leave their homes. The teachers and social workers know who has the most needs. 💯 of your donation goes to families in need right now.

There’s been heavy ICE activity around Lowry & Central today. If you have capacity to come out or work from a coffee shop on Central we need more people out to keep our neighbors safe. defend612.com

From a good friend in Minneapolis: "Target is allowing ICE to stage in their parking lots, use their restrooms, and abduct people from inside their stores - so if you weren’t boycotting already, now is the time." They were staging in Chicago as well.

Its not that the media is not covering what is happening, but it does feel like the military occupation of an American city should be treated as a national crisis.
A video of ICE agents conducting door-to-door searches today in Minneapolis

The homeowner requests a warrant repeatedly, is told they don't require one, then is told they're getting it, then the agents storm in anyway

They also point a taser at her to try and disrupt filming

again: not an atrocity list. please God may you not witness atrocities. those are easy to feel you should write down. but the everyday--level where the grain of supremacy lies--is harder to remember to do invent. document it. plainly, clearly, repeatedly

So hey, while Frey is doing soundbytes and spouting off, Sheriff Dawanna Witt and Frey's Police Chief Brian O'Hara's people were at HCMC last night protecting ICE agents, refusing to trespass them from the ER waiting room there despite requests from the hospital, and elected officials.

The NYT has this and then in their other articles is going for a "he said, she said" approach, not citing their own work
For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies
