I've been sent video from the end of the ICE raid at the Zipps on 32nd and Shea.
It shows protesters -- on the sidewalk, impeding no one -- getting drive-by maced by an ICE agent from a truck as it rolls away down the road.
Hard to see how such tactics are justifiable.

in terms of violent confrontations, though, homan won’t be out on the streets stirring that up. he’ll be nestled safely in the whipple building. just as evil as bovino but a different energy.
While glad to see Bovino humbled, I really don’t have any higher opinion of Homan—a cruel, cold, corrupt, calculating bureaucrat who’s devoted more of his career to mass deportation than almost anyone. He’s the architect of child separation.

The President is sending Tom Homan to Minnesota.
He accepted $50,000 in cash bribes from FBI Agents stuffed in a CAVA bag.
Trump, Kristi Noem, Greg Bovino, and Tom Homan—they're all corrupt, in it for themselves, & lying to you.

On NPR on Friday, there was a story of a 4-year-old--an American citizen--who hasn't left her house since early December, not even to play in the yard. And her 8-year-old brother recently stopped going to school, too. Their father is undocumented, and the family doesn't want to risk him being taken.

let the dam in your heart shatter, and the pain that floods forth compel you to action
Here's a regular white guy (literally "Chad") not a protester. because, "It seemed pointless, or just a way for people to expiate their sense of guilt." Chad witnessed something shattering. And, that all changed in a moment.
Excellent article!

Steph Curry on watching the protests from his hotel window: "In negative 10-degree weather. It was beautiful to see that turnout. That speaks to how important people felt to have their voice heard. In those elements and whatever streets outside our hotel, they were out, and it was amazing to watch."

“He’s killing us in the streets and we still have to pay our taxes in April” is an incredibly compelling point.
Before speaking with two armed men at the Pretti vigil last night, a man approached & asked if I was going to tell the truth. I said yes. He told me how frustrated he was at the media & the harm it’s causing to his community.
I asked if he wanted to share words for the media on camera, & he did:

Is the government ever going to release the name of the masked agent who killed Alex Pretti or are we going to continue to have a federal secret police in this country?

Agents keep detaining Native Americans— especially if they live outside the reservation boundaries.

Todd Blanche, facing disbarment for unethical conduct, pleads with Americans to ignore the evidence of their own eyes and ears and instead accept the lies of the wannabe totalitarian state.
Blanche: "Remember, what we all saw in that 10 or second video is not the full story. Every American should know that. The story goes way beyond that. It starts with the fact that literally for months we have received 0 assistance from the state of Minnesota."

For every act of violence against observers captured on camera, there are a dozen Minnesotans doing the quiet quotidian work that keeps others safe. The occupying force can’t comprehend that. That is why they will lose.
The majority of organizing happening in Minnesota isn’t just peaceful, it’s INVISIBLE. Moms showing up who won’t be interviewed on TV, people whose ICE patrols don’t turn into viral video. The grocery runs, the donations, the people filming bc they happen to be there. Please remember this.

Just kinda seems like refusing to tell us which ICE agents murdered Alex Pretti undercuts the idea that they’re wearing masks to protect themselves — rather than to be able to kill people with impunity.
