We are here for peace, and that depends almost entirely on how long we have a supply of non-combatants to attack.
Homan in Minnesota: "My goal, with the support of President Trump, is to achieve a complete draw down and end this surge as soon as we can. But that is largely contingent upon the end of the illegal and threatening activities against ICE and its federal partners that we're seeing in the community."

Nothing has changed.

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

how to avoid this: quickly disable Face/TouchID on iOS with 5 taps of the power button. ideally, disable it entirely and use a passcode - unlike face/finger, cops can’t force you to provide it
The FBI was able to access Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson's Signal messages because she used Signal on her work laptop. The laptop accepted Touch ID for authentication, meaning the agents were allowed to require her to unlock it. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I've personally had barely any ICE encounters. I've done patrolling when I can. And my body is just yelling at me that it's wrecked.
Even doing a little bit is fucking taxing. Everyone doing more is a superhero, and I don't think folks who haven't been involved in an occupation understand the toll.

The Senate is scheduled to take the first procedural vote on a funding package including DHS funding tomorrow.
Let me be clear: Until ICE is properly reined in and overhauled, the DHS funding bill won’t have the votes to pass the Senate.
