Good to see approval so high but also I want to say for the hundredth time that what gets covered in the media as "protests" in the Twin Cities is very often "people going about their day and then running to help when they see federal agents trying to kidnap their neighbors"
Approval For Anti-ICE Protests:
Approve: 47%
Disapprove: 44%

That’s a lot of places on strike.
Very telling that the resistance is overwhelmingly being put up by the service industry. Where are the white collar workers?

TONIGHT, at 5pm, at the Famous Dave's in Minnetonka, MN, she is hosting a kickoff party.
With that information, I encourage people to ask her about the HCSO's relationship with ICE and enforcing trespass orders against them. I encourage peaceful demonstrations.
Fuck ICE and their collaborators.

Call to Action:
Sheriff Dawanna Witt is seeking re-election in Hennepin County. She and her deputies have been refusing to enforce trespass orders from HCMC. Their treatment of protesters at Whipple has been shameful, making it harder for people released to get through safely.

As we in Minneapolis struggle with this unlawful, invading force… I ask all of you consider the parallels to your local law enforcement and the Black community often describes their interactions.
I am not exaggerating when I say ICE functions as a terrorist organization in the Twin Cities. The goal seems to be to harass and frighten people (the ones who are lucky enough to not be abducted, at least) and it's deeply unsettling when you learn they're in your neighborhood.

“…nobody sane now thinks the answer to abuses at Dachau was to give the guards more training”
I wrote about how concentration camp regimes evolve and why it's not too late to stop this, even though we are deep in it now.

The correct response to Dachau was not better training for the guards.

I think ICE and Boarder Patrol should get the fuck out of Minnesota and leave our communities alone. I think that then they should be abolished and not harass any other communities. I also think the US should leave Greenland alone.

jack asked if i would sketch up a poster to tell people in nearby neighborhoods about the partnership between flock and ring, and this is what i came up with. it can be printed on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper.
![YOUR RING CAMERA IS AN ICE AGENT
[a drawing of a ring camera with an ice agent dragging a person away in its field of vision]
"In October of 2025, Amazon's Ring announced its partnership with FLOCK, an A.I. surveillance group that freely shares its footage with ICE, the secret service, and the navy. Flock customers can use A.I. tools to sift through footage to assist in all manner of operations (like raids and deportations) without a warrant. Unplug Ring! Melt ICE! Protect your neighbors!

Today in Minneapolis: my kids picked up dinner before coming over. They ordered okay, but when they got to the restaurant (India Palace) it was all dark. They discovered that it was open for pick up only and you had to show your order before they let them in.

This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.

Marsu Pizza is incredible, they have an Al Pastor pizza which you should order tonight if you've never had it before.
We delivered pizzas to our unhoused neighbors today to get them a hot lunch on such a cold day (0° with -16° windchill at noon). So fresh they steamed up the windows!
Huge thanks to Marsu Pizza for making this big order happen & thank you everyone who has donated to keep our food outreach going!
