Someone saying shit like this is an easy way for you to know without a doubt who the fucking enemy is.
In an interview with @whitneycwimbish.bsky.social, Blas Nuñez-Neto wouldn't tell us his clients, but did say we should remember that ICE agents are people too. (Can't believe this quote below)

![Nuñez-Neto recommended that protesters understand that ICE agents are people, too.
“I think it would help both sides to appreciate the fact that that’s a human being across from you who may or may not want to do the things they’ve been ordered to do. In my long history being in and out of the Department [of Homeland Security], it is very often what makes the news are the terrible things that happen but what doesn’t get reported are the … stories about agents bringing toys into the border patrol station,” he said.
“We’re all human beings, many of them have families, many of them don’t want to be doing what they’ve been directed to do … so it would help us all to lower the temperature a bit. I’m angry too.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:nztbvvo2gl4227zuxjf7gog3/bafkreia3sqpgq4ufvy746ld4tuadfwuf7ul4so6u2wjhf5oggd6kzxibtm@jpeg)

because from my vantage point, the white house does not have a win condition. like so many past occupiers, it seems to believe that a sufficient show of force will deter opposition. but like most occupations, the only thing you get with more force is greater resolve.

Remember, when talking with white people…
Any white person who is out there still talking about ICE doing “illegal immigration enforcement” is a bigot. This was always just a racist smoke screen, but where you could maybe blame ignorance before, now it’s just a fallback argument for closet bigots.

What so many “good” white Americans refuse to understand—because it means choosing between complicity and being uncomfortable—is we don’t need them to show up at protests, or shit like that, as much as we need them to tell their bigot friends, family members, and fucking parents to shut the fuck up.

Be smart out there y’all. Full gas tanks, full phone charge, layers, someone who knows where you are. This is not fucking around weather. For morale, remember that these ICE agents are from all over and likely miserable.
People here are outside patrolling their neighborhoods in this, trying to keep their neighbors safe from lawless armed masked goons. Armed with whistles and vests, they are essentially fighting a war against their own government and its ethnic cleansing campaign.

If there’s one thing you can count on, this is how stupid people talk.
If there’s a second thing you can count on, it’s that the overwhelming majority of white Americans, across all demographics, the ones who vote gop, always send 100% accurate representatives of who they truly are to D.C.

A lot of “good” white people just spent “no politics” holidays with their bigot maga Christian Nazi parents, family, and friends, and I hope they realize how complicit they are in everything that has happened and is happening right now, specifically because of their decision to do this.

Remember, white allies, if you aren’t actively confronting, correcting, shutting down, and/or telling off the white people in your social circles who are pushing bigot white MAGA lies, especially the “both siders” and the ones who believe they’re liberal, then you AREN’T doing what needs to be done.

Anyone who’s currently like “when will the GOP and centrist Dems finally wake up and take action against Donald Trump,” either don’t understand that admitting that we were right and they were wrong about everything is a fate worse than death for most white Americans, or they themselves are white.

Half a century ago, the American Indian Movement (AIM) was founded on Franklin Ave. in Minneapolis in response to police violence targeting indigenous residents.
Today, as ICE invades the city, AIM patrols are back, watching over elders, youths and aunties along the same avenue.

These issues themselves are fine but the refusal to place immigration and the secret police terrorizing our families alongside those issues presumably means that a bunch of leadership are white supremacists and I am fairly comfortable jumping to that conclusion at this point.
NEW: In this interview, Chuck Schumer describes the "five buckets" Dems think are key to their possibly winning a Senate majority in 2026: housing, "the high price of food [and] food monopolies playing a major role there," electricity, "the high cost of childcare," and health care.
Zero Chucks Left to Give
Chuck Schumer now sees a path back to the majority. Can he manage his way through it?

One of the most important things to keep in mind if you want to understand the American right today, especially the people leading the federal government and its allied media outlets, is they believe their own BS.
They really are in a bubble, and genuinely surprised when reality does not comport.

To those saying “nuh-uh, ICE picked Minneapolis because they WANTED the city to rise up as one against them” -
no, pretty sure they expected a scattering of blue-haired protesters they could easily crush for content + tacit support from other whites, not the organized total resistance they got.

ICE and MAGA really did bet the farm on all of Minneapolis’s white people going “oh yes, please take away our disgusting, evil non-white-foreigner neighbors, oh thank you so much.”
it’s beautiful that they’ve been proven incredibly wrong about that - may the rest of the country do the same.

Hey, I want to offer some helpful tips for coping with the cold for ICE folks who might have come from warmer places.
1. Wear cotton socks! Cotton is nice and soft next to your skin and will absorb your sweat so your feet stay warm. Cotton everything but ESPECIALLY socks!

Good morning to fuckers in our neighborhood kidnapping our neighbors! Can you see the city skyline? No? You’re wondering if Minneapolis burned down again overnight? Oh no, sweetie. That’s ice crystals in the air . It looks like it will get to around -8F without windchill! Please enjoy your stay!

you probably shouldn't come to MN right now, but if you must, here's some advice I just gave a friend:
DO NOT FUCK AROUND WITH THESE TEMPS. any exposed flesh will get frostbite in minutes.
you have not felt cold like this before. you do not know what to expect, and your clothes are inadequate. 🧵

Hi. MN getting a lot of attention right now.
Do NOT underestimate weather’s potential to absolutely BREAK people here, especially new-to-towners.
When it snows hard, drops to way below zero, everything frozen, it can make you stop functioning. Horrify and immobilize you. Changes EVERYTHING.

As of late morning, snow was falling in the Red River Valley with northerly winds gusting to more than 40 mph. Weather stations were reporting near-zero visibility at times.
