This is such a cool illustration of how the Mercator map distorts the size of Greenland, which looks as big as the whole continent of Africa on that map but is actually the size of Mexico.

We should stop referring to what ICE agents wear as “masks,” as it feeds into stigmatization and actual legislation to ban face-masks, including respirators. ICE agents technically do not wear masks; they wear neck gaiters. However we should refer to them as what they actually are: hoods

I just want it to be really clear, to people from out of the area, if they see pictures of fires in Minneapolis: THEY WERE STARTED BY ICE. NOT BY PROTESTERS. NOT BY RESIDENTS.
So not only are they shooting our citizens they are setting the city on fire. #MFD did respond. Someone get an Air Quality check in #Minneapolis with the volume of Flash Bangs & Chemical Irritants.

Having seen several abductions up close, it is really hard to convey how much the thing they’re doing is roaming in military convoys until they see someone who is alone and isn’t white, and then jumping out in large numbers, pulling them into a van, and screeching off, all in 90 seconds or so.
"“They specifically asked me if I knew where the Hmong families lived on my street & in the neighborhood.” Lugert-Thom responded, “I don’t know anything about that” & she said they then asked, “Well, what about the Asian families?”"
"“I was a bit shaken & a bit shocked of what I was asked to do.”"

Good thread from @mattcameron.bsky.social on how much what we are seeing ICE do now is different from anything the agency has really done before.
I think a lot of Americans have (understandably) assumed that this kind of brutal randomized street-level "papers please" enforcement has been how ICE has always done business.
It very much was not, until the past year.

Can confirm I have personally seen three attempts just today of agents in a convoy of ICE vehicles trying to snatch random POCs along Central Ave - and then being chased off by neighbors with whistles. It's blatant racial profiling.

it's not just that they're supporting out-of-town ICE shock troops against their own community; it's that they're being paid with money you would rather have spent on buses and schools and parks and social services. I feel like in the year of our Mamdani 2026 that's an argument we can push harder

If he wants to declare martial law, he will. It won't be based on reality. I don't know why some people continue to say: "be peaceful or he'll invoke martial law." Are you all living in this country in 2026???? Haven't you seen them make things up out of whole cloth???? Are you 10 years old?

US speaking out and making a VISIBLE show of this regime not being supported is bad for them. Exposing them to people in our communities who don’t watch news or avoid politics and may not be aware is BAD for them. They want you scared and silent. When you protest in your community, that’s VISIBLE.

I’m sorry everyone. It needs to be said. If you are one of the accounts on here telling people that they need to obey in advance because you are scared of martial law and elections being canceled, the psychological warfare that authoritarians use is working on you. Fear is psychologically powerful 🧵

A gentle reminder in your grief that Renee Good was out there to protect her Black and brown neighbors from ethnic cleansing. That is still the mission.
The focus should remain on slowing down the ethnic cleansing campaign and on protecting Black and brown families and communities from destruction.
