I think one thing people outside Minnesota don't understand is that after Good and Pretti were killed by feds while observing, the most normal people you could imagine have made peace with the fact that they could be next, and they are still out there because they say it's the right thing to do.
“If I am killed doing this, throw my body at the White House, martyr the shit out of me & raise hell. Do not be sad. Do not think I would do anything differently. I would do it over & over again — this is too important to sit down & shut up and not do anything.” www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Suburban observers say ICE has only been more aggressive since Homan: “I think they’re getting angry that we’re winning and the country is rallying around us. We’re so organized and we act with such integrity. They don’t want to admit they feel threatened by us.”

as someone who dealt extensively with immigration agencies before ice existed, when it was still INS + border patrol, let me tell you that hiring vulnerable people and promising them personal safety has *always* been how these agencies recruit. so this taunt carries real weight and truth.
really casually saying "y'all better lawyer up bc your bosses are preparing to throw you under the bus" is an elite taunt, imo
If you are out observing or rapid responding to ICE today, let them know that they’ve lost. Remind them that they’ve failed and they should go home and call a lawyer.

I think people often wonder this, and it's a great question, so let me explain the advantages of 3D printing whistles. There are many.
The 3D printing effort started from one of our organizers who started by sourcing mass-produced whistles.

I mean, are they really cheaper or easier to produce than just sourcing the right thing from a mass distributor? it's sweet but doesn't seem Pareto efficient, and I feel like that's important to the revolution

Precinct 10-1 unanimously (with over 130 people) passed a resolution to have the official @dfl.org position be “DHS must be dissolved,” along with resolutions to mandate an eviction moratorium, bar ICE from operating in schools, and cut all funding for ICE while they are operating in Minneapolis.
If my caucus was any sort of indication, national Dems really need to wake the fuck up about what voters want them to do about ICE.

A federal judge ordered the release of two Venezuelan men accused of assaulting a federal immigration officer last month outside a north Minneapolis duplex.
But they never made it outside the St. Paul courthouse. ICE detained them again, without explanation, after the hearing.

I've learned that the MN Sheriffs Association wants to use procurement contracts called "basic ordering agreements" as a way to bypass AG Ellison's advisory opinion that MN police agencies can't legally hold people on immigration detainers beyond when they would otherwise be released from custody.

three years ago all the radical centrists got convinced via group chats that if we simply threw trans people under the bus, the fascists would let us win everything else.
instead we lost everything, and also trans people got thrown under the bus

where are people getting the idea that its either "supporting trans rights" or "continuing democracy". what kind of democracy do they want to live in. where "politically inconvenient" groups get thrown to the wolves every two to four years? doesnt sound good to me. why would you want that
