Found the thread I wanted to share. My whole life, my mother taught me: "the power is in the people." She was not wrong.
I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

It’s hard to accurately describe what is happening in Minneapolis without sounding crazy.
Unmarked rental vans all over the city, with people in military gear and no id jumping out of them to take captive anyone who looks nonwhite or who makes political speech they disagree with.

It’s currently operating totally outside of our constitutional rules. Habeas corpus , due process of law, equal protection, freedom of speech, 4th amendment protections against search and seizure, are all not being enforced in any common sense or meaningful way.

2026: the year so bad that even the Third Amendment is suddenly relevant
In which I explain that the Third Amendment—the one nobody ever talks about—allows hotels to refuse to house Kristi Noem’s ICE goons.
Opinion: Hotels Have a Constitutional Right Not To House ICE Agents
The Third Amendment prohibits the government from forcing people to “quarter” troops. ICE is essentially a paramilitary force—so why would hotels let them stay?

Labor writer Sarah Jaffe, my road trip ride-or-die, has been covering the Twin Cities since Occupy Homes, a spin-off of Occupy Wall Street. Today, she has a fantastic piece on why Minnesota, of all places, is the logical place for a general strike:
If Anyone Can Pull Off a General Strike, It’s Minnesotans
The massive outpouring of support for Friday’s day of action against ICE builds on long-term organizing that residents of the North Star State have tended to for a long time.

What I mean is this doesn’t change laws or the Constitution -you can’t do that w/ a memo. It does make crystal clear ICE are systematically instructed to violate both w/ impunity & dgaf so while we shouldn't concede this authority we need to recognize reality & strategize beyond asking for a warrant
This fucking piece of paper doesn’t “authorize” ICE to do anyfuckingthing it is a pure power grab
They are simply claiming authority they don’t currently have.
Yes, the law is not real & the Constitution will be interpreted in ways that serve power and also let’s not do the coup for them please.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

Nasra Ahmed, a 23-year-old US citizen, was arrested and detained by ICE. She was held for TWO DAYS.
ICE agents handcuffed her, called her a racial slur, and she was knocked to the ground so hard she got a concussion.
This cannot continue happening. ICE needs to leave.

Just left messages for Schiff and Padilla and talked to a nice young staffer in Judy Chu’s office. As we’ve seen with Jeffries, these calls are making a difference and we should keep it up. (I say this as someone who HATES making phone calls but hates seeing my neighbors kidnapped even more)

'Why aren't they in the streets' is answered almost every day in my small town by people in the streets! Rather than asking 'why aren't they in the streets' it's worth asking 'why isn't your media showing them in the streets' and 'who is served by downplaying resistane in its myriad forms.'
The idea that there are no protests in the US and no one is standing up to Trump is proving incredibly hard to kill over here in Germany. It’s become dogma, utterly detached from empirical reality.
I wonder if the people who keep talking like that understand they’re perpetuating regime propaganda.

Just a reminder that with all the stories we're hearing from families impacted by ICE, there are many many more stories you are not hearing because people are literally in hiding and need to keep their stories secret.

So many words spilled on this and the biggest problem isn’t fraud, it’s that these programs still aren’t even close to meeting the actual need. And in neighborhoods dealing with chronic poverty, children are still going hungry every day
