You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen
*Everyone has stories like this*

I am helping a church pull together a community meeting about preparing for ICE and everyone I'm reaching out to "yes-ands" me.
I am 40 and I have spent my entire adult life organizing, and I have literally never experienced this before. It's wild.
People are DONE.

Breaking NYT:
The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter.
The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status.
That is a war crime called "perfidy."

Friends, thank you for stepping up! Over $40,000 worth of dash cams have been ordered so far for ICE observers in the Twin Cities!
Early orders are trickling in, but we’re getting them packed and deployed ASAFP - several were installed yesterday, these are ready, and 300+ are on the way!

It's worth your time to call Hilton to cancel your account with them. 1-800-446-6677. Here's why:
They asked me if it was because of the ICE thing. I said it was. Then they suggested I wait a couple days to see if they were going to change course.
The pressure is getting to them. Let's keep it up.

I just found out last night that the $50k enrollment bonus only pays out after 5 years of service, and reader, the laugh I let out when I read that woke the dog from across the house. These absolute fucking grapes aren't seeing a dime of that money. No way they can ride out 5 years of this job.

It should astound and shock us that Greg Bovino has a larger security detail than all but perhaps three Cabinet secretaries. This is what it looks like when he uses the bathroom.

I absolutely believe the (oftentimes intolerable) American instinct to despise authority and react poorly at being told what to do will end up saving us here
People aren't leaving; looks like more have arrived since we have. Someone just shouted "suck my dick" and the crowd joined in with a spontaneous "suck his dick!" chant.

I will underscore that we could do something like this in every city and town in the country. Note that they make sure to include tabling so organizations can let people know about their work and people can plug into that work.
