So let me get this straight for what happened at Whipple today. A violent neo-Nazi who was released from jail the day prior does a drive-by pepper spray on an innocent group of people, and Minneapolis police arrest the people who were sprayed and not the Nazi that sprayed them. Alright…

After 6am this morning in Whittier, Minneapolis—FOUR BLOCKS from where Pretti was murdered.

18 agents with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) markings smashed an apartment window, ran in, and came out with one man.

This is what they consider “de-escalating."

They don’t know the resiliency of Ward 9 neighbors though. We aren’t stopping until the whole dam system is abolished.

In the south side of Minneapolis, community members have started setting up filter blockades- which are make shift roundabouts. The intent is to slow down the erratic ICE driving behavior among other things. Full report to come on @statuscoupnews.bsky.social

My office has been flooded with reports of the cruel, unsafe, unlawful conditions inside of the Whipple detention facility in Minneapolis.

This weekend, I was finally granted access to perform oversight of the facility. youtu.be/0SxPn8n2Bfg

This morning, federal agents staged at the Powderhorn Park Recreation Center lot and began to throw chemical irritants at observers. They also kidnapped an observer. Our parks are meant for our children, youth, and neighbors. They should never be militarized zones meant to separate families. 1/

Mockler: He's trying to paint the peaceful protesters as lawless people. You know who's actually lawless? ICE. A Republican appointed judge said they violated more court orders in January than most agencies have throughout their entire existence.

Quick Racket giveaway!

We've got one extra ticket to the Tom Morello show at First Ave today. RT by 10 a.m. for a chance to win!

The catch? The ticket is non-transferrable, so you'll have to meet Keith at the door around 11.

Racist propaganda is being distributed klan-style throughout Bloomington/South Minneapolis. My coworker found one of these on his lawn when he woke up Tuesday morning. Some are purportedly being poisoned as well, he mentioned one of his neighbors went to the ER after opening one.

Holocaust Remembrance Day: a good day to remind ourselves that the logical result of an unchecked Trump regime is one of genocide, the beginning stages of which we are already seeing play out. Remembering is good, but it needs to be accompanied by action.

@mashagessen.bsky.social is right: this is where we are. Russian has a word for it-- "proizvol"--arbitrariness tinged with tyranny. The arbitrariness is a constituent element of the terror. Americans lack words to grasp what's happening to us. History can help.

Abolish ICE, abolish DHS, redistribute the other agencies, prosecute actual criminals, such as people who commit execution-style murders of Americans in broad daylight.

There were six or seven agents, trying to harm a man who looks unarmed and still they murdered him in broad daylight. These ICE agents are venal, incompetent, cowardly and this type of execution will keep on happening because they are an unchecked paramilitary force of scared men who crave power.

ALL MN PROTESTERS

Absolutely nothing could be worse for our cause than violence and rioting. It is what ICE and Trump obviously want. Do not burn down our own city to protest invaders; they do not care; they will enjoy it. Do not do it. Do not let your fellow protesters do it.
