ICE is fascist. Fight for immigrants! Live in Oakland. Resisting involves community. #BlackLivesMatter! Fat old wyt lesbian, pro-trans ppl. Apparently, I must be a "f*cking bitch," based on recent news.

If I sent a letter saying I would continue to inflict violence and murder on a community unless that community made legal concessions to me, I would go to prison.

Read Bondi’s Letter to Minnesota’s Governor
Attorney General Pam Bondi sent a letter to Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota on Saturday that blamed him and other Democratic officials for allowing “lawlessness” in the state. It was not immediately clear ...

Thank you for your comment. In America, as a Black American, I quickly learned that police had the quiet approval of the Powers that be to do whatever is necessary to preserve the power that rich white men have been given. Police were first created to be slave catchers.

His cousin attended my class a few years later—poor family suffered so much—I could barely hold back tears when I met him. Giuliani was a racist menace.

I was so angry because only a few people stood up for this innocent guy shot by killer cops. I've seen similar shootings against innocent Black people in LA. The whole media sphere usually supports the narrative that the cops are always right no matter what.

I’ll never forget #AmadouDiallo a foreign student who who was shot 19 times for being black by a “scared” 4-man NYPD squad hunting a rapist as he took out his wallet to show ID on his Bronx doorstep Feb 4, 1999. His character was also smeared at the trial.
Not one was held accountable.

The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember:

- Organized a city wide general strike
- Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence
- Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE
- Flipped public opinion against ICE

The “domestic terrorists” Renee Good and Alex Pretti?
Leavitt: "Nobody in the White House, including President Trump, wants to see people getting hurt or killed in America's streets. This includes Renee Good, Alex Pretti, the brave men and women of law enforcement, and the many Americans who have been victimized by illegal alien criminals"

Good thread here on how this morning’s hearing went. Make sure to follow legal reporters doing the non-glamorous work of tracking all this crap.
A hearing is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. CT (10 a.m. ET) on the state of Minnesota's request to halt the ICE surge in the Twin Cities.

I'm covering the proceedings remotely.

From the state's memo:

NBC: Why did administration officials jump to conclusions on Pretti before an investigation had even been conducted?

LEAVITT: This has obviously been a very fluid and fast moving situation

Getting some groceries to a terrified neighbor = “dead drop.”
MAGA military geniuses are talking about Minnesota protestors like they are the Iraqi insurgency, the Taliban, and the Viet Cong all rolled into one.

More to the point, they see the MN resistance as insurgency *because they see themselves as an occupying military force* and not as a law enforcement mission.

A big part of the story here is that women like Renee Good are braver and stronger than they could have ever imagined and that just doesn't fit with what MAGA men tell themselves about how gender works. It just does not compute.

Ellison: "The Bondi letter reveals what this is all about. This is not about fraud and it's not even about immigration, and it's certainly not about law enforcement. It's about handing over documents of the state of Minnesota, private information, including voting information, to the federal govt."

We've been raised in a culture that tells us self interest is all. Every person is out only for themselves &their cronies. What we're seeing now is that a lot of us resisted that programming. Some can't quite believe that's what it is--that we just fucking CARE. yes we care for free u creepy freaks!

The Minnesota civil resistance campaign has been remarkably successful:

- The GOP governor candidate dropped out
- Numerous DOJ officials resigned
- GOP members of Congress are speaking out; business feels pressure
- Noem has been relieved of operational responsibility

The campaign is winning.
