I don't know if it's really clear, outside of coverage of Mpls and pockets of organizing elsewhere, that hundreds of thousands of people are actively and at every level of society fighting our government as it abducts and imprisons and torments our neighbors.

Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones.
Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

Trump & his Republican majorities cut healthcare funding to 3x the ICE budget. So MN may no longer be able to afford healthcare, but we have seen a sharp increase in the number of masked Texans running wild in our neighborhoods with a license to kill.

Abolish ICE.
There’s no reforming it.
There’s no compromise.
There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

Really appreciate this thread from someone outside MN.
No matter what happens, forever after, the people of the Twin Cities will know that when the time came to answer the question, "What would you have done?"
They didn't just do as well as the Righteous Gentiles, the heroes of the Resistance.
They fucking did BETTER.

Get. The. Fuck. Out of our Cities ICE
ICE killed a member of our community today. ICE showed up at my kid’s daycare today. ICE is bragging about the number of families they’ve torn apart in a matter of days, and promising that their campaign of terror isn’t done.

Nearly 6 years and it seems the same community finds itself once again the nucleus of a great pushback by the people. Those of us in the neighboring neighborhoods will be hearing the helicopters and stepping up. We won’t accept this quietly.
Helicopters circling over southside like it’s 2020, but this city is smarter and stronger than we were. ❤️ Rest in power, Renee.

Still not the number one news story on network or cable news, anywhere in the world.
Incredibly fucked up how there are masked federal agents roaming around the American heartland, randomly attacking American citizens.
ICE pepper-sprayed this 1-year-old girl.
Once at the hospital, the doctor had to call in a poison control specialist.
They had never seen anyone that young pepper sprayed.
Another horrific story.
More details below.
