The majority of organizing happening in Minnesota isn’t just peaceful, it’s INVISIBLE. Moms showing up who won’t be interviewed on TV, people whose ICE patrols don’t turn into viral video. The grocery runs, the donations, the people filming bc they happen to be there. Please remember this.

As a long time fan of KFAN I won’t ever listen again until Paul Allen is fired. Making jokes about Minneapolis residents putting their lives on the line and sometimes losing them in order to defend our neighbors is immoral and wrong

Interesting. This could be a good approach
Saying there must be trials isn't just an emotive aspiration.

Congress can:
- Create a new court (complying w/ 6A jury vicinage)
- Give it jurisdiction over defined category of crimes
- Also create dedicated prosecutors for the same
- Strip SCOTUS of appellate jurisdiction

It can be done.

I don't even think this is a joke any more. There will probably be more crying, though.
I feel like this is what it'll look like 🤷

Another person has been shot and killed by ICE. They are detaining witnesses and taking them To the Whipple building and taking their phones. They already tried to block the Minneapolis police from investigating. Sounds to me like an attempt to cover up a crime.

Per this report ICE has detained several witnesses
ICE attempted to order local police from the scene of the Minneapolis shooting, but the police chief refused and instructed his officers to preserve the crime scene.

I'm looking for witnesses/victims of DHS retaliation against people recording their agents (ICE, Border Patrol, FPS, etc) in North Carolina.

I focus on press, but victims do NOT need to be a journalist. Everyone has right to record.

This bill by a Washington State Democratic legislator would prevent any law enforcement agency in the state from hiring anyone employed as a sworn ICE officer after January 20, 2025. A good start, I say. Make them outcasts.

It’s real that struggling businesses are taking the hit today for expressing solidarity with the victims of ICE slavecatchers. So for those with means, I declare the weekend Spent That Shit Saturday and Sunday at their shops and eateries to provide them some instant payback. #spendthatshit

This is what happens when you piss off an entire state of people who feel like the government should stop being assholes to undocumented immigrants and that citizens’ constitutional rights are worth fighting for. Violations of 1st, 4th and 5th happening here daily.

In Minneapolis, one man knew immediately what he could offer and said “Bring me your clothing”.

The ICE List website that went viral last week for listing information about thousands of ICE agents actually relies heavily on info that apparent DHS employees have posted publicly themselves to places like LinkedIn—even as Kristi Noem threatens to treat revealing agents' identities as a crime.
