The cognitive dissonance of getting an amber alert for a missing white child as the state kidnaps, brutalizes and disappears hundreds of black and brown folks…

woof, turns out, while I was screaming at ICE in my neighborhood, my tattoo artist was being detained by ICE and taken to Whipple. They have been released and are with friends but jesus.

Oh and ICE rammed their car, too, after blocking them in.

Seems to be a pattern.

it took 30 of them to arrest two people today

we are giving them hell
Yup. And we terrify ICE. As it should be. They cannot wrap their tiny little heads around the fact that we really do love our neighbors and hate them with the white hot passion of a thousand suns
Another friend put it to me like this: "ICE has made the classic Nazi mistake. They've invaded a winter people in the winter."

"ICE held a 5-year-old hostage to try to smoke out his family, then disappeared him when it didn't work" is the closest I've gotten to fedposting
Minnesota: "School officials say the [5-year-old] child was used as bait. They say [ICE] agents made little Liam knock on the door to ask to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home."

This was happening half a block down from where I was helping a person who had also just taken a face full of pepper spray.

I will say: BORTAC escalated the conflict *immensely* when they showed up.
This video filmed by Ben Luhmann shows the moment a federal agent sprayed chemical irritants directly into a man's face in south Minneapolis.

Three agents already had the man pinned to the ground when a fourth agent walked up and sprayed the irritants.

That’s my city councilmember @jchavezmpls.bsky.social who Bovino threw the canister at.

To be explicitly clear, ICE is throwing tear gas and weapons of war at elected officials.
U.S. Customs and Border Patrol Cmdr. Greg Bovino is seen deploying a gas canister at Mueller Park in south Minneapolis this afternoon.

🧵ICE's tactics for arresting and holding observers and protestors is ever-shifting, and I'm hearing lots of different stories. Right now, my perspective is that these are your best practices:

This is abuser talk. Blame the victim for getting punched in the face.
Violence only helps Trump & may provide him an excuse to further trample our rights by invoking the Insurrection Act.

Folks outside of MN: if you've got friends in Minnesota, they could probably use a pep talk or a cute pet picture or I don't know, something nice. This has sucked for awhile, but today has been especially brutal.

I joined agriculture leaders from across the state today in Mankato for the Minnesota Ag Expo. Minnesota farmers are the backbone of our economy, and we must ensure they have what they need to thrive—strong markets and stable trade policies.

To park commissioners who suggest we should reopen the community engagement process on the Uptown mall park plan, I say: rerunning the public process until you get the result you want is something you'd only do to satisfy cranks and assholes. That's a lousy way to run your government.

Today did break me, entirely. So much ICE swooping through the neighborhood all day, beginning with 5 mins after I posted that below. I’m not interested in doing numbers off other people’s pain so I won’t write what happened. Just hold your people close.
Every day some story breaks me some. Today it’s the guy who approached parents at a school patrol, told them he was with Indivisible, and asked about how the patrol system works. The parents gave vague answers, followed him back to his car — and of course it was ICE.

The Twin Cities metro represents the majority of your constituency, Amy.

Our money, time, and support keep you in your office.

Federal agents are kidnapping children, deploying tear gas without concern, detaining citizens with out probable cause, and worse.

Shame on you.

do you know how much it takes for the star tribune to say this
Federal agents pinned a man to the ground in south Minneapolis and sprayed him with chemical irritants directly in the face.

Minnesota Star Tribune photographer Rich Tsong-Taatarii did not witness the man put his hands on agents.

As MN precinct caucuses on Feb 3 spur a series of DFL political conventions, be sure to only elect delegates supporting Senate candidates who will pledge to work to:

1) Abolish ICE

2) Expand the Supreme Court

Since the murder of Renee Good, this is the thing that has harmed me the most. A 5 y/o doesn't know shit about immigration policy and hasn't made a single choice that brought them to this point. To target children is genocidal. I wish I didn't feel that word applies, but I can't see it any other way

I’ve harped on this but new examples keep cropping up. What’s the significance of the Minneapolis Police Dept. being outnumbered by federal immigration agents? They aren’t fighting them. The MPD isn’t playing man-to-man defense. You might as well compare to the number of letter carriers or bus stops
