if everyone could take on the “what if we just did the thing instead of waiting for it to happen” energy that much of minneapolis has right now, the world could be pretty good

This is just part of patrol. ICE threatens you, points guns at you, brutalizes or kills someone in front of you. Every day it's somebody new in our circle. We gather around them while they work through the stress and fear and then, to the person, they go back out.

My friends are so insanely brave.
Friend who's part of a neighborhood watch group says their car was just surrounded by ICE. Is fine but obviously rattled.

I cannot sufficiently underline how despicable it is that the IOC has required Haitian Olympic athletes to remove an image representing the leader of the Haitian Revolution (against SLAVERY) from their uniforms.

Ten countries have launched investigations related to the released Epstein files.

Norway, UK, France, Lithuania, Latvia, Sweden, Australia, North Macedinia, Turkey, Poland.

Conspicuously absent is the United States, the epicenter of this scandal.

We know why.

this admin negatively polarizing themselves against gun ownership to own the libs has to be one of the dumber political things they’ve done yet
Pirro: "You bring a gun into the District, you mark my words, you're going to jail. I don't care if you have a license in another district and I don't care if you're a law abiding law owner somewhere else. You bring a gun into this District, count on going to jail. And that makes all the difference"

To anyone tempted to celebrate Noem's big announcement that ICE will use body cams and that it will be expanded nationwide as funding is available...

That's already been official ICE policy for over two years.

Rumor: "ICE might be moving to small towns in Ohio next. Small targets where they think they can succeed discretely, and won't get many protesters."

Bitch, some of us live here! 🤬 Don't wish that on any of us! None of it is "small."

ABOLISH ICE, everywhere, forever.

UPS has announced 78,000 job cuts since last year. Its CEO made $24M.

HP announced up to 6,000 layoffs in November. Its CEO made $21M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

This incident alone would have triggered hearings and probably a senior-level resignation in another administration.
This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here.

Among many other protests against ICE today, sit-ins at Target stores were held nationwide this afternoon, calling on the corporation to "stop collaborating with ICE."

Protesters with signs sang songs & chanted softly as customers passed by.

This video is from the downtown Target in Minneapolis.

ICE will respond by requiring all non-citizens to wear special badges, perhaps in a unique shape and color so everyone can recognize who's who in the streets.
