Just so everyone is clear, Minnesota is still very much under siege by the federal government and their gestapo. My son's school had to lockdown today after threatening messages were sent to the school office. It's all absolutely fucked and there appears to be no end in sight.

Liam made people look. Now don’t look away.

We still have children in ICE custody eating bad food, drinking questionable water, living in filthy conditions, and carrying a lifetime of trauma they shouldn’t have to survive.

Folks, ICE is still very active in #minnesota and #minneapolis

Please continue to advocate for us and for the next region to be the recipient of their unwanted presence.

"School bus drivers should not need special training on what they should do if ICE shows up at a stop. Parents should not need to explain the routine presence of masked agents wearing military fatigues and carrying guns."

More ICE activity today-leaving minors unaccompanied and smoke bombing a preschool, among others.

We’re tired in MN, y’all. It’s worse than what you hear.

But we’re used to living in freezing weather for half of the year. We’re tough and creative. Keep rooting for us. We need you.

Wouldn’t it be something if the Alex Pretti and Renee Good, posthumously, and the City of Minneapolis won the Nobel Peace Prize?

While we should celebrate every small win, there really should be a "Stephen Miller is the monster" moment. Unlike many players of the admin who are ass-kissers and opportunists, Miller is ideologically committed to ethnic cleansing, which makes him exceptionally dangerous.
BREAKING Greg Bovino has been removed as Border Patrol "commander at large" and will return to El Centro Calif, where he is expected to retire soon. A stunning turnaround after Pretti killing. Bovino's traveling blue city crackdown is over www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

I wanted to start this week off with a sense of slight optimism. The backlash against the shooting this weekend has been real, and the pushback from Americans shows that we are still standing together.

“Some federal agents will begin leaving the area tomorrow, and I will continue pushing for the rest involved in this operation to go.

Minneapolis will continue to cooperate with state and federal law enforcement on real criminal investigations…”

Texas Governor Greg Abbott (!!!) is now publicly criticizing ICE. Oh, they're getting scared now. The backlash is being felt, and they don't want any part of this narrative.

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

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.

Man, I bet the NRA is going to be furious when they hear that jack-booted thugs from the federal government executed a law-abiding citizen for exercising his Second Amendment right to carry a handgun.

Any second now, I'm sure.

He was a white guy, if that helps?

Hello? NRA?
