ICE thinks Minnesotans will eventually give up, it’s like they’re unfamiliar with Vikings fandom

As a parent of a child who has needs and may never live on his own.

This …. I have no words
In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi.

He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael.

At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk.

Wael died on Friday at age 30.

ICE caused his death.

They didn’t get to say goodbye.
Disabled son of ICE detainee dies after 30 days of hospitalization
It had been months since Wael Tarabishi seen his father. The family is calling on ICE to release Maher Tarabishi so he may attend his son's funeral.

I was at the interfaith protest in Minneapolis today. Here are some of the shots I took.

Something deeply wrong about loading up zip tied faith leaders onto a bus for their ‘crime’ of peacefully protesting the violent abduction of their neighbors.

Can we just put all MAGA and ICE on Epstein island? They love pedos, fascists, nazis, white nationalists, and faux Christians. So they should build their own little universe. Warren Jeffs style.

Asking for a few million friends…

This made me laugh. Nice to see a sense of humor on both sides. 🤪
This exchange actually happened.

"Oh my gosh, it was so nice to see you! Have a lovely day, fuck ICE!"
"Oh you too hon! Stay safe in that traffic, fuck ICE!'

When ICE Barbie had the gall to stand behind a Nazi sign stating, “one of ours, all of yours,” you see our response.

If you come for one of our community members, you come for all of us. And our Viking nature comes out. 
Holy shit

We’re protesting uninvited Nazi wannabe fuckers taking up residence in our home and fucking with our communities.
I'm seeing mainstream news orgs around the country calling today's action in Minnesota a "protest of immigration enforcement."

Ridiculous framing. It's not a protest against legitimate immigration policy, it's a protest against a paramilitary occupation and ethnic cleansing campaign.

May I recommend you follow suit? It’s the least you can do as you continue to fail to protect your citizens in numerous ways.
BREAKING: California has joined the WHO’s Global Outbreak Alert & Response Network (GOARN) – the only state to do so far.

This comes on the heels of @governor.ca.gov Gavin Newsom meeting with the WHO President in Davos this week.

This is an elected member of Congress & the GOP saying that he welcomes a war against another nuclear power who is literally our oldest ally & with whom we have a formal treaty military alliance.

Congrats again on that National Conversation™️ about which party has moved further from the center 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️
Rep. Greg Steube: "You see Macron and the French sending troops to Greenland. I would love to see the US military up against French troops in Greenland, because it would not last very long. It would be a very small skirmish ... we don't care about what Macron and the French want."

ICE agent asked why he's taking pictures of a legal observer's car, replies: "Cuz we have a nice little database and now you're considered a domestic terrorist. So have fun with that."

Given all the visitors to MN today and how cold it is, I’m guessing they’ll be like, “oooo! Now I understand why they wear shorts and tank tops when it’s abode freezing!”

Because after weather like this, anything above 0 is warm and above 32 is hot.🤪
