One thing I’d like to see is my senators and governor every day on tv at 5pm holding a press conference with video of every documented abuse that ICE is doing. Curate all of the witnessing we’re doing and show it to the press.
Local parents groups asking if adults can ride school buses to help protect children from ICE after a special ed bus got stopped this morning. Like a Dirty Harry movie except the villain in the federal government.

From a good friend in Minneapolis: "Target is allowing ICE to stage in their parking lots, use their restrooms, and abduct people from inside their stores - so if you weren’t boycotting already, now is the time." They were staging in Chicago as well.

We are far past the stage of permissiveness with white-supremacist violence inside DHS. We are witnessing ICE transition into a death squad.
This cannot be reformed. The only question is who will fight to abolish it, and who will accommodate it instead.

Either ICE Is Abolished or It Will Kill Many More Renee Goods
Minnesota is just the beginning of ICE's transformation into a right-wing death squad. But it can be the end

Demoralize the ICE fascists. Make them feel like they'd rather taste cold steel on their tongue than go on 1 more day with their useless life. Make them want to take that extra drink & listen to that little voice in the back of their head as they lie their head on their pillow that says "why go on?"
Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino and goons heckled by activists and shoppers protesting his presence as he and a federal agent caravan leave a Target in St Paul, Minnesota for a restroom break. 'Get the fuck outta here' 'You guys are bitches' 'Nobody wants you here!'

Please keep calling your reps to demand they oppose KOSA and other internet censorship bills!
It appears that some members of the Democratic Party are supporting KOSA.
The act purports to be about protecting children, but it could weaponize Trump's FTC to target LGBTQ+ content on the internet.

This was so disappointing. I and several other tech-related academics who live in Boston tried reaching out many, many times, but nothing - her office simply did not want to hear about this one, it was completely shut down.
"Warren is well known in MA's LGBTQ community for showing up at Pride events and dancing around in a feather boa. But when her queer and trans constituents asked her to meet with us about legislation that could harm the most vulnerable members of our community, she wouldn’t even look us in the eye."

Sacrificing a life with your kids so you can bash POC’s heads in for a $50k bonus you’ll likely never see is def a choice.

Its not that the media is not covering what is happening, but it does feel like the military occupation of an American city should be treated as a national crisis.
A video of ICE agents conducting door-to-door searches today in Minneapolis
The homeowner requests a warrant repeatedly, is told they don't require one, then is told they're getting it, then the agents storm in anyway
They also point a taser at her to try and disrupt filming

@ezraklein.bsky.social Hey some people from Germany here. If we had some more people acting like anarchists instead of following orders/rendering obedience there might have been no First World War, no Nazi-Dictatorship and no Second World War, and no Holocaust.
At a moment when liberals are finally recognizing that they will live in a dictatorship unless they undertake real resistance, attempting to smear anarchists by association with the Trump regime is perhaps the most pointless and irresponsible thing a centrist like @ezraklein.bsky.social could do.
Become an Anarchist or Forever Hold Your Peace
Neither courts nor laws will suffice to halt the descent into autocracy. Massive numbers of people will have to take direct action on their own initiative—in other words, to become anarchists.

Does anyone know who this man is or what happened to him?
He appears limp and unconscious by the end of the video.
It’s absolutely atrocious to watch them use such unnecessary force and brutality against other human beings.
Bovino having the time of his life it seems.

Account cancellation is a really effective tactic imo
It's worth your time to call Hilton to cancel your account with them. 1-800-446-6677. Here's why:
They asked me if it was because of the ICE thing. I said it was. Then they suggested I wait a couple days to see if they were going to change course.
The pressure is getting to them. Let's keep it up.
