What more is there to say? Stop coddling them.

ICE and Klan go hand in hand – two different uniformed faces of white supremacy. We must oppose them both in order to effect transformative
change.

Here's another free downloadable window poster you can use to help repel the #Minneapolis #ICE invasion. This one reminds feds: Steven Miller cannot protect you.

Download both of these (or order a hard copy) at RLMArtStudio.com - links on the homepage.
A tall, scratchboard with black ink illustration of a federal agents kitted out in all gray military gear, helmet, face mask gaiter, and rifle stands with a pool of blood at his feet and the Minneapolis skyline silhouetted in the far background. The simple word LEAVE!, titled vertically on its side, takes up the entire right side of the poster in the same blood red color. A horizontal sign in Red and black text of various styles: Attention! All ICE, CBP and DHS agents: There is no "federal immunity" for criminal conduct. Stephen Miller cannot protect you. (Public safety announcement.)

“We will prevail because we have proven to the world and to ourselves that we are not ‘fringe elements’ or ‘special interest groups’ or so called ‘minorities’. Without us there is no legitimate majority. We are the mainstream.”
A black, brown and white poster (originally a screen print) in a woodcut/scratchboard style. Inside a thick black border containing a multitude of Black/African faces, is a quote in black block letters. Decorative lines fill the spaces between the words. The quote reads: “We will prevail because we have proven to the world and to ourselves that we are not ‘fringe elements’ or ‘special interest groups’ or so called ‘minorities’. Without us there is no legitimate majority. We are the mainstream. June Jordan".

When Frey, MPD, HCSO, and other talking heads say that local police "aren't helping ICE", remember: stopping the community from holding ICE accountable in the streets, is helping ICE.

Minneapolice: still protecting wealth, whiteness... and feds occupying our community and killing our neighbors.
