National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation.
Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

ICE ended up returning the man, Saly, after realizing he’s a fucking US citizen with no criminal record, per his sister-in-law. These fucking animals.

Someone just called in ICE knocking doors in Uptown and within 5 minutes maybe 100 people had arrived. Probably a false alarm but extremely hard to see how ICE operates with this kind of suffocating neighborhood response. Incredible work Minneapolis. ICE, just give up and get out already.

This is a good question. Let's talk about it!
Why do civil servants resign in protest? Couldn't they have done more good on the inside? 🧵

Sincerely wanting to understand why is honest people resigning, being considered an act of bravery or somehow fruitful. It’s one thing if the admin felt embarrassed by the resignations & rectified course. But that’s not happening, so now our institutions are just left with fewer people of integrity.
Breaking: NYT now says *six* federal prosecutors in Minnesota have just resigned over the Justice Department's push to investigate the widow of Renee Good and the department's reluctance to investigate the ICE agent who shot Good, according to people with knowledge of their decision.

If you leave your phone at home,
Turn it off ,and if possible, remove the battery.
Set up local comms on CB or ISM bands so you don't need a license. If you want a license ,go get a technician Ham license and learn morse code. Morse will enable communications under all conditions, on and off air.

The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

This one's life or death for a free society, it's not a silly difference of immaterial opinion. It's not silly goof politicians and symbolic votes. Be brave, make the demand. Together we can stop this, we must.
The writing is on the wall. The time for ending ICE is now. The time for cowering and crowing about the rhetoric is over. Politicians must get on board or get the fuck out of the way.
Wow — New YouGov / Economist poll:
46% support abolishing ICE
43% oppose abolishing ICE
This is the first time that abolishing ICE has received net positive support
