Wear boots.
A cheap leather jacket is "good enough" protection for your torso from most munitions.

The only other *must have* protection from impact munitions (and this one surprised people) : WEAR BOOTS, not sneakers.

Munitions skip along the ground I've seen people's toes literally explode in sneakers.

Today in Minneapolis.

Bovino's Nazi BORTAC unit questioned this teenager in Minneapolis, then put him into their vehicle and drove away.

Kidnapped right off the street.

finally:

can someone who knows the protest DJs pass this song along to them?

we should have a set of songs that, when played, do more than provide music — songs that playing in public constitute a politcal act themselves.

A U.S. Border Patrol agent kneed a man at least five times in the face while several other agents held him pinned facedown on the pavement in south Minneapolis on Friday, according to multiple witnesses who shared videos with the Reformer.

It's worth reminding each other every couple days that every delay you create, every horrible opportunity you deter means someone gets home to their family, might even mean someones actual life is saved. All of it is worth it.

"One asshole cop" and it's an entire system that let him kill a man in cold blood and then defended him for almost a month and then only charged him with murder after a summer of protesting

But they blocked a highway and broke some glass, so that's just as bad ig
Hummm, I lived in a purple suburb. BLM not only blocked the freeway, they came and didn’t millions of dollars damage because one asshole cop, who got fired, shoved a guy. People that had zero to do with it lost their businesses and livelihoods.
Guess what, that town went hard red.

It's not divorcing ICE from policing that helps people see ICE is a problem. It's making the connections between them!

I wish I had this guy's presence of mind when I'm angry. I'll scream the right direction but I'm mainly screaming vile nonsense.
An irate worker in Minnesota is stopped by emotionally unstable ICE agents who accuse him of following them

One agent repeatedly screams like a child

He tells them he's working and that they can go fuck themselves

Quite satisfying

Please support this @repdexteror.bsky.social @merkley.senate.gov @wyden.senate.gov. And please all of you support the impeachment of Kristi Noem.
The tragic death of Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year old mother fatally shot by ICE, shows that ICE can’t be reformed and must be abolished.

I’ll be introducing the Abolish ICE Act as a step toward justice, accountability, and humanity in our immigration policy.

Time to melt ICE.

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003

when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

You can change your w4 to withhold the least amount of fed taxes possible (still legally):
-If married-file jointly
-If both work-each of you change your W4 to single job.
-Claim all credits you can (kids/education/etc)

You can also get extention to delay filing.
(You will owe later-so plan ahead)
This NYC protester speaks for a lot of us 🔥

“It’s an injustice being done in my name… my tax dollars not to go feed people who need food, house people who need housing, even to actually have policing to keep actual criminals off the streets… ICE is… not going after the worst of the worst.”

minneapolis comrades:

when you have someone on loudspeaker from the jump, make them repeat some prepared lines that are designed to make the footage of whatever the agents do next MAXIMALLY embarrassing to the administration and to Trump personally.

connect ICE to the men on the epstein list.

Looks like the Portland feds.

It's weird to buy a gas mask in a supposedly free country, but one can.
Minneapolis right now—

At 35th and Park, a crowd has gathered after a car crash involving the feds. Agents just launched tear gas and pepper balls at people.

"hitting the unoccupied Border Patrol car"

I'm not a lawyer, but I don't think you can "assault" an empty car.

Show up for jury duty, decent people.

“The fixed surveillance cameras in the area of this parking lot, according to the business, did not capture footage of this event.”

Cap, as the kids say.
