Followup: Discord Support reverted the account to my email address for recovery, and I was able to get it back. I still worry about the potential for back-doors remaining for a 2nd-pass attack, so I still don't expect anyone to trust that account, but at least I was able to get back into my servers.

We have citizen patrols checking empty cars like this for children and animals that were left behind in the negative temps because that’s where we are at as a society.

@jennbudd.bsky.social once posted over 60 photos of CBP employees that were found guilty of a number of crimes, including domestic violence, rape, crimes against children, drugs...There have always been quite a lot of actual criminals in their ranks.

If fascists can convince themselves that their own children are better off dead than transgender, then there’s no limit to the violence they can enact on other people’s children.

And we’re watching the horror of that play out in the streets of Minnesota right now.

There is a through line between the conservative parents’ rights movement to ICE attacking children in the streets.

The white supremacist argument that “we should be able to treat OUR children however we want” very quickly turns into “we should be able to treat YOUR children however we want.”

Watching these videos of ICE attacking children, I can’t help but think about how many of these men first practiced their violence in their own homes.

Domestic violence teaches our oppressors to dehumanize the most vulnerable among us.

True feedback loop between domestic violence and state violence, they co-construct each other

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

These aren't ICE or CBP agents making the arrests. They are collaborators from the Plymouth, Minnesota police department.

Over 100 priests arrested in Minneapolis for protesting ICE in Minnesota where today it's -21 degrees outside MSP Airport.

The clergy gathered in prayerful solidarity to demand airlines cease contracting deportation flights to DHS.

Two women trained as first responders were abducted by three ICE agents. One of the agents starts seizing. The other two don’t know what to do. The women jump into action and save the agent’s life, only to be re-handcuffed and processed.

Detained by ICE, two women became first responders during agent’s seizure
The women say they guided agents through the emergency, later raising concerns about medical protocols, weapons safety and accountability.

It's a big deal for JD Vance to blame the left for ICE violence. It shows he's continuing to give ICE reason to believe they have impunity.

There's a pattern here: Vance is taking on the role of putting a softer face on Stephen Miller's authoritarian police state.

This kid and his father entered via CBP One app. It's just absurd and monumentally unfair for people who availed themselves of lawful channels when they existed by following government processes to suddenly get detained and deported to a third country.

People are missing a big thing about the saga of the detained 5-year-old. When Vance calls the father an "illegal alien" it seems to reflect a little-known Trump admin move that attempts to nullify asylum claims before they are even heard.

This policy is a horror:

I'm calling bullshit on the media narrative that JD Vance tried to "soften" things in Minneapolis. He blamed the left for ICE violence and called the 5-year-old's father an "illegal alien" even though he's lawfully applying for asylum.

New piece from me:
newrepublic.com/article/2056...
Trump’s ICE Goons Detained a 5-Year-Old. Then JD Vance Made It Worse.
Much of the media is treating the vice president’s Minneapolis visit as an attempt to lower the temperature. If anything, he raised it.

This is such an important point. This family tried to follow the rules.

The distinction is going to get more important when they start mass deporting the people whose TPS status Trump revoked. They’ll call them “illegal” too, even though they were here legally until Trump yanked the rug.

Another fact that people outside of MN might find hard to believe:

I cannot participate in any kind of observation of ice activities because they will put me in a database, and follow me when I make deliveries of supplies to vulnerable people, so they can abduct them.
A fact that's hard to believe for many people outside of MN:

I have to be vetted to join my local signal group that patrols our local elementary to keep federal agents from kidnapping students bc those same feds are infiltrating those chats to better target vulnerable people for abduction.

CNN: DHS officials have come to FEMA staff and told them to limit the use of the word ice…they are worried that by posting something like, watch out for the ice, that it's going to become a meme….

I want to appreciate for a moment:

There’s a historic ice storm bearing down on a huge part of the country. And government workers are being told to downplay the ice—the most damaging part of the storm—bc they’re worried it might remind people of the government’s disastrous occupation in Minnesota
