A very disturbing scene. ICE went door to door in this Minnesota neighborhood and abducted entire families including their children. Kids were seen their hands zip tied.

I will be blind for life. I have fractures in my skull that they can't fix. I can't sneeze or cough bc it's dangerous to. They pulled a piece of plastic the size of a nickel out of my eye. I had shards of metal, glass, and plastic behind my eye and in my skull. They said it was a miracle I survived.

YES, this is what HAPPENS here. stop acting shocked.

For those who've been in denial, rambling don't take the bait, let Minneapolis be a lesson that kills your naivete and ignorance. There is no bait, it's not a distraction. This is a planned and violent occupation, it won't be the first, and no amount of peaceful protest makes a damn difference.

There’s a offline journal I really like…but it would defeat the purpose posting about it.

Next time you see me just ask me about it.

Near Lyndale and 24th Ave in Minneapolis tonight, feds have reportedly shot another person.

Preliminary info is shaky for now, hearing two people injured.

BORTAC just rolled up in an armored vehicle. A crowd is gathering outside the police tape—MPD presence as well.
