A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

DEFCON 0 fascism level now: Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Walz announcing that ICE will pull out if Minnesota hands over its voter rolls to the Trump regime.
Incoming thread about CBP, ICE, the violence in Portland and Minneapolis, plus NSPM-7, white supremacist accelerationism, and why this all matters.
It’s a bigger, more dire fascist situation that’s we all need to confront — which demands more info and context than “all the same Gestapo shit”

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Marimar Martinez was the first US citizen shot by ICE.
They claimed she was a terrorist. Said she was brandishing a weapon.
They lied. Video footage exonerated her and showed the ICE agent shot her five times.
He bragged to other agents “five shots, 7 holes”.

I flew down to south Texas today to do my job - investigate why people are dying in ICE detention centers.
I was just illegally denied entry to Dilley Detention Center. Because they have something to hide.

This is not about two student athletes (one, a little girl who just wants to run cross-country at her middle school). This is about the government's quest to identify groups of Americans not worthy of equal protections under the law. We should all object to that.

A teenage boy was walking home in Minneapolis yesterday when four masked men jumped out of a van & questioned him - with no parent or guardian present.
He was bundled into the van & taken away.
Bystanders heard the boy say: “Can I just go home?”
I don’t know how America comes back from all this.

There is a grave moral consequence to letting this go on. Shut down the government, have a general strike, grind the country to a halt, hit the streets. But not treating a demented administration lying about its thugs committing cold-blooded murder as an emergency? That is an emergency in itself.

I fell outside TimHorton’s grabbing cookies for my kids. Their “wheelchair ramp” is a total hazard, lump of loose asphalt. Boom, broke my tibia & fibula in spiral fractures. 2 metal plates, 17 screws, 29 staples, 3 surgeries. 10 years, it wrecked my life as a mom & they still haven’t fixed that ramp
What's the most ridiculous way you ever hurt yourself? I got out of the tub, skidded in water and tripped over the toilet. Ankle sprain.
