Half the street corners around here have people--from every walk of life, including republicans--standing guard to watch for suspicious vehicles, which are reported to a robust and entirely decentralized network that tracks ICE vehicles and mobilizes responders.

KARE 11 TV in the twin cities has a very stodgy, risk-averse news department that rarely bucks authority. Just a cookie cutter local news team seemingly from another era.

SO it’s heartening see them actually check Bovino’s lies.

I've been here 24 hours, but already with what I've seen, well, I genuinely believe we're going to win. People here are well aware that what happens here impacts the entire country, that it sets the tone for resistance. ICE is angry, ICE is terrified, of how deeply unpopular it is.

I don't want to paint a rosy picture, because it's a city under siege. People are being abducted all the time. One person told me about watching 1-2 abductions a day, just in her own work following ICE.

It's genuinely a leaderless (or leaderful) movement, decentralized in a way that the state is absolutely unequipped to handle. There are a few basic skills involved, and so people teach each other those skills, and people are collectively refining them.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Liam Conejo Ramos is 5 years old - a preschool student at Valley View Elementary in Columbia Heights - transported by Trump and Miller’s secret police to Texas with his father per @startribune.com

5 YEARS OLD.

How can any human with a heartbeat - a conscience- be ok with this?

Look, I’m not the world’s best pollster, but if you can’t stand up against kidnapping children to use as bait, you don’t belong in professional politics.

If you don’t understand the rage, if you tell people to do anything other than protect their children, you don’t deserve public office.

They STOLE a tiny child from his father's vehicle and TRAFFICKED him to Texas. We need to treat this as the child abduction and interstate kidnapping that it is.
That poor child! He must be so scared and confused and alone. This is utterly unforgivable.
Here’s the report from KARE. The boy is five-year-old Liam Ramos.

A Minnesota high school student was nabbed by ICE agents as she was trying to pick up food for her family after work. She was violently dragged from her car and lost her shoes. So, barefoot in the middle of winter, she was put into the back of an unmarked car in a small town (Willmar).

His name is Liam Ramos, and he is 5. He was abducted from Minneapolis and trafficked to a detention camp in Texas.

You know what law was intended to prevent state legal regimes from racially profiling families and abducting children who might be caught without a parent? The Civil Rights Act of 1866. You know, the law to dismantle the Black Codes.
Just saw on KARE 11 that this boy was sent to a detainment facility in Texas and that his family didn't know his whereabouts for almost 24 hours.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!

ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

Absolutely lawless. The people against the creation of DHS were right. The people saying abolish ice so long ago were right. The people saying it now are right. Any elected official who is unwilling to commit to that should be pilloried out of office.

When Trump dies we get Vance. Thiel’s pet.

They'll blame a lot of stuff on Trump AND try to fast-track an even uglier white supremacist techno-Christofascism.

We must prept for this now & organize accordingly.
Grassroots activism, coalitions. Dissent. Sand in gears. Strikes.

Every angle.

Like how do you read anything about the mass incarceration system or pretty much anything involving how Indigenous people are treated in the US and walk away thinking that there are no subjugated peoples within the US

Unless you think people of color deserve it and colonialism is fine

President Trump has arrived in Switzerland two hours behind schedule after switching planes following an electrical issue aboard Air Force One. His talks with Germany's chancellor, Friedrich Merz, at Davos have reportedly been canceled due to the flight delay.

Can't wait for Trump to give us a report on the progress being made to turn the plane from Qatar into the new Air Force One
I'm not saying Air Force One didn't have a "minor electrical issue" that forced it to turn around, but I am saying that would be unprecedented for a highly advanced piece of machinery that's supposedly equipped to be a flying command-and-control center during a nuclear war. Odd.

Genuinely looks like they let him fly the plane for a while.
Electrical issue?

Watch the flight. Air Force One in a holding pattern doesn’t sense when it has priority over every other aircraft in the sky. If it needed to land, it could have dumped fuel and gone straight back.

Pilots out there, what say you?
