Donna came over on her way to the gym to pick up 2,000 whistles we are overnighting to Maine to go to an immigrant led group who put out a call. 💕 Thanks for the filament and the GFM donations that let us do that!

"Minnesotans that are talking to me"

oh man I wonder if that sample is biased in any way
Emmer: "The people you're seeing in these videos, the vast majority of them I do not believe are from Minnesota. These are organized chaos agents, paid agitators. The vast majority of Minnesotans that are talking to me appreciate that law enforcement has arrived, and they are happy they're there."

In which I explain that the Third Amendment—the one nobody ever talks about—allows hotels to refuse to house Kristi Noem’s ICE goons.
Opinion: Hotels Have a Constitutional Right Not To House ICE Agents
The Third Amendment prohibits the government from forcing people to “quarter” troops. ICE is essentially a paramilitary force—so why would hotels let them stay?

I'm not saying to dunk on this person AT ALL but because I want this point elevated.

I don't want you to be ashamed to be a white American. The history of white Americans who sided against whiteness and acted in solidarity with others has been suppressed as ruthlessly as the history of violence.
At this point in the history of our country, I am very ashamed to be a white American! I don’t want to be mistaken for a thug who is so brain dead they convince themselves that they are better than anyone else because they are white!
I have never & would never BELIEVE THEIR CONVICTED FELON!

Anytime I see numbers showing that Asian people are less underwater than others, I wish we were actually fucking teaching the history of Asian people in this country.

Instead, maybe people are told that Chinese laborers built the railroads in the mid-1800s and then... like, nothing at all.

if you are surprised that politicians aren't joining or at least supporting the people protesting ICE, let me tell you about the AIDS crisis years.

I'm sorry, abolishing ICE is now off the table as the centrist compromise.

The floor is now The Hague.
Minnesota: "School officials say the [5-year-old] child was used as bait. They say [ICE] agents made little Liam knock on the door to ask to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home."

(4) If you are arrested, you simply must do the following:
- Identify yourself
- Prove or attest to your citizenship
- Invoke your 5th Amendment rights and demand your lawyer
- Literally do not say a single thing besides the above. Do not talk shit, do not mouth off. There's time for that yet.

We have already started shipping whistles to Maine, but if anyone sees anyone in Maine who needs them (especially groups who want big batches for distribution) send them our way. Email to request at the top of the linktree.

In the car while my husband drives so I called my representatives and cried and said not one dollar of our tax payer money should go to thugs who kidnap children and call them “it.”

if you don’t think you can campaign on abolishing this agency and prosecuting the people involved - if you don’t think you’re able to make that case using this video and other like it - get the fuck out of politics

The crimes-- against law, but more importantly, against humanity-- are just too overt, too well-known, too well-publicized.

This nation is going to have to look itself in the mirror in some very difficult ways, and that process will have to be formalized.

There's no moving forward as a country without a cleansing moral fire.

There is going to need to be a leadership that embraces that reality, whether Dems like it or not

This picture broke me, but the description of this kidnapping by a witness who says ICE referred to this precious child as “it” as they took him away fills me with an unspeakable, murderous rage.

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

"Research would tell us that most ICE agents entered into these jobs in part because they want approval, and they want to affirm their masculinity in public," said sociologist Nicole Bedera. "An ICE watch works by surrounding these people ... with disapproval."
Observing ICE agents is 'a de-escalation tactic,' sociologist says
The federal government has accused ICE watchers of breaking the law. Sociologist Nicole Bedera said ICE watchers have science behind them. She spoke with MPR News host Clay Masters.

Okay as someone who has been tear gassed in a confined space with no windows or protective gear as part of my job, this is absolutely jaw-droppingly dangerous.

This is what you'd do in a self defence situation, where your life depended upon this action.

This is nothing short of torture.

We can see this person is being held on the pavement by two agents. Hard to imagine the pepper spray is anything but retaliatory.

"Food banks" was right there.
Public safety means stopping violent crime — not weaponizing ICE against our communities.

That’s why I'm proposing a bill that redirects nearly $75 billion from ICE to local law enforcement.

A post from an MSP teacher on Insta said 🧊 is now wearing plainclothes and whistles at school patrols and asking too many questions.

THIS is why we need to know our communities and neighbors.
