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!

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!

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.

- 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.

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.

"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.

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.
