Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

I realise I'm just a freak, but living in a multicultural city is the best thing of all time, it's just the best possible human experience and i can not understand why anyone on earth would be like "weve got to destroy this"

They expect - they NEED - the people they threaten to fall in line, like the law firms and universities and media companies and billionaires and Congress did. If you say “No, make me,” they simply do not have a Plan B. TRUMP DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH GUYS TO MAKE YOU.

ICE has kidnapped so many people from their cars that the city had to put out this statement. Let that sink in.
Vehicles that are abandoned due to an ICE detention and towed to the City's impound lot will be released to their owners or a representative at no cost.

i’ll say it again, jennings is a contemptible liar and it is a disgrace that CNN puts him on television every night to spread bullshit
The thing is, some people can make mistakes, get things wrong, be careless, etc. But that’s not what Jennings did here. Jennings knowingly, purposefully and intentionally lied to utterly distort what was said, which CNN pays him to do every day. CNN is the enabler of this.

Three generations of law professors making history up is enough.
Scholars spend decades researching and writing history with nuance and care.
American law professors will take a couple of months to relearn all of science to explain why the world is, in fact, flat.

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports.
And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.”
Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

US higher education was a crown jewel, generating knowledge, wealth, prestige, and power unrivaled by anyone.
And the US is throwing it away, because Americans elected a govt ideologically opposed to truth, science, merit, and racial/gender equality, preferring to weaken the country to reduce that.

We should tell the New York Times that there are a few Harvard undergraduates who come from Minneapolis.
This is how far you have to scroll on the NYTimes homepage to get any coverage of what's going on day-to-day in an occupied American city where schools are closing because the government is checking the papers of all brown or Asian people then brutalizing, imprisoning or killing them.

The amount of ICE agents slipping on actual ice is out of control lmao. They really sent motherfuckers into Minnesota in the middle of winter who don't know how to run in snow let alone on ice. It's having an effect that makes people less afraid, like someone straight up jumps on this ICE loser lmao

This is escalating fast because of the sheer number of raw recruits, but is built on decades of no accountability for bad cops. How far are we from these guys executing a presidential kill list while the other branches just shrug their shoulders and local law enforcement looks the other way?
Something horrifying is happening in America: Because he was filming ICE Nazis, whuch is protected under the constitution, an American citizen in St. Paul, Minnesota was brutalized to the point of becoming unresponsive. What happened in Nazi Germany is happening in America. 😳👇
