This is surreal. 4 Oglala Lakota men kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis have finally been located. One of them was released but the other 3 are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp used to imprison Native people incl. the Dakota 38 during Dakota Wars.

The reality is that ICE and DHS actually CAN and ARE attacking people who are exercising their rights.
I say this NOT to dissuade anyone from exercising those rights, but to challenge @tedlieu.bsky.social and other politicians to do more to protect those rights than post this kind of thing.

The First Amendment protects the public’s right to:
1. Film ICE in public
2. Photograph ICE in public
3. Observe what ICE does in public
ICE and DHS officials cannot lay a finger on any American who is peacefully exercising First Amendment rights.

Again, it is almost impossible to overstate how deeply unserious our major media outlets have been in the last years in the face of lawless authoritarianism. Other, more serious choices, continue to remain readily available.

Where is the business community and corporate leaders of Minnesota based companies in speaking up? Why aren't the big law firms sending lawyers to represent the people being attacked?
We are not at the end of this authoritarianism, we are at the beginning. And, sadly, we are on our own.

I beg us not to lose sight of the role queerphobia played along with misogyny. Becca Good’s tone in interacting with Ross was just like her late wife’s: calm yet lightly mocking; neither scared nor deferential; and because of that deeply, deeply subversive. katemanne.substack.com/p/renee-good...
Renee Good’s Murder was Misogyny
We cannot ignore the distinctively gendered dynamics of this—and much other—fascist violence

If the Democratic Party doesn't support nationwide strikes, then how are they not active collaborators of fascism? The absence of action in the face of authoritarianism is literally a pro-authoritarian strategy, and if I'm wrong, then bring me ONE official Dem Party surrogate to explain it to me.

It should be bigger news that masked agents were filmed hours ago removing potentially inculpatory evidence from the ICE shooter's house, clearly lacking evidence tags or chain of custody stickers.
Before we have word on whether he underwent a toxicology screen at the hospital following the killing
