Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him.
“When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
Auschwitz took time.

I don't want another shut down, but if we have one then here are my conditions:
Don't give DHS a dime - stand on it and don't budge, we the people will live in the pain until it's done, but don't let us down like you did last time. These are our tax dollars and I don't want any of my $$ funding ICE.

Okay, he's now been out three times and each time he's a little less wussy....I guess if I had to pee in the cold, the first attempt might be a little shocking too. 🐾 ❤️
Things you didn't know about your dog:
My boy Gus was born and raised in the south. The weather is cold and he did not even want to pee outside this morning. He is German in name only and a bit of a wuss. I can't wait until tonight when it drops to potentially single digits.

The weather is cold today, no ice yet, but the temps are going below freezing tonight. This is a rare thing. The news has been telling us about this since last weekend. I started prepping Tuesday & did a little every day. My neighbor is out there this morning because this is how she rolls. I'm wtf?
