They’re taking kids from Minnesota and sending them to detention camps. They’re shooting American citizens in the street and locking investigators out of the crime scenes. The world is watching what happens next.
Hundreds of people spelled out the distress signal "SOS" on Bde Maka Ska in Minneapolis on Friday, Jan. 30.

I want people to stare long and hard at this photo. All three, guns drawn, less than a week after feds killed Alex Pretti in the street and less than a month after they shot Renee Good in her car.

They are not de-escalating or drawing down.

Bells rang at the Basilica of St. Mary at noon as part of a call for unity from more than 100 churches across the Twin Cities, one week after federal agents shot and killed Alex Pretti.

It’s been a day of action across Minneapolis. Whether it’s community demanding Target stop allowing ICE to use their property, making whistle kits at Sociable, or grandparents volunteering to drive to Texas to bring people back home there’s so many ways people continue to show up for our community.

In a scathing order, a judge orders the release of 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his father.

“Philadelphia, September 17, 1787: "Well, Dr. Franklin, what do we have?" "A republic, if you can keep it."
With a judicial finger in the constitutional dike, It is so ORDERED.”

Full rights and citizenship actually means they’re not a “foreign labor class.” And that’s what he’s angry about. He’s mad citizenship is universal rather than restricted to white people like before the civil war bsky.app/profile/gbbr...

UTAH auto body shop owner: “You guys broke the fucking window to get in here! Where is your warrant??”

Trump’s ICE goons: “Yes we did… We don’t need one.” 🤔

Rights are gone under this regime.

In an interview with MPR News, Liam's mother gave an update on her son and her own safety. She said Liam asks again and again, “Mommy, why don’t you pick us up?” Or “Mommy, we don’t want to be here anymore. This place is ugly.”

ICE needs to be ripped down to the studs. We need to start over and hold this Administration accountable for this mess.
 
Nothing has changed. Minnesota is still suffering and sending in a new guy to run ICE won’t change that – but Congress can.
"We need to rip ICE down to the studs and start over," Senator Tina Smith of Minnesota writes. "In the wake of this catastrophe, there is no reason we can’t come up with a way of enforcing our laws that doesn’t trample on our values and our Constitution."

There is no world, no scenario, no imaginable or unimaginable turn of events under which the Trump Administration will not end up regretting this stupefyingly idiotic arrest.

Don Lemon today: "I will not stop now, I will not stop ever."
Don Lemon speaks outside of the courtroom after release: "I have spent my entire life covering the news. I will not stop now ... I will not be silenced."

Some days I spend so much time organizing in person I say almost nothing online. So let me back up: arresting Black journalists is both expected by an authoritarian government, but no less shocking. Republicans *really* don’t want people to see what their armed, lawless paramilitary is doing to us.

Don Lemon from inside the Minnesota church protest: “I’m just here photographing. I’m a journalist. We’re here just chronicling & reporting”

Going to be difficult to assert that he was doing anything other than reporting on the event in his capacity as a journalist
