ICE Out of Minneapolis: A Battle the Whole Labor Movement Must Take Up!
Minneapolis is rising up against ICE as workers, immigrants, and communities refuse to accept raids and repression. While some politicians posture and others attack the movement outright, and the courts keep the deportation machine running, only organized labor and collective action can turn mass protest into real power and drive ICE out of the city.

Its actually really easy to automod Nazis out of existence on a platform, cause they can't help but use slurs and throw out their dog whistles and codes to signal to each other that they are Nazis. Sometimes they even just go "Hey I'm a Nazi, glad to meet you fellow Nazi."
this fascist account has been active & posting for at least a week.
having basic moderation automation filters set to remove accounts with slur names and nazi terminology is an easy tablestakes feature to implement.
this is a very old problem that was already solved going back to bbs forums.

ICE has an acronym for when they detain US citizens, which, of course, should not be happening.
They call them "USCs" — US citizens in custody.
And after Pretti was shot, they grabbed a bunch of USCs, held them in custody, not for any investigative purpose.
