Update:

Katie just called me. She is being held by Homeland Security at the Whipple Federal Building down by the airport.

They have not told her anything. No word on release, no word on charges. Nothing. Ridiculous. But she is fine and in good spirits.

Her attorney is en route there right now.

Reminder that in Minnesota, you have the right to vote on the same day you register. We are not a voter ID state. You can vote if you've lived in Minnesota for 20 days and are old enough: www.sos.mn.gov/elections-vo...

Your neighbor/friend can also vouch for you.

Does anyone on here have the design skills to turn this into a poster for me that can be printed 8.5 by 11 and also blown up larger? council.nyc.gov/districts/pr... - I need to be able to create a blown up poster version of this for an ongoing organizing campaign.

If you were at the No Kings events, please wear a mask for the next few days.

Covid is not over.

You can infect others before you feel symptomatic.

People are losing their healthcare. They’re losing their food assistance. They’re losing housing.

We need to protect each other.

Happening now: at Kedzie and 40th, where Border Patrol agents just opened fire on rapid response this afternoon. A woman CFD says they found after the incident is reported in fair condition.

A growing number of outraged neighbors have gathered across from ICE/CBP agents who have closed Kedzie.

Cuomo’s base is the same as Mayor Frey’s. They prioritize corporations over working people.

Frey’s campaign isn’t about abundance. It’s about vetoing a historic city budget for workers, disinvested communities, immigrants + BIPOC residents, and unhoused residents.

Minnesota Appellate Court Watch: a major tenants' rights decision came down today. In a *precedential* opinion, the Court of Appeals ruled that (1) landlords may not lock tenants out even in cases of damage to a property, and (2) courts may award replacement housing and consequential dmgs in an ETRA

I cannot emphasize enough how brave this small group of protesters was today.

ICE showed up at Chicago’s immigration court with more agents, vehicles, and gear than they’ve ever brought in the past—spoiling for a fight.
Happening now: a small group of protesters are once again blocking ICE agents' vans outside immigration court in Chicago.

Masked agents with handcuffs are threatening activists with arrest and intimidating photographers.

Situation is tense, we'll update as we can.

The armed, yellow-vested "peacekeepers" at the Utah 50501 protest in Salt Lake City opened fire into a crowd, hitting two people:

A Sāmoan fashion designer with two young kids, who died.

A second-generation Venezuelan immigrant and antiracist protester who was legally carrying. Cops charged HIM.

This is continued journalistic malpractice from the @startribune.com normalizing a violent white male suspect. He owned a private security company called Praetorian Guard, traveled overseas to preach against abortion and LGBTQ+ people, and attended a bible college that preaches "violent prayer."
Suspect showed few signs of political extremism before lawmaker shootings
Friends and associates say Vance Boelter, who was apprehended late Sunday and charged with murdering a state lawmaker and her husband, was mild-mannered and did not appear to be fixated on politics.

The discourse about how to protest right is a distraction from what the protests are actually about: SECURITY FORCES CAME IN THE NIGHT AND TOOK 2000 PEOPLE AWAY

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

The cost of “less lethal” weapons is written on the faces of so many journalists and citizens in Minneapolis from 2020. Lost eyes, TBIs.
Wrote this in the summer of 2020, definitely a good sign to be dusting it off now.

"Less lethal" weapons are tools of colonial occupation marketed to police, and tools of police marketed to colonial soldiers. Anti-civilian weapons more than "less-lethal" www.scientificamerican.com/article/what...

I hope folks in MN recognize that we could very well be included in the scope of this order.

Be safe. Speak up.

Now Hegseth is saying that the active duty Marines at Camp Pendleton are on alert to come in if the National Guard isn’t enough.

The U.S. government is ready to unleash our own military on civilians.

It is definitely time to be frightened about what is happening here.

If you want to show solidarity with Los Angeles, the best thing to do is organize protests against ICE tonight/tomorrow in your own cities.

Search the web for ICE rapid response networks in your own city / state and sign up. Help your neighbors.
