Radical left lunatic. (100% communist lunatic, I guess?) LGBTQIA+ rights are human rights. Healthcare is a human right. Black lives matter. Abortion is healthcare. Never Forget 1/6. #ALLY

In 2006, a boy was kidnapped from his school by the state of WI, never to return home again. There is ABSOLUTELY NO EVIDENCE of his guilt; much evidence of his INNOCENCE. It's long past time to #FreeBrendanDassey #BringBrendanHome

All the analyses seem to be missing this.

If the admin's strategic goal was to break public resistance to immigration enforcement activities, it was a tactical mistake to go to the Twin Cities.

It is the misfortune of Minnesota’s ICE contingent to have invaded the state with the second-highest levels of social trust, trailing only Utah. Many activist networks were formed in 2020; we are seeing, Petrus says, Minnesotans call upon the “muscle memory” of the George Floyd protests. In mid-January, a neighborhood organization for a part of town called Whittier put out a call for a meeting to organize a “Neighborhood ICE response”; more than 800 people showed up at the local elementary school and formed a tidy line extending well beyond the door. (“Why a line?” I ask someone later. “Because we are in Minnesota,” he says.) In the cafeteria, in their big coats, adults struggled to get their legs through benches attached to long lunch tables. Because there were too many Minnesotans to fit in a single room, officials and parents and teachers went room to room giving the same speeches about how to help neighbors in hiding. They then gridded out the rooms, dividing the neighborhood into smaller subdivisions. Close neighbors met one another (“Oh, you live on the other side of the museum”) and formed hyperlocal Signal groups. At the first sighting of an agent, someone could ping the group and draw them outside. Their favored tactic was noise. They would make it impossible for ICE to conduct raids in secret.

YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

The GOP fascists are doing everything in their power to make The Resistance look and feel like a small cadre of deluded fringe folks.

They have cowed legacy media into collaborating and withholding reports of any dissension.

Don’t be discouraged.
Don’t be fooled.
Raise your voices.
Let the world know.

Sunday, at least 7 ICE agents stormed a house and took an elderly man out into the freezing cold, wearing only his underwear and a blanket.

He was a member of the Hmong community, which came to the area from Laos in the 1970s after siding with the US in the Vietnam War.
