As we strolled outside
my friend unzipped his coat
and with a sigh declared:
“I can’t decide if
the world is crashing down,
or if it’s gorgeous out today,”
to which I replied:
“the world is crashing down,
and it’s gorgeous out today,”
and in response
my friend just sighed again.

Unauthorized immigrants have a variety of legal statuses which let them stay in the country: asylum, refugee, temporary protected, parole. Until now, they could live in the community while waiting (sometimes years) for adjudication. Miller & co. have ended that, requiring detention for everyone.

Just understood: Many immigrants are LEGAL, but not citizens: they have asylum cases, parole, or other LEGAL status. Trump decided that instead of leaving them in the community, detain them until cases decided: there’s a 7-year backup—3 million cases. It’s an excuse to build concentration camps.

The people who are telling you they are withdrawing ICE from Minnesota are the same people who told you a year ago they would release the Epstein Files in full.
They are not to be trusted. They are allergic to truth and incapable of decency.

Good look into the history of immigration controls used to suppress free speech.
Both Democrats and Republicans helped create the infrastructure for ideological surveillance at the US border—but the Trump administration is deploying it in the service of a radically partisan and censorial agenda. www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

NEW: Hundreds of judges around the country have ruled more than 4,400 times since October that President Donald Trump’s administration is detaining immigrants unlawfully, a Reuters review of court records found.

DHS and ICE ignore court orders, moving immigrants across state lines to concentration camps where they are tortured. The immigrants are entitled to hearings on their detention, but the regime just disappears them to Texas, *after* being ordered not to by a judge. The business end of fascism.
I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it.

So the Republicans have hitched themselves to a demented king and operational Nazis who are building concentration camps. Does the whole party expect to never leave power? Are they really all in? All the way to cancelled elections and massacres? Is there no one to say “no further?”

Rapid response and mutual aid are two sides of the same coin. One is the front line, the other is civil defense.

long-term, i think the mass mobilization and mutual aid ppl are building here should terrify republicans and establishment dems alike. creating a dual-power mechanism like this in a time of mass instability can preclude something much bigger than a midterm vote, especially when you're not doing shit

The ICE killings in Minneapolis evoke Selma but the day-to-day tactics in Minneapolis remind me of the Birmingham Bus Boycott: a grinding, continuous, citywide and logistically demanding effort of non-cooperation over months to break an unjust status quo.
A manager for the Immigrant Defense Network told MPR News that back in November, 2,500 people were trained as constitutional observers. Now, the total is nearly 30,000 trained observers in 77 of Minnesota's 87 counties.

This is important because it’s the first sign of Republicans in Congress moving to exercise their powers of oversight. Maybe there is some respect for law remaining in some Republicans, amidst the rancid MAGA crowd of sycophants.
