Near Lyndale and 24th Ave in Minneapolis tonight, feds have reportedly shot another person.

Preliminary info is shaky for now, hearing two people injured.

BORTAC just rolled up in an armored vehicle. A crowd is gathering outside the police tape—MPD presence as well.

Week 1. We invaded Venezuela. We killed the ACA subsidies. We destroyed the Kennedy Center. We murdered a woman in cold blood over deportations. We threatened Greenland, now we are offering them $100,000 per person to allow us to take over their country.
First 7 days. Can we survive a year of this?

Ongoing and obvious reminder that firing chemical weapons directly at people's heads like this *is* deadly force.

Hundreds of people have packed into Chicago's Thalia Hall tonight for a community listening session on CPD collaboration with ICE/CBP.

Police district councillors who gathered petition signatures required to hold tonight's hearing are opening by thanking the community for showing out.

The inaction of our elected officials to stand up to the president is driving me crazy.

Time to call our reps again! Let's keep the pressure on.

There were reports of this happening every day for weeks during peak. Our lives mean nothing to them.
One thing that was really notable to me during Operation Midway Blitz (similar to what is now happening in Minneapolis), was how often officers pointed guns at civilians. A few examples that stood out to me...

ICE has shot and killed a community observer in Minneapolis.

Sending all of my love to the people of Minneapolis and the folks defending their neighbors there. This is heinous, and I am so sorry.

To everyone else: REMEMBER ICE LIES ABOUT EVERYTHING. THIS IS DOCUMENTED.
ICE reportedly shot someone at Portland and 33/34. Mspt saying bullets, could be less lethal 20+ agents on site, MPD and ambulances responding. Helicopters overhead

This is a different Chicago vigil than the one we just attended. With hardly any notice, several happened across the city today:
Crowd size has swollen to maybe at or around a hundred or so. They plan to have some speakers for the cameras, then blow their whistles in unison at 8:00.

Years ago, an organizing crew I was part of worked to help an unhoused woman in our neighborhood get services. She was dying and qualified for a number of programs. It took a team of seven working for almost two months to secure her a warm bed to die in. Her name was Jennifer.
I know this isn’t new information but I just really gotta emphasize how goddamn difficult it is to successfully sign up for SNAP or Medicaid, even if you’re Good At Paperwork
