Here's a blueprint for civil disobedience that can cause real change. Shine a big bright light on the corporations enabling this fascist regime.
Uh, protestors flash mobbing Hiltons in other parts of the country for housing ICE agents in MN is going to get that corporation to sit up and take notice.

And not only that corporation. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/27/n...

Is it safe to call them Nazi's yet?
They are grabbing and bursting testicles.

That’s sexual assault.

We already know women detainees have been raped, assaulted and in some cases sterilized.

This is sick stuff. They want to inflict maximum pain.

They’re abusers drunk on power.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

White. Hot. Rage.

This is the pink jacket lady’s angle. (From Drop Site News)

Horrific. Bovino is a stone cold liar.

Pretti wasn’t attacking officers, he had just helped a lady they assaulted and had gotten pepper sprayed.

The gun was removed by agents from his waistband - he was never pointing it at them. He was already disarmed when they fired "defensive shots," killing the man. They then fired several shots at his lifeless body.

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

We have been told for nearly 30 years that America needed to tolerate mass shootings because the broad availability of guns would help us defend ourselves from an overreaching federal government. That day has come. The people who said this are supporting the federal agents. Many have joined them.

Minneapolis Police Chief O'Hara: "The video speaks for itself. We have identified this person - 37-year-old, white male, resident of the city. The only interaction that we are aware of with law enforcement has been for traffic tickets and we believe he is a lawfully gun owner with a permit to carry"

ICE executed someone for filming them
A new video appears to show the moments leading up to a fatal shooting by federal agents in Minneapolis, with the individual appearing to simply record on his phone as agents escalated the situation.

We are searching for the woman in a red jacket who captured the ICE situation on video. We heard she was taken by federal agents. If anyone has updates, let us know.

Yes, this is what happened.
Nearly half a dozen agents wrestling one individual to the ground and then one of them just starts shooting in the dog pile, steps back and unloads on the guy on the street.

Trump's Gestapo just executed someone in the street and is threatening more violence for filming evidence of their crimes.
Very bad situation right now. ICE is either trapped or refusing to leave. Black bloc morons absolutely chomping at the bit to burn the neighborhood down, just got attacked by three of them for having a camera out. “Can’t wait to burn it all down tonight”

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!

ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.
