We have ~15 separate radio dispatches, one for each neighborhood, and dozens more for the suburbs/Saint Paul. Each dispatch/monitoring channel contains somewhere between 500 and 2000 people. At any given time there are probably a dozen mobile patrols and 100 on-foot observers in each neighborhood.
Does Minneapolis have a radio dispatch set up for the people who are following ICE? That's brilliant.
alright here you go

Congress can stop ICE. Congress can block the use of force in Greenland. In other words, in this crisis, Congress can act to support civil liberties at home and free nations abroad. To fail to act would be to be complicit in a dreadful outcome.

This is the kind of shit that would make you completely outside the bounds of any ancient society, the gods bestow generational curses for violating hospitality
A few days ago, Fox News was whining about ICE agents getting heckled at a Mexican restaurant in Minneapolis.
Meanwhile, in the town of Willmar, ICE agents had lunch at a Mexican restaurant, waited until it closed, then confronted and arrested three workers as they left.

Greg Bovino was seen earlier today at the Minneapolis ICE facility dressed in a very nazi-inspired outfit. They don’t even hide anymore.

“Trump officials tell @zeteo.com that many in the administration “would not mind it,” if some protesters reacted to the president’s Minnesota siege with significant violence – if only so Trump… could invoke the Insurrection Act, and order a full-on military invasion of the city.”
Trump has deployed ICE on militarized invasions of blue cities for months. They’re only getting more violent.
Now, ten days after ICE murdered a woman on video, Democratic elites are very concerned that anyone might say, “Abolish ICE.”

I think about this all the time.
I've been trying to understand what's happening in the US and the endgame. If the goal is to deport or kill 242 million people to create a country with only 100 million people, the things the Trump administration is doing make perfect sense.

Trump says he’s adding a 10% tariff to all the countries that sent troops to defend Greenland against an American invasion, increasing to 25% in June if he’s not allowed to buy Greenland.
