My kid is half black and looks Hispanicish and if ICE rolls up to try and take him I will probably end up a casualty abd I have to log off because pictures of Liam, 4, being arrested for brown are fucking everywhere as they should be and nobody is arresting the assholes that kidnapped that child.

If we do not stop the change of climate, the change of climate will stop us instead.

At some point most of ICE will either run this country or be in jail. There is no third option.

I have read the gospels a faor few times, and I find it hard to believe Christ would approve incarcerating toddlers and babies and in fact said something about a millstone about harming children. ICE agents should just quit en masse. Walk away. Join the protestors.

Yesterday I tried to sign up for training to be an ICE observer in St. Paul.
All the classes were booked to capacity.
That's how great the Twin Cities are.

This thread is a good one for strength and encouragement to keep up the good fight everywhere.

I got in late last night. First thing this morning, I saw cars following an ice vehicle down the street, honking at it.
Later, we didn't drive more than three blocks before we found people defending a childcare facility. (The idea that people have to defend a childcare facility... let that sink in)

At some point the artists will be begging for sales for their books so we can help out friends and family trying to escape the secret police. what the hell, America? praying for the babies in literal concentration camps tonight. Hint: if you are locking babies in jail YOU ARE THE BAD GUY

Like American health insurance requires so many phone calls and phone trees just to get basic services. It’s harrowing. like most humans I would rather manually cancel my credit card than try to cancel a membership requiring a phone call and conversation with a human. Now make it life or death maybe

The trains with ghosts installed in their software were fine for a while, but they developed quirks. for instance, one freight liner seemed to start pulling birds along. They’d follow it up and down the line: all kinds of birds. Techs found out the train spoke to them. it was lonely. #scifi

Our children will talk about ICE the same way we talk about NAZIS and the GESTAPO.

Just so people outside of MN know - a lot of the US citizens getting “arrested” by ICE never get processed at Whipple. They are roughed up during the arrest and then often dropped off miles from where they were picked up. It means we don’t know the true scale of what ICE is doing based on ICE stats

Whenever I spent time on normie platforms (your threads, your Facebook), I become more and more convinced that a large part of our problem as a nation is the literacy crisis. People have trouble with basic reasoning. They can't follow very simple logic or compound sentences. It's disturbing.

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

Why is congress allowing the Twin Cities to be put under siege because of their own escalations? Even the GOP bootlic must understand what happens to fascist apologists when the nearly 90 year old lunatic in charge loses his reign.

Decades of STEM focus and teaching to the tests at schools across this country and the end of leisure have decimated the inner life of our country, making us more susceptible to autocracy. Freedom comes from grasping nuance at scale.

If you told people ten years ago Denmark would be doing military maneuvers to prevent the American Invasion of Greenland, they would put you on the crazy pills because you’d sound like a lunatic.
