This article is a very good example of why "more training" and "more vetting" isn't the answer. Jesus Ochoa and Raymundo Gutierrez joined Border Patrol in 2018 and 2014 respectively. These aren't new agents. www.propublica.org/article/alex...

When they defeat ICE, Minnesota will have 34,000 trained volunteers to observe the police
More than 34,000 Minnesotans signed up to be trained as ICED observers with various activist groups in recent weeks, many of them since Jan. 7, when a federal agent shot and killed Renée Good.
Thousands of new ICE watchers hit the streets after two killings
Minnesotans outraged by the killings of Renée Good and Alex Pretti have signed up in large numbers to monitor and protest ICE with other activists.

Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept."

Astonishing thing for a judge to do.

Things are scary in the near term and yet this is the most hopeful about the long term I've felt in quite a while.

“been through a lot”
Minnesotans, we’ve been through a lot.

And I believe this moment calls for grit, resilience, and faith in each other.

I believe we must stand up for what’s right. And fix what’s wrong.

Today, I’m announcing my candidacy for Governor. youtu.be/SiV3xVkX-kg

The things we are seeing daily feel like a horror movie, but this is not fiction. It’s a new terrifying reality. Trump’s DHS mob are killing US citizens, taking kids from their schools & terrorizing hard working immigrants. We need you to DEMAND ACTION. act.seiu.org/a/do_not-fun...

americans hate it when they're shown on tv doing something cool
TOM HOMAN: “We’re going to create a database where those people that are arrested for interference, impeding and assault, we’re going to make them famous. We’re going to put their face on TV. We’re going to let their employers, in their neighborhoods, in their schools, know who these people are.”

Sincerely love that the chuds think this is all based on folks in Minnesota reading the works of Uncle Ho, rather than being built on the same social structures that organize the annual spaghetti fundraiser
MAGA military geniuses are talking about Minnesota protestors like they are the Iraqi insurgency, the Taliban, and the Viet Cong all rolled into one.

Reflecting on THE atlantic article. It’s a searing, enraging, heartbreaking piece but more than that - it should be comforting to good people, and scary for bad guys.

I believe that we can protect our neighbors when the violence comes, and I know there are more of us than there are of them

Liam himself is five goddamned years old and should be at home with an adult he trusts right now no matter who his parents are. It would not matter if they were literal criminal masterminds, Liam Ramos is a baby and babies do not belong in prison.
Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days.

His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

Bro is crashing out in full tactical gear outside the lobby entrance of a Home2Suites and gave himself a bloody nose by gassing himself because of a noise demonstration.
Minneapolis, MN -

Very developing situation here. FPS agents ran into the hotel. Tear gas deployed. Hotel patrons forced to put their hands up. One agent’s nose bloodied.
