Am now thinking of just sending these articles to my dad every day. Just open up texts, send him a new piece about how ICE is failing, and then blocking him again.
Several of the 13 “worst of the worst” criminals that the Department of Homeland Security said were arrested in Minnesota through its immigration enforcement operation were actually handed over to ICE by state prisons before Operation Metro Surge began.
Some criminals ICE takes credit for arresting were already in Minnesota prisons

Raoul Wallenberg ended up saving so many Jewish people from the Nazis because he understood the power a yelling white man with an authoritative voice had over fascists.
ICE seems to get completely flummoxed when they’re being yelled at by white men over 35. They kind of put their heads down and shuffle their feet. It’s like their kryptonite.

Miller’s miscalculation - the logic of a privileged and sheltered brat - is that violence would pull white folks away from black and brown folks, when in fact it’s done the opposite. And now America’s other cities also know how to face him.
Terror is essential to Miller's project. It's designed to dissuade us from showing solidarity with the immigrants getting removed. Stand in the way of ethnic cleansing and you risk violence yourself.

This has long been an issue with TSA and CBP not recognizing or even knowing about tribal ID, and the racist paramilitary goons of ICE are making an already bad situation worse

I can't trust politicians who are anti-trans. Not because I'm "only searching for perfection" which is what centrists will be accusing me of for the rest of my life, it's because if you're not pro-trans you'll be garbage on lots of other issues too. Being anti-trans NEVER exists in a vacuum.

A little-known aspect of the Underground Railroad was that it involved an intricate and secret network of white people running safe houses and transportation--at a time when slavecatchers roamed the "free" states looking for runaways.
This is an Underground Railroad style operation. This is what I mean that we should study UR history, tactics, and strategy.

This is your reminder that Hungarian-Jewish scientist George de Hevesy dissolved two Nobel Prizes in aqua regia to keep them out of the hands of the Nazis.
He then left the dissolved solution on his shelf and fled to Sweden.
(After the war he un-dissolved the gold and the prizes were re-cast.)

these are internal checkpoints by secret police for what is routine freedom of movement.

It’s been reported locally, but I’m not sure how much national notice this has gotten. As part of this invasion by shithead goons, they are putting ICE agents in jetbridges and other parts of the airport at Minneapolis-Saint Paul. If you are flying Delta via MSP, you are putting yourself at risk.
