This thread is a heartbreaking, enraging, and informative read.
I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it.
I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.”

I have nothing to add to this, just want to make sure it's visible.
My commute home from work is littered with abandoned cars. Just sitting there, in the middle of the road. Windows broken out. Lives scooped up and taken away. Just like that.

This is going to end up on my shitlist right next to that photo of the Everlake Apartments, isn't it
Reasons not to repost this:
Pic doesn't have alt text.
There's greenery in the background - so definitely not a recent pic from Minnesota.
There is no source for the claim being made.
Check the profile - this person doesn't live in Minneapolis or MN.
This person doesn't interact on here.

I’m on the scene at Franklin and 1st. A convoy of about a couple dozen ICE/HSI agents broke the entryway into an apartment building at 6am. No warrant presented. Less than 24 hours ago, Tom Homan announced the end of large convoys in Minnesota… Bullshit.

Is there any kind of database for presumed/confirmed ICE abduction victims? I noticed a car that's been parked in the same weird way for at least 24 hours now. If there's a way to notify their family/friends of its location without involving the cops, that would be nice.

It's 10:30pm, are you harassing your representatives?
Left a vm with the Klob telling her to abolish ICE and release detainees and if she wants my vote for governor she had better convince me that she's different from a Republican.
Smith's vm full.
Omar will go down swinging, did not call her.

It's the worst that it's been since the last time it happened
It's happening again right in front of our eyes
There's updated footage, wild speculation
Tall tales and hearsay and absolute lies
(It's about George Floyd, but... not exactly irrelevant now)

Yeah, pretty much where I'm at right now.
Why would we leave? They're the ones that suck.
People worried for my safety asking earnestly if I think I want to move out of Minneapolis.
Hell no.
We stand our ground. Because it doesn’t stop with us. Infection spreads. You cannot run from it.

Minneapolis house dwellers: shovel out your garage bins in the alley while it's warm! This morning almost all of the bins in my alley were still behind the plow berm, and the poor sanitation workers were pulling individual bags out of them. (They're a lot more dedicated than I am.)

As a former welder (different trade now but still weld sometimes) from Minnesota, this Amber Czech thing is really getting to me... especially since I used to go out of my way to encourage other women to get into the trades.
Fucking awful.

Great day at the fair yesterday. Had fun with a friend I don't see in person enough. A stranger gave me a coupon for deep fried cheesecake. And, best of all, we got to watch a calf being born, AND the front row of spectators get splashed. Truly a high point of my life.
