This post is blowing up, so for all the big name journos sharing it, some context:

This was a rally in Chicago explicitly calling for ICE to be abolished, and for a mass general strike to counter the Trump admin's continous attacks on our communities and civil liberties.
It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall.

But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”

That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Vance and Trump learned from Renee Good’s murder and have pushed their messaging toward fraud in Minnesota and Tim Walz being the “real reason” for the protests, avoiding saying much about Alex Pretti.

Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem have continued lying straight to our face.

there’s something someone far more poetic than me can do with their names being Pretti (pretty) and Good. i don’t know what it is but i hope we find it

Reminder: if you experience trauma (including watching a video of it) playing Tetris can help reduce PTSD symptoms!
“those who had played Tetris had fewer intrusive memories of the trauma in total over the week immediately following the accident than the controls.”

A single dose psychological intervention, which includes using the computer game Tetris, can prevent the unpleasant, intrusive memories that develop in some people after suffering a traumatic event.

From this moment forward (and before, but clearly now):

-If you work for ICE.
-If you vote for money for ICE.

You are complicit. This is the gestapo. You're on the wrong side. You can't pretend not to know.

They wheeled this Nazi asshole into court in a wheelchair and he was still trying to hide his face in shame 76 years after World War II ended. That's the kind of commitment I'm looking for.

We don’t have a federal system, where state govt’s have separate sovereign powers, so that the governors of those states can plead with the President to call off his death squads.

Extrajudicial killing is simply murder. Murder is a crime in Minnesota. The State of Minnesota can—MUST—address it.
I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.

The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

"Fourth graders spent the week building walls of snow at recess to protect their classmates from ICE."
My daughter's school in Richfield, MN (adjacent to Minneapolis) is closing tomorrow due of out-of-control federal agents. Fourth graders spent the week building walls of snow at recess to protect their classmates from ICE. This isn't about immigration enforcement, it's about terror.

i’m so tired of being right. i was just struck with the memory of a year ago when my brother told me i was delusional for being afraid of exactly what we’re living through now—concentration camps, government surveillance, door to door round ups, etc. i don’t know what to do but im fucking terrified

So, correct me if I’m wrong, but all you have to do to abduct a woman now is dress in camo, cover your face and have a gun and we have to submit or risk death? How are we supposed to know if you’re ICE or not?

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.
In the video that the shooter took, which I believe was leaked to be exculpatory, he appears to yell “fucking bitch” after he shoots Renee Good.

If you are interacting with LEO of any kind at a protest or action, say nothing except:

- If you're in a stop and ID state, identify yourself as required.

- Ask if you're being detained or if you're free to leave. If you're free to leave, LEAVE.

Do NOT argue with the cop about their probable cause. Let your lawyer do that later, it's what we're there for.

- DO say "I INVOKE MY RIGHTS TO SILENCE AND COUNSEL AND WILL NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS WITHOUT MY ATTORNEY PRESENT." And then SHUT UP.

do you know how fucking pissed off minnesotans need to be to NOT help someone push their car out of the ditch? This is the midwest equivalent of banishing this ICE agent to hell
This morning in Minneapolis, an ICE vehicle got stuck on an icy hill in a residential neighborhood. Agents had to push the vehicles out, some almost slipping in the ice themselves.

Maduro was a dictator.

But let's not pretend Trump cares about democracy.

He cozies up to dictators all over the world when it suits him.

Trump has been clear: he wants Venezuela’s oil.

That’s not democracy. That’s imperialism.
