Even if you're solidly Team Come At Me Bro, I'm Doing Nothing Illegal with the feds -- there are right-wing assholes who've "infiltrated" Signal chats, don't make it easy for them to send you 200 pizzas and a SWAT team. Use a pseud on Signal!
Use separate cars for rapid response and mutual aid. That one really is important
Don’t use your full legal name as your Signal display name. Assume your Signal chats are public & don’t talk about crimes or share sensitive info you wouldn’t want screenshotted by a reporter or read out loud in court

As others have aptly pointed out, police forces have been murdering people for a long time, especially POC. This terrorism from ICE is only a continuation and newest version of what we have been seeing for a long time.

Do not fall for this garbage. DHS came into my city with an offensive posture, conducted itself as an invader, often attacked residents without any plausible connection to immigration enforcement, violently seized people off the streets. Now it’s our fault people died?

Seriously though, if you have people in Minnesota they are probably not okay. Cut them all the slack. Send them pizza and brownies (actually donate to rent relief funds).
(I feel like we're all doing a great job at cutting each other slack for the most part to the point it's kind of heartwarming.)

A number of responders were quite opposed to the idea of giving ridealongs to The Atlantic (I understand their frustration with the outlet).
But I drove these guys around for two hours and they witnessed abductions, confrontations with the public, tear-gassings.
The lesson: let the world see.

Prospect Park, Home 2 Suites by Hilton. Protesters banging trash cans, pots and pans. Broke a window. Looked like one MPD officer casually holding them at bay in lobby until a Federal Bureau of Prisons team arrived and let loose with gas, smoke, less lethal rounds.
Minneapolis, MN -
After FPS agents went into the hotel, shot teargas and kinetic munitions into the crowd assembled outside he wanted to know where the PD is to the press. I asked if he has a message for the community members that wanted out. No response. None to the mayor either.

We had to put up with school shootings because "the 2nd Amendment"
But watch ICE eliminate the right to bear arms by executing anyone they find with a gun and to hell with the 2nd Amendment.
ICE will soon be killing citizens in their own homes because they're scared there might be a gun inside.

The formula here is a lot simpler than finding an old hippie.
If you want to organize ICE Watch or grocery distributions, Signal is fine.
If you want to organize the kind of thing where even discussing it is a crime, in person only, in extremely small groups where you trust every single person.
