@statuscoupnews.bsky.social interviewing this woman in Minneapolis right now who said she came out of her home, wearing whatever she could grab to protect herself from ICE agents. You do what you can, with what you got.

Words cannot describe how insane it is that we might strike Iran, that Europe moved troops into Greenland while Danish & Greenlandish FMs stood grim-faced after DC meeting, & that the Pentagon is sending lawyers to Minneapolis. Brought to you by the party of national security & law and order.
Breaking news: The Pentagon has begun withdrawing some U.S. troops and assets from a key base in Qatar as a precautionary measure while President Trump weighs whether to take military action against Iran, officials said.

All the whining and concern trolling about people "not doing anything?" - the feds are the ones that want war. Not ordinary people.
When the time comes to act in the face of oppression and injustice in our hometowns, even more of us will stand up next to our neighbors. 🇺🇸

"Don't fall for the bait and give them reason to institute martial law"
The martial law is already here, it's ICE, it's your local police and politicians protecting them from justice that the system can not ever provide; it's a fait accompli if you don't respond to it.

In case you’re wondering whether the pro-ICE reactions to Renee Nicole Good’s murder are natural, here’s a comment that was just left on my video. My video about anti-transgender bias at the BBC. I haven’t made a video about Good yet.

Whistles at the Renee Good Memorial in Minneapolis. The whistle has really become a sound of day to day life on the south side.
The whistles along with car horns are used to warn others of ICE or federal agents in the area.

Hey - do you guys remember that night we all stood outside and took pictures of the aurora and then we all shared them on here and everyone was commenting on everyone else’s pics and it was so amazing and many of us were brought to tears?
25 years ago, today. Pretty sure that’s how long ago it was.
