Elon Musk and Donald Trump think they can rule this country like kings.
House Republicans think they can steal from working families to fund billionaire tax cuts.
They all think we'll sit back and let them get away with it.
They are dead wrong: indivisibleproject.formstack.com/forms/organi...

The only way through all of this is forward. Get involved, organize your friends, hold elected officials accountable. Don’t tell me all is lost. Only the end of the world is the end of the world. Until then, the future is ours to make what we want. How hard are you willing to work?

As I’ve reported for a bit now: ICE monitoring has become increasingly common in cities targeted by DHS, with trainings often hosted in churches.
If you drive around parts of Minneapolis, you’ll find ICE watchers with whistles standing on corner after corner.
It’s not exactly a clandestine effort.

The woman killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis last week served on the board of her son’s school, which linked to documents encouraging parents to monitor ICE and directing them to training. https://cnn.it/49yoNEa

This administration doesn’t want you to see the abject cruelty that ICE is committing. That’s why they’re arresting and shooting legal observers. That’s why they hide their faces with masks.
New video shows ICE agents detaining a US citizen legal observer in Minneapolis.
The agents smashed his car window, dragged him out, and placed a knee on his neck.

People really do not understand how out of control Minneapolis is right now. I spent almost 8 hours today on the street in different parts of the city and saw everything from tear gas and pepper balls being used to fully marked ice vehicles roaming and pointing out people to camera crews onboard.
ICE is now ramming civilian cars through red lights in Minnesota. — they are tax payer agitators ‼️

This is very serious. We are committing war crimes.
Breaking NYT:
The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter.
The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status.
That is a war crime called "perfidy."

Amen. So many people here doing great work. Just one example. In the last two days, the Minnesota DFL has trained approximately 1,500 people to be constitutional observers. That's after an observer was murdered by an ICE officer. People want to be empowered.

Read the thread. Exactly correct. Safety is in numbers and not in trying to be anonymous.
I have to say, I'm a little frustrated, there are vast numbers of horrifying videos of ICE circulating privately right now, but a lot of paranoia about sharing them publicly on social media. Sharing is fairly low-risk and THE ONLY WAY the full scope of what's happening here will be understood.

What ICE/BP is doing to Minneapolis is awful.
And it's taking everything they have. By population, Minneapolis is America's 45th largest city.
Keep both in mind at once: the regime's desire for authoritarian domination is bottomless, and they'll act on it, but their capacity to do so is limited.

-Halt fin’l regs

Without causing a major financial crash.
