The number of detainees getting put on ICE flights at MSP has been relatively low the last few days.

I believe this is not on account of ICE pulling back - they still outnumber local police in many towns - but on account of vulnerable people staying home, observer pressure, and lawyer organization.

Abolish ICE.

There’s no reforming it.

There’s no compromise.

There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

“We are all Minneapolis” is my story on our resistance. we are just a local group way out in front of the politicians who just don’t sense the life or death fight to keep our community safe. Kathleen Clark held a pathetic town hall. We go on without her

Only speaking personally, but today’s execution isn’t scaring me from protecting our neighbors, as some suggest is ICE’s goal. Nor am I angry with incandescent rage, in that I know such rage is unhelpful. Rather, I feel like it has forced me to truly accept that the same fate might befall me.

100%! Let’s do it.
After yesterday’s surrender, we’re launching the largest Democratic primary program that we’ve ever run.

We will not back any Senate primary candidate unless they call for Schumer to step down as Minority Leader.

If you’re as pissed as we are, join this campaign to rebuild the Democratic Party. 👇
Democratic leaders have failed us again. It's time to get new leaders.
After yet another capitulation by Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats, it's clear we need new leadership capable of mounting a serious opposition to Trump's authoritarian regime. We're launching our la...

Massport covers up ICE activity at Hanscom airfield. See our story at lexingtonalarm.org oversight bodies asked Massport specifically about ICE flights. They denied any knowledge.

Two weeks before they got an official email with the subject “ICE charter flights”. What is Massport hiding.

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position
He said that the agents would throw food at them to eat. The agents threatened to withhold food for a week and to beat him up if he didn't sign deportation papers. He said he saw others refuse and get beaten/receive no food. He signed because he was afraid.

"Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia" should be how Democrats begin every single comment to reporters these days.
Ruben Gallego on whether Trump is talking to Democrats:

“Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia, so I think there's a he's probably talking to himself, or think he's talking to a Democrat, but I sincerely doubt that that's actually he's actually physically talking to a Democrat.“

Stand up to Tyranny — no American troops in American cities; no rippling families apart. If you still think this is a potential future, think again. It’s now. What are you going to do about it. www.mobilize.us/lexingtonala...

@warren.senate.gov @markey.senate.gov

For God’s sake don’t cave. do you fund troops in American cities? destruction of the C.D.C.? Money for ICE to set up
perimeters at polling stations? take your head out of your collective asses and fight. don’t go simpering to Trump. Just Say No. Shut down
Yep. They’re gonna cave. They might get the ACA tax credit extensions, and point to that as proof of fighting. But the upshot will be a green light for more crime, and to insulate Republicans from the consequences of their agenda. They laid it all out in a letter. www.offmessage.net/p/schumer-an...
