If you are hungry right now in metro Lansing, Michigan, here's a resource you might not have considered:

We have a network of tiny free pantries.

CADL Okemos & Haslett each have one, because libraries are awesome and CADL is the best.

But there are others around the area. Here is a map:

They would gladly kill you and slander you despite overwhelming evidence and footage and eyewitnesses that it was murder.

This isn’t something that elections will fix. It’s going to take a massive reformation and these criminals will have to be punished.

There an unconfirmed ICE alert for my kids' elementary school today at about 3:00pm and asking for parents to come as observers for pickup from the PTA. The PTA.

On about 30 minutes notice there was probably 20 parents and neighbors there to keep them away from the kids, based on a rumor.

States can create citizen militias independent of the National Guard. I’d like to see governors and state legislators think creatively about that power when it comes to monitoring federal agents operating in their state, particularly if they don’t trust police forces to do so.

Oh sorry, I haven’t been online that much tonight, I’ve been forced to help organize a safety patrol at my kid’s daycare, because ICE stopped by today.

Dems: get up out of your fucking defensive crouch and fight back, it still makes a difference in the coverage

as I was saying earlier today, if all you can really do is yell, the quality of the yelling has to be better

it was today, and it’s helped

keep calling these people what they are
There's honestly been some pretty good news coverage tonight on TV regarding today's events. It's not a coincidence.

Like half a dozen prominent Democrats finally came out this afternoon and said ICE is terrorist trash led by a secretary who should be impeached and it flipped the whole narrative.

We don’t need to compare what happened in Minneapolis to Nazi Germany. We can compare it to what has happened in Minneapolis before.

all you will ever know for sure is that they will keep doing a bunch of weird illegal shit all at the same time until something stops them, and all you can do about it is find a front you can fight them on and fight them on it

the more resources they spend dealing with you the less they have

Look at the hundreds of people in that community in Minneapolis who ran TOWARDS the danger. Look at those who documented in their heads what happened so they could accurately recount it afterwards, look at those currently out protesting. Pay attention & do your part too.

In response to the murder of Renee Good, every U.S. state can and must pass a version of the Illinois Bivens Act, allowing anyone to sue a person who violates constitutional rights during civil immigration enforcement.

Call your STATE legislators. Explainers:

Remember when the cops left Mike Brown dead in the street for over 4 hours in the hot sun after Darren Wilson killed him and the NYT informed its readers that "he was no Angel?"
“.. they carried her body out, just like by her limbs, they didn’t even have a stretcher," Heller said. "She was carried out like a sack of potatoes."

“This was horrific and will change my life forever,” she said. “I feel so scared."

This is probably going to demand a depressing amount of repetition, but here goes.

If Renee Nicole Good was a childless foreign national, its still wasn't OK for a federal employee to straight up execute her. Begging everyone to not concede one inch of ground to this toxic framing.
The victim has been identified as 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good, a US citizen and the mother of a small child.

Excellent, clarifying piece on the (real) legal pathway that Minnesota has to prosecute the ICE agent who shot and killed a woman today.

No, federal agents do not have absolute immunity from start charges, no matter what the Trump administration claims.
Wrote a piece for @slate.com explaining that states have a long history of prosecuting federal officers when they allegedly use excessive force. Federal officers are only immune from such prosecutions when they act reasonably in carrying out lawful duties.
Minnesota Could Prosecute the ICE Shooter. Trump Can’t Pardon Him.
Shortly after an ICE officer shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis, city leaders began looking into whether the officer had violated state criminal law.

And this is one place those of us with young kids *can* be helpful: advocating for our preschools and daycares to have precautions around ICE intrusion, and helping organize those precautions.

There are vulnerable workers, parents, and kids that need us.
I'm seeing where CBP were literally trying to break into schools and daycares today as well. Quite literally coming for people's children...

And I will remind everyone (because I have to remind myself a lot) that there are moments in life where caring for vulnerable others is the work, even if usually you'd be in the street.

Support where you can, protect those you can.
It's OK if you need to log off to read a book or take a walk or listen to music or watch something nice or eat some carbs or whatever you need. You can't help if you're totally burned out. Keeping yourself well cared for will help you care for others.

Every second the murderer is not arrested is another second for feds to hide him in a place that would create a jurisdictional fight. He's on video killing a person. You have to arrest this guy an hour ago, but you might still have time now.

This glib statement is all the more risible when you recall how many law enforcement officers used their vehicles as weapons against protesters in 2020... and how many Republican-dominated states *sought to legalize killing protesters with vehicles* as a reaction to the demonstrations
Noem: "People need to stop using their vehicles as weapons ... it's clear that it's being coordinated. People are being trained"

A cop shot a person three times point blank and instead of the streets being deserted. They filled with people yelling at the cops [who could have shot them too].

Renee Nicole Good, 37, was murdered four fifths of a mile from where George Perry Floyd, Jr., 46, was murdered in May of 2020.
I want the media to understand just how close what happened today is to where George Floyd was murdered. 0.8 miles.

ICE killed a member of our community today. ICE showed up at my kid’s daycare today. ICE is bragging about the number of families they’ve torn apart in a matter of days, and promising that their campaign of terror isn’t done.
