Last night the people of LA rose up and stormed the concentration camp in their city. They pushed back the fascist gestapo forces and barricaded the doors in the face of an onslaught of tear gas and pepper spray.

Shit is nuts. This week I spoke to a crim. defense attorney from mpls who mostly does federal work. He said a client got arrested with 19 pounds of meth & an indictment was coming. Then the feds had to forgo the indictment because they don’t have the resources. Walking away from 19 pounds of meth!
They are running out of lawyers.
DM me? We used to get hundreds of highly qualified applicants for a single job posting. Good prosecutors are increasingly hesitant to work for this DOJ.

Since it’s Friday… I’m not saying that you should be “afraid” of getting arrested. I’m saying that you should avoid arrest if possible. Things become much more difficult for you when you’re in police custody. This is solid movement advice thats been passed down from generations of rad lawyers. STFU!
When going out to protest, the goal shouldn’t be to get arrested. Do not run yourself into arrests. Do not just hand yourself over to the state.

Boycotts are necessary! Big protests are necessary! Economic blackouts are necessary! Workers calling out sick or taking time off to support these causes is necessary! Mutual aid is BEYOND necessary! But they are not strikes.

When it comes to the Border Patrol, Border Chronicle cofounder, Todd Miller, literally wrote the book. "Border Patrol Nation" back in 2014. He predicted much of this. And his piece today highlights what the media and others are missing now. It's a must read🦂
Border Patrol Nation?
For decades, the Border Patrol has operated with extraconstitutional powers along the U.S.-Mexico divide. Now it’s leading the charge in U.S. cities across the country.

People keep talking about how decentralized the resistance is in MN, and yes there is no singular figure, committee, or group coordinating all things. That's very different than there being no structures (plural), groups (plural), or leaders (plural) keeping things going and building things further.

I once met a guy at the border who had come to America, rather than Europe which was closer to where he’d fled, in part because of the way he heard Bruce Springsteen talk about it. I think about that guy a lot, I’m sure he’s happy to hear the boss has his back.
I've heard enough: Bruce Springsteen has just given us the single best traditional protest song written in my lifetime. It is a beautiful tribute to the anger, the tenacity, & the simple hope that ICE can end that Minneapolis has shown the world in the past two months

News Movement posted this video of Alex Pretti on Jan 13, showing him spitting at ICE agents and kicking their taillight.
Now conservatives are suggesting this changes things.
That would mean they are suggesting he deserved to be target of an extrajudicial execution.
The video changes nothing.
