I need people to wrap their minds around the fact that here in Minneapolis, ICE broke the window of a vehicle yesterday, pepper sprayed the occupants, and arrested them, and shot another observer in the face today, and OBSERVERS ARE STILL GOING OUT TO PROTECT THEIR NEIGHBORS AT MASSIVE PERSONAL RISK
I’m eating lunch, I’m having a panic attack, I’m charging my phone, and then I’m going back out to try and keep my neighborhood safe.

Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.

1. Federal agents from ICE and other agencies are wrongly detaining U.S. citizens, sometimes detaining them for days, on suspicion that they are undocumented immigrants.
The raids are done without search warrants or other procedures designed to protect civil liberties.

it will never not be wild to me that there are actual human people walking around our neighborhood streets dressed just like this I think we need to continue to remind our brains that this is extremely not normal
Earlier this morning around 10:15, ICE agents were spotted near Howard and Greenview in Rogers Park. It doesn't appear they arrested anyone, and they quickly left the area.

Amid morale problems, DC National Guard commander issued a message of gratitude to troops' families this weekend:
"I know you wish your Guardsman was home with you, enjoying a barbecue or watching a football game, but ... your Guardsman is part of something historic."

The media debates the EFFECTIVENESS of Trump’s crimes rather than the fact that they are crimes. It’s insane.
It’s as if an NBA player brought a knife on the court and the analysis was about the effectiveness of his stabbing playing defense.

The idea that President can negotiate/dictate bilateral “deals” by using the full force of the federal government to punish and humiliate his perceived enemies goes against the whole idea of the rule of law. That should be the story, rather than normalizing this authoritarian behavior.
