Feliz Navidad 🎄

We have every indication that ICE will continue their assault even on Christmas Eve.

If you're going out AT ALL tonight, 5 minutes to the gas station, or clear across town...please check in. Please stay vigilant. Let's make sure our neighbors wake up at home tomorrow. 🎁

So I have the cover story in next month's TNR.

I interviewed the heads of police groups; immigration defense attorneys, ex-judges and ex-prosecutors; former DOJ and DHS officials, and the former head of Border Patrol.

They're all horrified at what we've seen, and they all fear what's coming.
Trump’s Immigration Nightmare: It Is Happening Here

The president was accused of multiple rapes of 14 year old girls as well as multiple murders of their babies and we’re all just acting like it doesn’t matter because CBS and CNN haven’t weighed in yet.

Thank you to everyone giving until it hurts, making sacrifices & tough choices in order to support people who aren't safe & secure. Thank you to this who have done so for years. Thank you to those just starting. Thank you to those adjusting to give more than ever. Thank you for giving small amounts.

It’s day 21 of the ICE invasion of the Twin Cities.

We are tired, but we are determined.

And we know that together, we are building the world we want to live in. A world that celebrates our community in all its diversity, and treasures our immigrant neighbors.

The CBS 60 Minutes Doc confirms what we knew: The U.S. is currently using our tax dollars to imprison brown people with no criminal record in torture camps overseas.

It’s no wonder administration shill Bari Weiss pulled this off the air: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjY7...

@klobuchar.senate.gov Do not vote for this. Don't you dare vote for this.

Minnesota has become known as a safe place for trans folks. Are you going to prove the state legislators wrong? Are you going to endanger all of Minnesota's hard working doctors who provide this care?
Breaking: House Republicans pass Marjorie Taylor Greene's bill to criminalize doctors that provide gender-affirming care for trans kids. Her bill imposes jail time penalties up to 10 years. Now, it's headed to the Senate where it is not likely to advance as it would need 7 Democrats to sign on

Across the country, the US Department of Justice is issuing sweeping demands and filing bad-faith lawsuits seeking unredacted voter files from states and local jurisdictions. This is unacceptable. Private voter data is not a political weapon. www.lwv.org/newsroom/pre...

They are people with sordid histories of domestic violence, previous arrests, etc., who are paid to terrorize and brutalize innocent people while hiding their identities, who collect benefits those they abduct aren't eligible for, and who suffer no consequences for illegal acts/excessive force.

It's time to move past the narrative that the masked ICE agents aren't ICE agents but bounty hunters cosplaying as ICE. They are people who willingly signed up to abduct people and collect a government paycheck.

Greg Bovino is back in Chicago, and ICE has been spotted in the Evanston area.

The best way to keep our loved ones safe is to alert the community whenever possible. Whistles are one of the most accessible tools to warn neighbors and disrupt ICE incursions.

Come pick up a whistle, if you need one!

The typical ice agent is a barely trained 20 something whose whole world was 4chan three months ago before they found camaraderie with a bunch of other racist human mistakes.

They do not know anything. They have no discipline. They argue and antagonize local people for no reason. It's baffling

Barbara Rose Johns was 16 when she led a walkout at her high school, credited with helping end school segregation. Her statue replaces Robert E. Lee's, which was removed in 2020.
Her 1951 walkout helped end school segregation. Now her statue is in the U.S. Capitol

An ICE agent in Minneapolis pinned a pregnant woman’s face into the snow and knelt on her body.

She was also dragged across the pavement by her wrist.
