If I had one thing I wish I could get people to understand it's that a huge portion of US voters don't really have a consistent, coherent political ideology. They treat voting like a Sizzler buffet. They'll try something that seems like it might be good and if they dislike it, just stop 1/3

If you are walking or biking alone and you are of color, *do not take Lake or 31st Streets*. Also stay off Nicollet. If you are an observer on these streets on foot or bicycle, be aware that ICE could stop and try to roust you also. Buddy up whenever possible.

Can confirm I have personally seen three attempts just today of agents in a convoy of ICE vehicles trying to snatch random POCs along Central Ave - and then being chased off by neighbors with whistles. It's blatant racial profiling.

Minneapolis city council member says POC should stay home:
Dear neighbor,

HIGH ALERT‼️ If you are vulnerable to deportation please stay home today. I’m sorry to say this but it’s not safe to be outside. ICE is tearing families apart.

Children of immigrants please keep your family safe.

The Supreme Court only cleared the way for Kavanaugh Stops four months ago and ICE now openly engages in violent racial profiling, snatching anyone who looks non-white and treating them as presumptively guilty of a crime. Remarkable how quickly our liberties can be crushed when courts go along.

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness.

You could be next.

@searchlightinst.bsky.social and Blas Nuñez-Neto are fucking wrong. Over half the country already agrees with the idea of abolishing ICE. Fuck these think tanks and flaccid navel gazers who take a check and never leave their houses to face armed State terrorist

We have a masked secret police force going door-to-door attempting to kidnap brown people; one government agency is publicly daydreaming about deporting 100 million people. It's not crazy or extreme to notice.

ICE just shot a mom in the face and then cut another woman’s seatbelt and dragged her out of a smashed car window as she tried to get to her doctor appointment, and Senate Republicans are holding a hearing on the supposed dangers of the abortion pill.
Morning ☕️

The Senate HELP committee is holding a hearing this AM on the "dangers" of mifepristone. Mife has been safely & effectively used by millions since the FDA approved it in 2000, but we likely won't hear about that today.

Ford has caved to MAGA pressure and suspended TJ Sabula, the auto worker who called Trump a “pedophile protector” to his face today.

“I don’t feel as though fate looks upon you often — and when it does, you better be ready to seize the opportunity,” Sabula said.

There you have it; the Trump admin allows ICE lawyer James Rodden to stay on the job. His personal social media account praised Hitler, supported white nationalism, and said that America started going downhill the day that Lincoln was elected.
BREAKING: James Rodden, an ICE prosecutor who the Observer identified last year as the operator of an X account that posted “America is a White nation," “‘Migrants’ are all criminals,” and apparent praise of Adolf Hitler, appeared to be back at work Tuesday.
