I am already seeing "it's a distraction!" takes and please fucking kill me

Dozens of U.S. strikes on Iran. Dunno what to say now other than my thoughts are with the Iranian civilians under fire. What a nightmare.

The Kids Trump Sent to ICE’s Dilley Detention Center ProPublica went inside the immigrant detention center for families in Dilley, Texas. Children held there told us about the anguish of being ripped from their lives in the United States and the fear of...

Some children in Dilley were so distraught they cut themselves or talked about suicide, parents told ProPublica.

They said kids lost their appetites after finding worms and mold on their food, had trouble sleeping, and were constantly sick.

Considering the previous "draw down" was purely symbolic, I'm skeptical about what this will functionally mean. That said, for the sake of the people of Minnesota, I pray it's true and that this campaign of terror will soon be over.

tell it to the hague, buddy

wrt to some of the replies to this post, part of why the media has “moved on” is because it has become extraordinarily difficult to document ICE activity on the ground, outside of them arresting citizens.

Holy shit it’s not great political strategy to constantly denounce your own voters?!

This is amazing.

this unprecedented momentum behind a single issue sure might be a useful fulcrum to try and wrench this country back from over the brink

Abolish ICE.

There’s no reforming it.

There’s no compromise.

There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

what impressed me most today was that a huge crowd of people who mostly had never been tear gassed managed to retreat without running or trampling each other. under a cloud of gas that was not moving (zero wind), people held onto each other and walked blind down a street packed tight as sardines

Today I saw ICE gas little white kids in the streets of Portland with chemical weapons. Imagine what they're doing to brown and black kids in the detention camps

A screenshot from Instagram showing two people in a shop full of board games, with the caption: "A Minnesota toy store criticized ICE on a TV news segment. Hours later agents showed up with an audit notice." Below the image are like and repost stats showing 165K likes, 12.9K reposts, etc. The name of the toy store is Mischief Toy Store.

Apparently small businesses that stand up for real American values like presumption of innocence, habeas corpus, the First and Fourth Amendments, etc. are now subject to "audits" by the "DHS".

This is fascist garbage and a screaming red siren of speech suppression.

I reached out to Raygun to confirm if they were told directly that ICE was expected in Des Moines today.

Response from their owner, Mike Draper:

Unverified reports are useful, especially if a bunch of individuals start reporting activity before verification can happen. But it's also super important to share information and not rumors/ fear. And keep showing up for each other!

People Over Papers - Report ICE Activity Report and track ICE activity in your community. A community-driven platform to document immigration enforcement.

There are frequent rumors of ICE activity in Des Moines, this week none are verified but it's hard to dismiss.

There is already a great site where we can report ICE activity: iceout.org

The site moderators categorize, so it's easy to see which sightings are verified (markers with check marks)

DHS funding bill faces new Senate hurdles after another person killed in Minneapolis Some Democrats who voted for recent funding bills said they'll vote against any DHS bill without restrictions on enforcement operations. The deadline to avert a shutdown is Friday.

YOUR PHONE CALLS TO THE SENATE ARE WORKING. KEEP CALLING.

202–224-3121

Three Democrats who previously broke with the party and voted with the GOP are now saying they will not vote for the bill. That’s enough for the bill to be unpassable right now.

This is why Minneapolis isn’t charging for towed vehicles due to ICE abductions. In Bloomington you can literally just sit at the speedway and wait, eventually you’ll see a car be abandoned at a gas pump.

It's -20 in Minneapolis and organizers are in the streets before dawn getting ready for actions related to the general strike. They've had locals training out-of-town volunteers on how to prepare for and endure the cold. AND IT IS WORKING. THE STRIKE IS HAPPENING. THE CITY IS DOING THE DAMN THING...

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

If your solution to the ICE problem is more training and body cams, after Jonathan Ross, a 10 Year ICE veteran, murdered Renee Good and captured the act on his OWN PHONE, you are an enemy of the people and cannot be trusted as a public servant ever again.

i think this MLK day the thing to focus on is the strategic focus and tactical brilliance of the civil rights movement and the way it was laser focused on a set of achievable goals

ICE agents only do this because they are extremely well-trained and experienced with the situations they are creating

I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand

You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen

*Everyone has stories like this*

This is insane. Brooks says everyone is too blinded by ideology to see the truth of what the video shows. Then the host asks him what it shows and he refuses to answer.

“Left and right are equally to blame for everything all the time” is also an ideology!

This is true. We may not be able to stop everything but we can sure as hell slow it down
