with alt text, because everyone needs to be able to read this 😭

One of the reasons that rapid response is so important is not just to prevent ICE from kidnapping people, but, if someone is taken, to inform family and friends of the kidnapped to start the legal process so that their family member isn't sent out of state.

I don't see any nat'l guard (they wear camo and yellow vests). The folks with yellow sleeves appear to be done kind of law enforcement.

The person filming in a yellow vest with "DON'T SHOOT" on the back is likely a legal observer or part of a patrol to protect the kids at preschool dropoff.

i have just gotten off a productive call with sauron where i laid out our requests

- nazgul bodycams
- morgul knife must remain sheathed unless suspect is determined to be carrying the one ring
- shelob will be the new point of contact

Hey Folks, just because they're doing a PR move does not mean that ICE gets a soft tut tut and then more funding!!

The eye witness to the murder of Alex Pretti is now hiding from ICE.

An affidavit signed by her details her observation of the #ICEGestapo murder.

Mood in minneapolis right now

in case you're curious about how angry Minnesota is about ICE, it was -20 today

So proud of Minnesota 👏👏

hey, y'all. my name is madi and i'm a reporter for the minnesota reformer. i cover the trump administration's impact on minnesotans, which means i've been out on the streets covering ICE in the twin cities. let me walk you through how we got here:

Right now in Minnesota schools are canceling all field trips indefinitely because it isn’t safe to take students to science museums and water sanitation facilities with agents of the federal government hanging around

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*

I promise you, this is underreporting the Twin Cities. It's fucking unreal over here.

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."

The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"

"Learned what?" she asks

Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

Gentle reminders for local pals:
- monthly test sirens are today
- you can turn off autoplay on these platforms

💔

A reminder....

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

Jesus fucking Christ. I have no other words right now.

Anyone know if there's an equivalent to @defendthe612.bsky.social for St. Paul? A Defend The 651, as it were.

How are we protecting our neighbors on this side of the Mississippi?

In Minneapolis, at a street called Portland

This picture says everything about the state of our nation right now, peaceful clergy being arrested and forced face-down on the pavement.

No Kings protest at the Minnesota State Capitol

No Kings protest at the Minnesota State Capitol

Despite warnings from the law enforcement not to attend today’s No Kings rally after this mornings shooting of Minnesota lawmakers with the killer on the lose, the No Kings Rally is happening at the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul.

Tens of thousands of people protesting at the Minnesota State Capitol as a part of the No Kings rally. The crowd covers the entire lawn down to MLK and up the street towards the cathedral.

If this is what the Minnesota State Capitol looks like when we're told to stay home... #nokings

So this week we’ve had a man impersonating an ICE agent tie up a woman and steal $1000; a man impersonating a police officer assassinate a top Democratic politician & her husband (and shoot another Democrat & his wife); and a man impersonating a king hold a military parade for his birthday

DO NOT let rain deter you from protesting. Buy cheap rain ponchos. cover your signs with clear plastic bags. It's absurd to think we would let democracy fall because we didn't want to get wet. #HandsOff #Indivisible #TeslaTakedown #ElbowsUp
