Another addition to the website to help us built *systems* and not just have me trying to do everything alone:
If you'd like to adopt a rent that you can either *cover immediately* and fundraise for, or just pay outright, please fill out this form and we will contact you via Signal.
CALLING ALL OBSERVERS, PROTESTORS, AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS: Now is the time to know how to protest safely! At this presentation you will get a 101 course on the arsenal of a riot/ICE cop and what you can do to help face them safely.
RSVP: actionnetwork.org/events/prote...
people are always like “what link do i give to?!”
one giant pile of money is actually not a great way to help people. people choosing a variety of places to give helps keep the money moving. no one org gets flooded to the point of breaking.
a PTA, the mutual aid venmo, can move $ even faster.
“we need ICE to act more like cops”
buddy. no. no we do not.
A screenshot of WhatsApp: Ash: Sebastián, I have one very pressing question. Sebastián Di Martino: Let me know Ash: Are jaguar soft? Sebastián Di Martino: They are very soft (two hearts on the answer)
Being a journalist is sick: I just contacted a pre-eminent jaguar conservationist in Argentine with a question that has been weighing on me for ages and he wrote back right away with an informed answer.
god damn these stupid dumb idiot motherfuckers
The Party told you, "Shut the fuck up already! OMG, shut up about it!"
The Oglala Lakota Nation unanimously voted to ban ice from their reservation. www.netnewsledger.com/2026/01/23/o...
ICE is now responsible for 66% of the homicides in Minneapolis this year.
a woman was being assaulted by a federal agent, and the victim placed his body between her and her assailant, trying to protect her... agents pepper spray him twice in the face, gang tackle him, take away the gun he was concealed carrying and made no visible effort to touch, and then murder him
I continue to be impressed by and grateful for people who can be articulate about this moment we’re living thru when the only response I can muster rn is screaming
Protester in Minneapolis just before disappearing in gas: "Fuck you! Stop. Damn! I'm 70 years old and I'm fuckin' angry!"
ICE is not untrained, they’re unrestrained.
Abolish is the floor. Democrats need to come along or get out of the people’s way.
Nah I’ve known that for a while. So have lots and lots of other people, especially ones who have faced state violence personally. It’s important to recognize when taking in more horrific footage is paralyzing rather than motivating.
So glad to hear you’re still hoping “but Mr. President sir, what about decorum?!” will fix anything. Coward. Stand the fuck up.
the video of another person being murdered by the state on the streets of minneapolis shows exactly what people are saying it shows. make your own choices but don’t feel like you are obligated to bear witness to it. reading a description is enough.
I should have listened to you and not watched that. fucking hell. fuck.
ICE killed another Minnesotan.
there is video and it is very bad.

This didn't happen overnight. People worked thanklessly for years to lay foundations of solidarity, and it's because of their efforts that we're leveling up like this now. I'm prouder than ever that this is my home and these are my neighbors; more certain than ever that we have each other's backs.
A coworker took this from her apartment. I haven't seen a crowd this size before. Maybe the first Women's March? But it was much much warmer that day. ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA!
From Mike Norton on Twitter: Empty car sitting at the intersection of 35th and Pillsbury with its flashers on. There are these ghost cars all over Minneapolis right now from ICE snatching people out of their vehicle in the middle of the street.
This is so fucking haunting.
ICE detain yet another minor child—chase him down his own street and tackle him to pavement.
"I am legal! I am legal!" he cries over and over in Spanish.
Agent pins the boy down in snow—he desperately tries to keep his exposed hands from freezing at -25°F wind chill temperature.
Minneapolis, MN
I didn't grow up in MN but I grew up where it was fucking cold in the winter and I can attest this works. It's weird but it works. And potatoes are excellent body fuel.
I'm on the Green Line towards downtown Minneapolis ICE OUT protest.
The train filled immediately. Even 20 stops away from our destination we reached capacity.
People are cheering at every stop when they see people waiting to board because we are all starting to realize how big this is.
Tens of thousands of demonstrators filling the streets with signs and banners
Demonstrators as far as the eye can see. Current status of the march in Downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota for Ice Out of Minnesota. They are turning onto 3rd Street from 5th Avenue.
MINNESOTA VERSION OF COME OUT YE BLACK AND TANS
