I suspect some American Olympians are thinking about this image a LOT

Weird to realize that you can predict the Discourse after an American Olympian protests ICE in a prominent way

- Many posts of Tommie Smith + John Carlos to show historic parallels

- Furious post by POTUS

- "leave politics out of sports"

- Some lesser-known Olympian posting a MAGA meme

Etc

Minnesota Olympians speak up about federal agents in Minneapolis As American athletes turn their attention to the Olympic Games, some β€” including several from Minnesota, which is home to some of Team USA’s biggest stars β€” have spoken out in the wake of the shooting...

At some point in the next few weeks, a Minnesotan will hold an "ICE OUT" sign on the podium or at the end of their competition, and they will become a local hero

Not a DOJ attorney but a former ICE attorney who volunteered to help just a MONTH ago and is already having a nervous breakdown.

There are ethical considerations to quitting a case but it feels like begging the court to rule contempt because your client sucks does too.

This is very true, but there was also very little change afterwards, the Minnesota political establishment, many of whom like Walz, Klobuchar, Frey, etc. raced to embrace law enforcement, just like they've done with the ICE occupation

Fuck. I'm so glad these stories are getting out there and that people are starting to understand the scope of this. Also, I need to sit and sob for a few minutes (again).

"In Minneapolis, for every story detailing the fallout of the federal crackdown, there are as many stories of people like Bri. Neighbors are putting their trust in total strangers. Moms are helping children who are not their own, who they’ve never met. "

I think just temporarily closed (in this case)

my dad wanted to support the community and get lunch (including some for me). he went to one taco shop but it was closed (because ice), so he drove to another. while this is a *very, very* small thing, understand that he is 81 and does NOT like to socialize or drive around. it's weirdly touching.

"The AIM members recovered the merchandise, took the teens’ names and numbers and called their mothers in Wisconsin to come pick them up."

All-time great piece of Minneapolis lore

One million percent. And this is why Mpls set up neighborhood watches and block-level group chats back then: because of a sense that we were under attack, as a city, and had to protect ourselves.

That sentiment and those comms networks have been a huge part of the current organizing.

Yup. Yelled at us for saying there were people not from the area causing trouble and were like, "you're believing 'outside agitators'?"
- Public defenders saw bookings, they weren't from here
- People not from here literally showed up in our streets and told us exactly where they were from+

ICE is active in south Minneapolis today-
Multiple cars cruising around East Phillips, Midtown Phillips.
Meanwhile, signal is having issues, so folks should be outside!
See ICE? Form a crowd and get loud.
Let neighbors know if ICE is nearby by making noise.

Interviewing a 5-year-old about how they're worried because "bad guys are taking mommies and daddies" is not something I ever thought I'd do.
