Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself.

It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did.

ICE MUST GO‼️

large banner that reads ICE OUT OF MN FOR GOOD at lake and lyndale

Large banner hangs over a building at Lake Street and Lyndale Avenue on a snowy morning.

It reads "ICE OUT OF MN" "FOR GOOD" with the names of those killed by federal agents.

Minneapolis, February 2026

Quilicura, Chile, one of the communities I wrote about in EMPIRE OF AI, has launched a brilliant initiative to inspire more responsible AI prompting. Today, don't use AI; ask the townspeople instead: quili.ai. So heartened to see this creative act of resistance.

I will not condemn King Buzzo

Good short vid for people outside MN. I can’t believe this has all been less than a month

The majority of organizing happening in Minnesota isn’t just peaceful, it’s INVISIBLE. Moms showing up who won’t be interviewed on TV, people whose ICE patrols don’t turn into viral video. The grocery runs, the donations, the people filming bc they happen to be there. Please remember this.

BTW when I say abolish ICE, I mean abolish it entirely and replace it with exactly nothing. Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. That's it.

Protests happen, but most of what is happening in Minneapolis isn’t protesting.

More accurate terms:
- observers
- witnesses
- volunteers
- neighbors
- residents
- people

Many candles burning in front of images of those murdered by DHS violence. A white man is crouched in front of them and you can see drums on either side. People in reflective vests are guarding the building outside.

The second vigil was indoors. We caught the end of a ceremony. We left our candles burning & were reminded that death is not the end. It’s something you earn, something you give. But still something we grieve.

I've been studying the history of US, and indeed, global policing my whole career and I can't make it more clear to law makers that this isn't a bastardization of policing, it is its purest form and logical conclusion. The impunity, militarization, deference, legitimacy, racial targeting, etc.

Here's a time-lapse from yesterday as thousands of people marched through downtown Minneapolis to protest ICE.

This woman is harder than goddamn steel dealing with these goddamn thugs. I want her to be my neighbor.
