ICE kidnapped a neighbor in Phillips today along with others in MN. They are still the same rogue, abhorrent, & illegitimate organization meant to terrorize & separate families.

As I said yesterday, I am still asking the community to remain cautious & vigilant. We still need help.

Pleading with people to understand the scope of this.

It won’t just be for immigrants.

They will use these camps to detain anyone they deem as an β€œother”.

The disabled. The homeless. Trans people. Political dissidents.

Your tax dollars will be spent incarcerating people without due process.

ICE shot Marimar Martinez 5 times

They shot & killed Silverio Gonzalez, Keith Porter, Renee Good and Alex Pretti

They kidnapped Liam Ramos & other innocent children

They’ve detained over 4,000 people illegally

The shutdown is well deserved, but ICE should not be paid

They should be abolished

The only thing I can think of to counteract this is for white citizens to show up even harder. People not at risk of deportation should spring these traps by...being good neighbors. Honestly, I swear neighborism is going to be their kryptonite!

Why am I never going to shut up about how terrible Gavin Newsom is? Because I don't like this cross-platform inorganic effort to shut people up about how he much he sucks. I'm not letting a bunch of bots tell me what to do. It's pure oppositional defiance. Lol

You and I both know that the kind of person who becomes an ICE agent has a high probability of also being a rapist. It's part of the attraction. But on Maslow's hierarchy of needs, "enough food to live" trumps "bodily autonomy", is my guess.

I have been struck by the fact that we aren't hearing a lot of rape allegations from the concentration camps. I fear that the biggest reason is that the _other_ harms being done to detainees is so great that they are only reporting the very worst, when they get the opportunity at all.

I think the actual answer is some combination of factors, and maybe that is one. But the link between chronic pain and drug use seems pretty clear to me, as is the fact that a lot of chronically ill people have died since 2020.

Meta Plans to Add Facial Recognition Technology to Its Smart Glasses

Meta's plan for launching glasses that people can use to secretly identify strangers on the street is to do it "during a dynamic political environment" when people who care about why that's bad are "focused on other concerns."

Vaguely recall how Biden admin emails to Twitter were the biggest attack on free speech ever. There was a whole twitter files thing about that.

Honestly, I think the reason there wasn't more outrage is that so many worse things are happening here. Not that this isn't shocking and horrible, it is. But as a Minneapolitan, I am having to ration my outrage. Since there's no allegation of actual, physical assault...yep, it's that bad here.

After arrest, teen refugee held overnight in hotel room by ICE agents A girl who entered the United States as a refugee alleges that immigration authorities separated her from her family and detained her overnight in a hotel, where she was forced to share a room with fe...

Did I MISS the MASS OUTRAGE about this?

Or has there been some perfectly reasonable, rational, plausible explanation offered as to why a TEENAGED GIRL would be arrested by ICE and then FORCED TO SPEND THE NIGHT in their hotel room?

Crow cages.

May they be put in crow cages. Where they can watch people eat.

This is the sort of evil that defies genteel justice.

A fine is a price.

Well fed corvids are a deterrent.

My neighborhood record store in my current home of Los Angeles, Amoeba, is selling t-shirts to support a great record store in my hometown of Minneapolis, The Electric Fetus. A magic record store portal between my two homes! My thoughts are with everyone in Minnesota standing up for their neighbors

What the young person in the brown sweatshirt recognizes is that some views are, in and of themselves, violent. Such as the support of a secret police that kidnaps, murders, and tortures.

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here.

Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

This is possibly worse than we even feared

"we saw 60 men packed into a room shoulder-to-shoulder, 24-hours-a-day, with a single toilet in the room and no shower facilities," Raskin said. "They sleep like sardines with aluminum foil blankets.""
