I want to laugh at it but sadly it’s true.

Right-wing media figures are furious at activists for using whistles during ICE activity Right-wing media figures are lashing out at community members in Minnesota for using whistles to alert others of federal immigration enforcement in the area, asserting that whistles should be “conside...

Trump supporters are claiming that whistles should be “considered a violent weapon,” that their use constitutes “interference” with immigration enforcement operations or even “assault.”

In other words—the rapid response networks are working. The whistles are working.

Let no one tell you otherwise.

Of all the infuriating and terrifying things I heard on a quick news update today, this might be the most infuriating and terrifying. America, you’re in a Mustang driving right off that cliff. Law was the last guard rail. No seatbelts either. May these guys and not your people be in that car.

Crockett: "Now my colleagues want to be the protectors of girls & women. I didn't hear them screaming this when Renee Good was killed in the middle of the street by the same people the vast majority of you just voted to give more money to. It was a lot of crickets, including about the Esptein files"

DHS Hunts Down 67-Year-Old U.S. Citizen Who Criticized Them in Email The Department of Homeland Security is using a little-known tool to go after its critics.

Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.

Classic ragey “you’d look so much better if you smiled” question-evasion to a seasoned journalist asking a thinnest-of-skin lifetime-entitled sexual predator what he would say to survivors. #fuckthepatriarchy

nursesonja • 7h & Threads Let us not forget, it was the same administration that reduced us to wearing trash bags as protective gear while we watched the hospital go up in flames around us during the pandemic that just murdered one of our own on the streets in broad daylight. As a nurse & as a person, I will never forgive. I will never forget. I will never back down. This was never about border control. This is about total control. O240 Q5 G34 → 21

The nurses are pissed

"We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump's murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man."

A thread about how free state Democratic leaders and our leaders in Congress must band together and defend Minnesota as Europe rallied to defend Denmark and forced Trump to retreat.

We must stand as one, unified, and fight 👇

We must keep repeating that DHS-ICE may be a law(less) enforcement agency but it's not "police" as we understand police. They don't follow police procedures. Are uninterested in following Federal, state, and local law. Are working against local officials not with them. Have no accountability.

Palantir uses medical records to target people for ICE in the US – will the UK be next? | Good Law Project Deadly ICE raids in the US rely on Palantir tools that mine health records to produce real-time data on people’s location – a chilling prospect for the NHS

Follow the lead of the people of Minneapolis. Protect your communities. Take no shit from fascists. The whole world is watching. #standwithminneapolis

I could give like a three hour lecture on the history of radical organizing in Minneapolis. Scandinavian populism, the truck strikes, the Black and brown power movements, American Indian Movement, the Farmer Labor party…

but the long story short: we are built different because we built different.

More than 50 years after its founding, the American Indian Movement has resumed community patrols along Franklin Avenue in Minneapolis.
In the days following the tragic killing of Renee Good, the 2026 Minneapolis cohort has close to 100 members patrolling the streets. (ICT).

I just thought everyone should see this

There was this bully in our neighborhood name Johnny Sabo, & for payback, we took a pencil box, wrote “KITE KIT” on it, & glued it shut. After trying to open it for an hour, he got pissed and told us we couldn’t be a member of his lean-to shithole clubhouse in his side yard. This reminds me of that.

Another friend put it to me like this: "ICE has made the classic Nazi mistake. They've invaded a winter people in the winter."

With Blood on His Hands, Trump Is Eager To Invoke Insurrection Act Programming Note Join me for the first Morning Memo Live event on...

Minneapolis is shaping up to be the catalyzing moment that President Trump was looking for to justify doing what he has wanted to do since his first term: invoke the Insurrection Act.
