Good afternoon from downtown Chicago, where despite heavy snowfall, thousands have gathered for an anti-ICE/CBP demonstration in solidarity with the Twin Cities. More are still streaming in.

Lt. Illinois Gov. Juliana Stratton just addressed the crowd, and called for ICE to be abolished.

Nation's largest nurses union repeats calls for ICE abolition, pledges to do "everything in our power to vote out any elected official who supports funding for this all-out assault on the health, safety, and civil rights of our people."

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.

Minneapolis, MN -

A memorial has been set up where observer Alex Pretti was shot by federal agents. A heart made with branches. Several crying.

Multiple demonstrations are being organized in Chicago this weekend in response to federal agents killing a man in Minneapolis this morning.

I'm seeing announcements of a protest at 3 pm today in Little Village.

Another today at 3 pm in Logan Square

Yet another downtown at 1 pm tomorrow

Once again: Focusing on their lack of training is a mistake. With "better training," their violence would simply cost more, and they would still kill whoever they wanted, but make it look more professional — to make people more comfortable, the way many of you are at ease with local police violence.

For folks asking: yes, the person shot has died. Just announced. The video circulating shows what can only be described as an execution.

genuinely stunning image

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.

Flyer on HOW TO TALK TO KIDS ABOUT ICE. Includes blocks of text as copied below. WHY THESE CONVERASTIONS MATTER Kids hear things. Without guidance, they feel anxious. Be present and honest. WHAT NOT TO SAY • Don't worry about it. (Feels dismissive) • That won't happen to us. (Create false security) • Constant News/Replays (Increases anxiety) WHAT TO SAY INSTEAD Focus on safety and validation. • You aren't alone. Look for the helpers-I am one of them. • It's okay to feel scared. Let's talk about it together. AGES 3-6 • Focus on comfort • Stick to routines and offer extra hugs. • What to say: Some families aren't being treated nicely because of where they were born. • Reassure them: Remind them they are safe and loved. AGES 7 TO 11 • Explain the situation: Some families are being separated because of how they came here. That isn't right. • Open dialogue: Let them ask questions. • Safety first: Remind them to only discuss this with trusted adults. AGES 12-18 • Be direct: It is unfair that people are treated differently based on where they are from. • Listen: Encourage them to share their feelings. • Empower them: Support them if they want to take positive action SOURCE: CHILDREN'S NETWORK Early Risers Waking up to racial equity in early childhood.

I’m the one in the brown hat.

What you might not see is the victim in the car. His feet are pointing out the open car door. An agent is sitting on one of his legs. He’s only wearing crocs.

Bystanders found his legal work visa in his abandoned car.

Rapid Response Networks in the Twin Cities The rapid response networks people organized to defend their communities against federal agents seeking to kidnap, brutalize, and terrorize them have undergone a whirlwind evolution to keep up with...

Rapid response networks have evolved swiftly over the past few months. Besieged by 3000 federal mercenaries, volunteers in the Twin Cities have updated their rapid response model, developing a dynamic and resilient system.

This report explores how you can learn from their model to build your own.

I am not sharing a lot of out of state reporting on this moment, I am sharing this.

“We can’t ignore the outright misogyny and homophobia baked into this incident—and yes, erasing Good’s wife from the story of her life and death is also misogyny and homophobia.”

From a good friend in Minneapolis: "Target is allowing ICE to stage in their parking lots, use their restrooms, and abduct people from inside their stores - so if you weren’t boycotting already, now is the time." They were staging in Chicago as well.

ohhh these guys permanently changed my brain!! Enjoy!
