Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

US athletes are showing a courage that many, in much more powerful positions in the US, are not. They are speaking out #IceOut 📣

So sad. Sounds amazing

Wilonsky: Why Dallas County’s DA joined a coalition hoping to prosecute federal agents Dallas County District Attorney John Creuzot got the call earlier this week from a fellow prosecutor halfway across the country. The man on the other end...

"As a prosecutor and a lawyer it’s unacceptable that a branch of our government creates a different set of facts about what’s very obvious."

Which is why this week John Creuzot signed on to the Fight Against Federal Overreach.

Or, as the founders call it, FAFO.

Twin Cities tow truck driver returns abandoned vehicles to families after ICE arrests Juan Leon sends a "chase" car to check out where abandoned vehicles are located and arranges discreet drop-offs. Since late December, he estimated they have dropped off 250 cars.

ICE has grabbed so many people from their vehicles that there are abandoned cars across Minnesota.

This tow truck driver returns the cars for free as a public service, and he’s been getting death threats.

They hate the helpers.

Which is why must keep helping.

Opinion | Lessons for America From Asia

When I first began to cover Taiwan, it was a thuggish military dictatorship; now it is more democratic than the US, according to global indexes of democracy. Here's what we in the West should learn from Asia, especially about education: www.nytimes.com/2026/02/07/o...

Just a quick update from the Twin Cities. (Please forgive the unsolicited message). THINGS ARE NOT BETTER IN MINNEAPOLIS. The media is mostly moving on, Trump is focused on other stuff, BUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED ON THE GROUND. More than 2,000 DHS thugs continue to roam the streets, abducting people 24/7, assaulting legal observers with impunity, and routinely denying 1st, 4th, and 5th amendment rights. Drones and helicopters are overhead every day. Hundreds and hundreds of terrified families have not left their homes since mid-December ... relying on the community to bring them food and help with rent and other necessities. (Those people are NOT violent drug cartel sex offending murderers, as DHS would tell you. Most are legal residents or citizens.) If anything, things have just become more stressful and intractable (think trench warfare as a suitable metaphor): The resistance is better organized and numerous, but DHS has become more clever and better at disguise... and the county sheriff's office is increasingly supporting them . Do not let anyone tell you that Homans (the new person in charge of the occupation) is making anything better. Do not let anyone tell you that 700 ICE agents leaving the city has made much of a difference; the remaining force (again, ~2,000) is still larger than the entire city's police force (which is legally unable to do anything). Please call your congressional reps ... especially if there is any chance the administration might listen to them.

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

New data shows surge in trans kids’ suicides following healthcare rollbacks | Good Law Project A freedom of information request by Good Law Project has found that deaths by suicide of trans young people under 18 surged following the withdrawal of gender-affirming healthcare

The number of trans youth suicides in the UK quadrupled in 2021 following significant restrictions in access to care. The NHS tried to cover this up with a fake report that tried to hide the truth.

Enjoying how the demand is evolving from 'abolish ICE' to 'abolish and prosecute ICE'

that's the spirit folks, keep pushing 🙌

FCK ICE

Tweet from Ambassador Rabbi Yehuda Kaploun: "Ignorance like this cheapens the horror of the Holocaust. Anne Frank was in Amsterdam legally and abided by Dutch law. She was hauled off to a death camp because of her race and religion. Her story has nothing to do with the illegal immigration, fraud, and lawlessness plaguing Minnesota today. Our brave law enforcement should be commended, not tarred with this historically illiterate and antisemitic comparison."

"‘Reminds me of Anne Frank’: Jewish seniors are offering to hide their Haitian caregivers as Trump’s TPS end looms The end of Temporary Protected Status has Holocaust survivors offering to hide Haitian staffers, according to the CEO of a senior-living center in Florida."

Trump's antisemitism envoy: "It is utterly inappropriate to compare Anne Frank to children hiding from ICE. This demeans the experience of those who died in the Holocaust."

Actual Holocaust survivors in Florida: "This reminds us of Anne Frank."

Imagine being a kid, making this, going with your parents to a family event, and then getting fucking tear gassed for it.

You do not hate the modern Gestapo enough because they sure as fuck hate every decent person in this country.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

The Moral Right to Defend Yourself Against ICE - Public Seminar If you saw an armed stranger forcing his way into your neighbor's home at dawn, would you have the right to stop him?

"...we maintain this weird double standard: Soldiers in combat zones must refuse unlawful orders, but civilians facing unlawful force from domestic law enforcement must submit."

Amazing 👏👏👏

@badgayspod.bsky.social may have done a podcast on them.

From Minneapolis to all in solidarity.
Merry General strike to all, and to all a Fuck Ice.

Yay! Two of my favorite people!

You can like it or hate it, but peaceful protest does little and guns work, it's why people use them.

The use of firearms to protect communities/individuals that are oppressed is as old as humankind. Face some hard truths. Arm yourselves. Build community. Train.
