Baylee (she/her)

I just watched the shooting video. It's a horrific beating and execution in the middle of the street.

If local and state officials don't move to arrest everyone involved for murder, they need to resign. Making arrests will de-escalate the situation. Do nothing and this is going to explode.

EMERGENCY ACTION happening now. If you’re in the area event being held by MIRAC. Another community member has been shot. Join us for a vigil and rally this afternoon.

We’ll take either just save us

More than 200,000 Danish citizens have signed a petition to buy California as a response to Trump’s attempt to take Greenland.

They say they will provide Californians with “rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”

Minnesotan here… can we be adopted too pls

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

One of the stories that makes me the saddest out of this ICE invasion is one out of the Minnesota Star Tribune today about ICE agents eating at a little Mexican restaurant in the small town of Willmar, Minn, —and then, when they were done, arresting some of the workers.

Please keep posting positives/the resistance/hope in Minneapolis. I’m in an outer suburb and it’s… grim here. Just 35 minutes outside of the metro, people are cheering ICE on. Being a “blue dot in a red county” in a heavily targeted state is exhausting.

But we’re Minnesotans so… we persist.

Worth every second

It will become increasingly important for people to take video and protect and save that video so that when there is finally an accounting for what’s happening, there will be evidence.

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports.

And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.”

Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

ICE took the staff of a Chinese restaurant right across the street from me. No warrants, didn’t ask for papers. Just took the ENTIRE STAFF in the middle of business hours. A business that has been here for 30+ years. Locally and family owned.

With my whole chest: FUCK YOU if you voted for this.

Jacob Frey: "To ICE -- get the fuck out of Minneapolis"

Last night, the Department of Health and Human Services sent termination letters to employees who were originally fired in April but temporarily reinstated due to a lower court ruling. The Supreme Court cleared the way last week for those firings to proceed.

So much for that “line.”

Stop travelling to America.

It’s not safe & your tourist dollars shouldn’t support fascism

If you’re American, stop going to Florida

They built a concentration camp in 8 days

They’ve opted to kidnap and detain thousands instead of housing the homeless, feeding the hungry & providing healthcare

We’re calling for a Florida boycott over the inhumane “Alligator Alcatraz” detention site. Cancel your family vacation and choose a different destination this summer.

To the “I voted for this” crowd:

You voted for the guy who gutted the National Weather Service. Now we’ve got dead families and missing kids in Texas, because storm warnings didn’t go out in time. And he gutted FEMA so they can’t properly respond to disasters.

That’s what you voted for?

I knew we were cooked as a society when everyone just sorta decided they were sick of dealing with Covid and everyone just decided to pretend like it wasn't a thing anymore.

The amount of times this has happened to me is insane. They always say “they must’ve accidentally double scanned it” 🙄

“you’re only ancient if you were born in the 1900’s” — kiddo at work today

Didn’t think I’d feel geriatric at the ripe age of 26 but thanks bud

Why Are Federal Agents Wearing Masks? It’s a Threat to American Democracy Masked Federal Agents Are Undermining Trust—and Democracy

If you need a mask to enforce the law, you don’t deserve a badge.
Federal agents are snatching people off the streets—faces covered, names hidden.
This isn’t safety. It’s secrecy.
It’s not America.

AOC: Being taken is wrong, it is illegal, it is a violation of his First Amendment rights, it is an affront to every American, and we will not allow—and will continue to resist—the politicization and the continued political persecution that ICE is engaged in.
