ICE took their papers—and won’t give them back Immigrants are being released from detention without documents proving their status.

“As far as I can tell, it’s the practice of ICE to throw everybody’s documents into a black box and then lose it.”

Manhattan Stands for Immigrants — march from this past Friday, organized by K-State's Caitlin Solis. Here's @philnel.bsky.social's speech plus more photos: indivisiblemhk.substack.com/p/manhattan-... #ImmigrantsMakeAmericaGreat #ICEoutNOW

YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)

"Minneapolis, I hear your voice
Singing thru' the bloody mist
We’ll take our stand for this land
& the stranger in our midst
Here in our home they killed & roamed
In the winter of ’26
We’ll remember the names of those who died
On the streets of Minneapolis"
—Bruce Springsteen #ICEoutNOW #AbolishICE

Alex Pretti, the man killed by federal agents today in Minneapolis, appears to have been a registered nurse, an athlete, a son and a brother, with ties to Colorado and Wisconsin.

Here is a photo he used for several accounts.

This is fascist propaganda. This is not a legitimate government.

We caught them in 4K from multiple angles. No question that it was murder. It’s not a matter of if they’re going to jail, but how soon we can make it happen.

YouTube video by NBC News Mayor Frey to ICE: 'Get the f--- out of our city'

"To ICE: Get the f*ck out of Minneapolis. We do not want you here. Your stated reason for being in this city is to create some kind of safety, & you are doing exactly the opposite. People are being hurt, families are being ripped apart, & now somebody is dead. That's on you." —Minneapolis Mayor Frey

Economic Resistance

Elon Musk’s new pay package could amount to $100B per year.

That's the same as 3.2 million cashiers’ paychecks combined.

It’s more than 1.4 million elementary school teachers’ paychecks.

It’s more than 2 million janitors’ paychecks.

Billionaire greed is out of control.

For Trump: extravagant dinners with murderous dictators who fill the pockets of him and his family and friends

For you: higher prices

Meeting tomorrow! As usual, it is also a food drive.

🧵*10/29/2025 noncooperation thread*

A daily-ish thread of acts of noncompliance & defiance by individuals, communities, & institutions.

*

Middle-class-&-up ppl often don't grasp that, w/o SNAP, some folks will literally have *nothing* to eat.

Today's thread focuses on the ppl getting folks fed.

What protests do. And what's next? Resistance is a practice.

Make democracy great again. Encouragement, advice, and actions from last night’s Indivisible MHK meeting.
