people are always like β€œwhat link do i give to?!”

one giant pile of money is actually not a great way to help people. people choosing a variety of places to give helps keep the money moving. no one org gets flooded to the point of breaking.

a PTA, the mutual aid venmo, can move $ even faster.

Being a journalist is sick: I just contacted a pre-eminent jaguar conservationist in Argentine with a question that has been weighing on me for ages and he wrote back right away with an informed answer.

ICE is now responsible for 66% of the homicides in Minneapolis this year.

a woman was being assaulted by a federal agent, and the victim placed his body between her and her assailant, trying to protect her... agents pepper spray him twice in the face, gang tackle him, take away the gun he was concealed carrying and made no visible effort to touch, and then murder him

At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.

ICE is not untrained, they’re unrestrained.

Abolish is the floor. Democrats need to come along or get out of the people’s way.

Nah I’ve known that for a while. So have lots and lots of other people, especially ones who have faced state violence personally. It’s important to recognize when taking in more horrific footage is paralyzing rather than motivating.

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.

This didn't happen overnight. People worked thanklessly for years to lay foundations of solidarity, and it's because of their efforts that we're leveling up like this now. I'm prouder than ever that this is my home and these are my neighbors; more certain than ever that we have each other's backs.

A coworker took this from her apartment. I haven't seen a crowd this size before. Maybe the first Women's March? But it was much much warmer that day. ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA!

There are these ghost cars all over Minneapolis right now from ICE snatching people out of their vehicle in the middle of the street.

ICE detain yet another minor childβ€”chase him down his own street and tackle him to pavement.

"I am legal! I am legal!" he cries over and over in Spanish.

Agent pins the boy down in snowβ€”he desperately tries to keep his exposed hands from freezing at -25Β°F wind chill temperature.

I didn't grow up in MN but I grew up where it was fucking cold in the winter and I can attest this works. It's weird but it works. And potatoes are excellent body fuel.

I'm on the Green Line towards downtown Minneapolis ICE OUT protest.

The train filled immediately. Even 20 stops away from our destination we reached capacity.

People are cheering at every stop when they see people waiting to board because we are all starting to realize how big this is.
