In Minneapolis, George Floyd-era faith networks reignite after Renee Good's killing by ICE MINNEAPOLIS (RNS) — The faith-based networks, which developed organizing infrastructure and relationships during the Floyd era, are joined by newcomers as resistance efforts have intensified following...

NEW from me: In MN, George Floyd-era faith networks have reignited after Renee Good's killing by ICE.

They often partner w/others: last night, a church, brewery & bookstore hosted an event.

If you showed up w/a whistle (to warn people of ICE), you got a free drink. religionnews.com/2026/01/11/i...

The issue with ICE is not training, the issue with ICE is that it fundamentally should not exist. The violence is the purpose

At a church in Minneapolis that is hosting an anti-ICE singing vigil, which will later process through the neighborhood.

They sing: “This is for our neighbors who are locked inside, together we will abolish ICE.”

For those baffled at others' reactions to the video, I really can't recommend this classic article enough. "What people see will often be a reflection of what they value."

("Motivated cognition" is a hell of a drug. For others. Not for me.)

Swept Away: What Cities Really Take When They Sweep Homeless Encampments People say having their possessions — from birth certificates to loved ones’ ashes — taken in “sweeps” traumatizes them, exacerbates health issues and undermines efforts to find housing and get or kee...

They already are. That's what cutting Medicaid is about. Also every time a homeless camp is "swept" (raided) & belongings thrown away.

ICE is also majorly targeting Black people. Doesn't matter if you "were born here." They are harassing people left, right and center.

Couldn't sum up the mood in Minneapolis right now any better than that.

Please understand this is happening in literally dozens of locations around the city simultaneously. If an ICE vehicle stops, community members materialize in seconds and do everything they can to stop the kidnappings. We are under siege and using every tool to fight back.

A picture of a guillotine, with a screenshot of a tweet overlaid on it: NoShu (twitter@Noshu4me) The problem with saying "violence isn't the answer" is that highly organized violence already exists and is being perpetrated against all of us to varying degrees every day. All you're doing is accepting that violence as a part of life and demonizing any self-defense against it.

If he wants to declare martial law, he will. It won't be based on reality. I don't know why some people continue to say: "be peaceful or he'll invoke martial law." Are you all living in this country in 2026???? Haven't you seen them make things up out of whole cloth???? Are you 10 years old?

The same administration terrorizing immigrants with ICE raids is waging war abroad. These struggles are connected.
Defend our neighbors. Hands off Venezuela.

They never wanted "small goverment," just a goverment they control weaponized to harm the people they don't like.

Glad to see people noticing that the work of violence workers is, in fact, political violence.

Of course "bitch" is a slur. Are you all dense?

DHS Instagram post dhsgov e and icegov & Pine Tree Riots • We'll Have Our Home Again WE'LL HAVE OUR HOME AGAIN JOIN.ICE.GOV

“We’ll Have Our Home” again is a song that’s extremely popular with white nationalists. It’s all over Telegram. I think the first time I heard it was from a video of a secretive group called the Mannerbünd.

Ring Doorbells Can Now Identify Faces—But Experts Say It’s a Major Privacy Invasion. Here’s Everything You Need to Know Tech keeps getting better—or worse, if you ask privacy experts. Find out which new Ring doorbell feature is making people a little nervous.

I love seeing these kinds of articles in extremely normal publications because imho it’s an indicator of the level of overreach from tech companies.

For the people (not inaccurately) comparing the IDF to ICE:

We didn't learn violent oppression of people from Israel.

Israel learned it from US.

The person who was shot in the face here is a local organizer who has been very active in the Movement for Black lives.

After the US admin cancelled the $B Climate + Weather Disaster dataset, @climatecentral.org hired the scientists who ran it and set it back up.

Now the 2025 numbers are in: it's 3rd highest year on record and highest year w/o land-falling hurricanes.

She was deeply loved by her wife who is presumably going to raise the six-year-old boy you just categorized as an orphan for some reason.

And we didn't ✌🏾lose✌🏾 her. The government murdered her. Words mean things

All of the white people under here going oh my God, we've cared for a year, where have you been?

Wow. A whole year! That's a much shorter way of saying you didn't give a shit before.

Gentle reminder that EVERYONE shot by ICE or the police is innocent. Every single one. Cops aren't Judge Dredd. A person is innocent until proven guilty IN A COURT, so until a person is found guilty by a judge or jury, they're innocent. They're ALL innocent.

Funny how all the white people who were saying "enjoy the camps" to poc for criticizing the harris are now demanding ICE be abolished in the wake of them killing a white person.

Btw, they were same people who were celebrating ICE conducting operations in dearborn recently

This is also why authoritarians in both parties are so intent on censoring social media.

For decades cops murdered with impunity and the press repeated their lies as fact.

Now everyone can document abuse and instantly share it with millions of people.

That makes those in power scared.

Good.

Before ICE Shooting, Immigration Agents Repeatedly Used Deadly Force The killing of a Minneapolis woman is latest by ICE and Border Patrol officers in recent months. Others have been wounded or threatened with guns.

For the last few months, I kept a document where every time I saw reports of fed immigration agents shooting or pointing their gun at someone, I made a note. The list grew and grew. It now includes 4 deaths. Here is what I noticed keeping that list.

Perfectly reasonable folks are not using reason.

Dems who spent the last 20 years (ESPECIALLY the last 5) cutting every social program they could, to make sure cops were so extensively militarized they dont NEED to answer to anyone, are not going to save us.

We need to help each other survive now.

i cannot imagine who predicted this even wrote a whole book
