The purpose of scapegoating immigrants is not to solve problems. It’s about manipulating emotion to divide and control people. This makes it easier to maintain inequality and undermine democracy. The winners are the wealthy and powerful.

People bitching about snow not shoveled yet (extra whine/hate aimed at rentals). We're still in the middle of a blizzard. Caretakers work other jobs, rent credit is not always full rent. Moving foot of snow (by hand)while being pelted in face is exhausting. Have patience. Or grab a shovel and help.

Across America and the world, people are realizing it’s not possible to appease America’s dictator. The only way to deal with him is to stand up to him — and the only way to stand up to him is by joining together against him. It's time for a massive general strike across the country.

You may have voted for him. You may have supported what he said Operation Metro Surge was going to be. But it’s okay to say you changed your mind. It’s okay to say he’s gone too far.

"ICE will leave Minnesota if you hand over your voter rolls" tells you everything you need to know. This was never about immigration or fraud. It was always about rigging elections.

The march is now passing the Chicago city hall / Cook County hall building. The chant goes up, "Minnesota don't you fear, we, the people, are right here"

"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."

Van Hollen: "They really think the American people are stupid. I mean, we can all see the video. We saw the video with Renee Good. We saw the video with Alex Pretti. The real domestic terrorists are in the White House right now."

Other countries are sending their foreign war correspondents to cover ICE’s occupation of Minneapolis. The Department of Defence has put the US Army on alert for possible deployment to the city. This was never about immigration. They’re turning it into a war zone.

Folks, if you know any Minnesotan, you'll know that many of us will bring up Minnesota and Minnesota things at every possible opportunity. If we manage to ride out military occupation, we're going to be absolutely insufferable for the next 20 years. Think about what you're risking here.

Trump's thugs are going hog wild and tossing gas around in one of the busiest commercial districts in Minneapolis, just a mile or so from where I live. Complete insanity. (vid via Ford Fischer on X)

If youo see a bunch of new got posts of the "terror" in the streets of Minneapolis, don't be a sucker. It's propaganda, they created the fuss themselves , complete with fireworks, green smoke and fancy green lasers.

Reports of drones all over the metro, including my own apartment building. Twin City neighbors and strangers are patrolling, taking shifts driving around neighborhoods. Hoping to warn people and keep everyone safe -- from our own government.

just a reminder that we aren’t even seeing the worst of what is happening in Minneapolis from someone detailed at the Whipple Federal Building yesterday

A friend in Minneapolis just sent me this video. Looks like thousands have come together for a vigil after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. This was my neighborhood for several years before coming to Portland.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans. 🧵 1 of 9

Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's son was pulled over by ICE and forced to prove he is an American. Two options: 1) ICE deliberately targeted him. 2) ICE is stopping all non-White people without any probable cause and forcing them to prove they are citizens. Hard to say which option is scarier.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara to US citizen detained by ICE: "I apologize that this happened to you in my city with people wearing vests that say 'police.' That's embarrassing."

Magaziner: How many US military veterans have you deported? Noem: We have not deported military veterans. Magaziner: We are joined on zoom by a gentleman who is an army combat veteran who was shot twice while serving our country. You deported him to Korea.

Any death is tragic; however, the Food and Drug Administration’s vague declaration about the COVID-19 vaccine and pediatric deaths undermines confidence in the safety of the vaccine and raises questions about FDA’s own approval process. Our statement: bit.ly/44B8IvH
