Throughout the story of the ICE invasion of Minneapolis, it’s been the helpers who’ve most captured international attention: the people keeping watch, the people delivering groceries, the people marching and raising their voices. There’s a lot of us.
Mr. Rogers said “look for the helpers,” and yes, that’s good advice. But in this case, it needs a second thought: don’t look so hard for the helpers that you forget the people we’re helping.
If you're defending Chomsky because you think we need him & his insight, I think you should try broadening your reading list.
I'm serious. Marginalized folks (and the folks who actually live & work in solidarity with them) can offer you so much more & open up your imagination in transformative ways.
We don't need the intellectual elite. We definitely don't need anyone who is "well respected" among dishonorable & abusive people.
Please do not waste your time listening to, reading, or analyzing what Tom Homan actually said this morning. That man is full of shit, everything that comes out of his mouth is shit, and you don’t need to eat it.
I hope ICE and CBP actually leave soon. I’ll believe it when they do. They’re still out there right now. They’re still horrible. They’re still destroying lives •this morning•.

President Trump’s border czar announced an imminent end to Operation Metro Surge on Thursday, claiming success from the unprecedented federal incursion that brought thousands of immigration officers to the state over the objections of local Democratic leaders, and that led to massive protests and two deaths. “The Twin Cities, and Minnesota in general, are and […]
Cop media: “Officials announce end of…”
NO. It’s over when they actually leave #Minnesota, not when they start talking about it. And then we’ve still got to abolish DHS, the police who aid in deportations, and all the rest, while also helping people who’ve lost their jobs, apartments and families over the last few months.
We've prepared a zine version of our text "Rapid Response Networks in the Twin Cities," describing the dynamic and resilient system that people in the Twin Cities have developed to keep the pressure on ICE.

If you want a ton of indie #ttrpg stuff and more for $10 that goes to a good cause, consider getting the No ICE in Minnesota Charity Bundle-- funds raised will go to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota.
As a #Minneapolis resident, I can say with confidence that this shit is not over yet-- the temperature has not be "turned down" in in any significant way, and people are still being snatched off the streets.
My game is in the bundle, and it's just a drop in the bucket! https://itch.io/b/3484/no-ice-in-minnesota
Because Homan says “de-escalation” and Bovino is gone, people think #Minneapolis is calm now.
That’s bullshit.
Trusted folks on the ground say otherwise.
Keep watching. This ain’t over.

A gut punch with today's ICE Air flight at MSP - I thought we were going to make it the whole day without a flight for the first time since January 5th, but one popped up this evening. 66 detainees boarded today - the most we've seen in the last ten days. 3,137 are represented on this graph.
