This morning, ICE was staking out an elementary school bus stop here in Minneapolis. A crowd with whistles chased them off.

Just in case you somehow thought they were leaving Minnesota.

Just in case Senators somehow thought maybe it’s OK to give them a military-sized budget after all just because they demoted that one guy.

@inthehands My big concern right now is that, since they're not getting any traction with trying to portray immigrants as a danger that they can save us from, they're going to pivot the kidnapping machinery back to targeting homeless people and Black Americans, the everyday fears of the Nextdoor and Facebook groups that neighbors hung out in before they'd ever heard of Signal. If we're not careful, they'll get the local cops back on their side and the block chats back to going along with it.

This has already been happening in Minneapolis for weeks. They even kidnapped unhoused Native folks.

Driving my kid to school today, we passed a crowd on a street corner. She asked what they were doing. I said my guess was that it’s observers conferring about ICE.

That wasn’t really a guess What I knew that she didn’t know is that they were gathering because somebody was just abducted there.

@inthehands They even act like vermin - they scuttle into the shadows at the sign of any threat

@inthehands @feznander They tried to get into the Catholic Charities homeless shelter in downtown St. Paul this morning, got chased off because they lacked a warrant, and promised to "come back with a team".

@inthehands I know, and it was their initial strategy with the DC Guard deployment and the beginning of the whole occupying cities thing, and it was dangerously close to working in terms of public opinion and legislative support. They try to tell us that targets are dangerous gang members, and it turns out they can't actually make people believe that about roofers and preschool teachers, but it's going to take work to make everyone stands firm on no kidnapping or concentration camps for ANYONE

@inthehands Border Patrol is leaving, not Ice. They're staying while Bondi squeezes Walz for those voter records.

@inthehands I’m calling to tell my senator not to fund this or any GQP bs.
I’ve called a few, but haven’t specifically addressed funding ICE murder squads.
Dems need to address GQP like MN protesters. Push their asses OUT!!
Shut them all UP w their hateful rhetoric.

@MrFesser @inthehands @feznander I love how the "we're a Christian nation" imbeciles have absolutely zero respect for certain religious institutions. Hypocrisy thy name is ICE.

@inthehands thinking by this time, you are on a first-name basis with your Senators

but your descriptions of this awfulness are very poignant and moving. thanks for making what's happening real to the rest of us, without making it outrage-shock posts, and I hope you are relaying these reports to them too.

@draNgNon
I’m on a first-name basis with their voicemail anyway

With these recent days of news showing that the Trump regime is on their heels about ICE, my refrain has been: “It’s working. Punch harder.”

Last night I let myself savor the “It’s working” part for a few happy minutes, but this morning I’m squarely focused on “Punch harder.”

@inthehands of course it's working. Beating fascists is all about solidarity, community, not backing down and staying in the fight. You're doing great!
