Essential reading for those inside and outside of #Minnesota looking to stop #ICE terrorizing immigrants and anybody else they choose.

Operation Metro Surge hasn’t ended. It’s expanded to the suburbs.
Minnesota residents and lawmakers say the promised drawdown has not materialized, and they are seeing ICE use more covert tactics to continue operations across Twin Cities suburbs.

Amazing picture, almost art, which tells the story of how the US is breaking down... The contrast between the military-style ICE officers and the citizens is stark.

Incredible. I love the idea of taking checkpoints and the "papers please" mentality, and turning it around on the nazis.

ICE/Border Patrol heeft opnieuw een vrouw in Minnesota neergeschoten.
De vrouw rende weg, maar werd in de rug neergeschoten.
Ditmaal met een niet-dodelijk wapen, maar het lijkt erop dat ze een deel van haar hand is kwijtgeraakt."

Oh good, I was wondering what racists might be thinking about the situation in #Minnesota and those #racist pieces of shit at The Babylon Bee were happy to blow their dog whistle for me.

Live: Federal agents shot and killed Minneapolis man, DHS officials say he was armed

Update on hazardous chemical cleanup (or not) in groundwater at Leech Lake, #Minnesota 🧪⚒️

A Superfund site in Minnesota is spreading, disrupting a tribe’s way of life
Little progress has been made despite 40 years of cleanup on Leech Lake Reservation. Locals fear for the health of surrounding waterways.

Another thing I wonder about is, who decided to pull off the #Minneapolis operation in the middle of a very cold winter? Did they think it’d be easier somehow than in the summer? Did none of them ever go to #Minnesota in the winter before and see that the people live there don’t give a shit about th…

Very dumb question maybe, but why is the Minnesota National Guard not called up to protect the people or would that mean immediate civil war?

How much suffering would the US and the world have been spared, how many people would still be alive today, if on July 13, 2024, a ridiculous one or two centimeters had not been missing...

Western #Minnesota from the air the other day, after a snowstorm had passed through.

Reliable person I know, in a #Minneapolis suburb, today:
"Saw my first ice arrest this morning. At a church in Excelsior on Hwy 7 there was a man laying on the snow with 2 or 3 ice agents on top of him and another 2 or 3 agents running towards him. All with their masks on."

Watched the video from the Minneapolis murder, it's quite unbelievable the person on the ground would be able to draw a gun, if he even had one...
