How goes the invasion?
🚨 SOS FROM MINNESOTA: "WE'RE BEING INVADED... NOBODY SEEMS TO BE SAFE" "Everyone's scared to go to work," Todd Dahlstrom of Minnesota AFL-CIO tells @therealnews.com. "They're scared to send their kids to school. They're afraid to go to lunch..." Please watch & help amplify!

And they'll come for your area, too (if they haven't already). So, watch and learn. You'll need to know how to resist when it's your turn.
Some news from the state:
- MN ICE Watch
- Queer trans ICE protester in small Minn. city recounts agents' violence and humiliation
- DOJ investigating Gov. Tim Walz, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey over alleged conspiracy to impede immigration agents
- ICE’s Tear Gas Sent a 6-Month-Old to the Hospital, the Latest in an Alarming Pattern
It's so bad that Minneapolis issued this statement:
Vehicles that are abandoned due to an ICE detention and towed to the City's impound lot will be released to their owners or a representative at no cost. Learn more: https://www.minneapolismn.gov/getting-around/parking-driving/impound-lot/#d.en.200746

But while it's Minnesota's turn, there are some things we can do to help them. There's a phone bank event on Wednesday to call voters in key states to ask them to call their senators. (And you can keep calling your electeds, too.) You can donate to CANMN for mutual aid, especially for those who have to remain indoors due to the threats of being kidnapped off the street. (Like there's a group that's doing laundry for those who it isn't safe to go to laundromats for.)
And here again is a link for finding groups to help in your immediate area.
After getting through all that, how about a giggle. ICE thugs slipping on the ice in Minnesota. It's a thing people are now filming and uploading for our entertainment:
Scary stuff.
ReplyDeleteIt is scary. Years ago, one of our next door neighbors hired roofers to work on their roof. My husband was off from work that day and was outside working in our yard when ICE pulled up to the neighbor's house. They talked to the workers, who were all speaking Spanish up on the roof. After a few minutes they left, quietly, without anyone in tow. I don't want to imagine what would have happened if they had shown up today. The Kimmel video was good comic relief but only for a minute. ICE is operating in my county. I know of at least one raid, at a local landscaper. Somehow it doesn't get reported on much but they are here.
ReplyDeleteThey're in my county, too. Too many news outlets aren't paying attention, and that's even scarier.
DeleteI can't believe that people are just taken away from the streets! Quite scary!
