We'll need much more of this. The people of #Minnesota have been giving the rest of the nation a lesson in how we resist #ICE. This is how we do it. This is the template for how we #Resist.

It's been 1 year of increasing fascism but the horror thus far is just the beginning. At the very least we should expect years of low-intensity civil war.

Prepare for long-term #GeneralStrike:
- Save money
- Set meetings with your neighbors, build block-based #selfdefense
- Get on #Signal, set-up groups

This.

This is why I focus on food.

This is why I'm building apparatus and infrastructure for me and my neighbors to have free food. Post-scarcity food.

It isn't "being kind". It isn't "out of the goodness of my heart" or "altruism". Or any other dismissive infantilization. (I do care. People should be kind. We *can* take care of each other out of love and support and we should! But I fucking hate that dismissive bullshit attitude from folks who idealize greed and power and oppression).

I build mutual aid to remove the leverage of those that exploit and harm others.

Here is a perfect example of what I am fighting: ICE is using starving kids - a situation they and the people that deploy them have intentionally created - to kidnap and exploit kids.

If everyone was fed, they couldn't use this leverage. (If everyone had universal healthcare, corporations would lose one more means of exploitation. Et cetera, et al.)

Food is power dynamics.
To be fed is to be free.

How #ICE use of #TearGas in #Minnesota causes serious harm

https://sahanjournal.com/health/ice-minneapolis-tear-gas-dangerous-health-effects/

> ICE’s “less lethal” weapons, including tear gas and pepper spray pellets, have serious health impacts, experts say. One #Minneapolis family’s infant lost consciousness after exposure.

Re #liamramos, a story from the past, with some similarities

My father Francesco ("Chino") was born in 1922 in Italy.

In 1940 the fascist government sent him a letter requiring him to enroll in the military for WW2. He didn't and hid.

A fascists' squad went to his home and took his younger brother Togno (10) until my father turned himself in.

They sent him to a correctional camp. He fled and became a partisan leader against fascism.

Dear Senator / Representative --

We learned Wednesday that a secret memo claims ICE has the authority to invade our homes without a judicial warrant, that an administrative warrant is sufficient.

New ICE hires and those still in training are being told to follow the memo’s guidance instead of written training materials that actually protect our 4th Amendment rights, according to the whistleblower disclosure.

The Associated Press witnessed ICE officers ramming through the front door of the home of a Liberian man in Minneapolis on Jan. 11 with only an administrative warrant, wearing heavy tactical gear and with their rifles drawn.

ICE is effectively throwing citizens in jail, destroying the doors to their homes, breaking the windows out of their cars.

It is unconscionable to give ICE an additional $18 billion. Vote no on their budget appropriation.

Then investigate these Constitutional violations and impeach everyone responsible for them.

"Anishinaabe-owned Heart Berry made an ICE OUT shirt, from which 100% of the profits will go to the Immigrant Defense Network, a statewide coalition of many orgs"

“I think to myself, like, here’s a mother going to work, dropping off their child—who will see them being kidnapped? Who will see who will report them missing…. And so that moment, it was that calling, that this is why we do what we do"
