#Signalboost #Minneapolis This fundraiser for a local activist targeted by our occupying federal forces for objecting to them murdering people is still a few hundred bucks from making its goal, if you’re in a place to help out. https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-miriam-recover-from-legal-fees-and-lost-work

almost three weeks ago, my girlfriend and i were violently abducted by ICE. since then, I have been doxxed by Pam Bondi, and I am concerned for my safety. posting publicly about this is obviously a decision I had to weigh carefully, but I am hoping more good comes of it than bad.

Some people have described the movement against police and white supremacy that emerged into the public eye in May 2020 as a "failure" because it didn't win legislative changes.
But the Twin Cities have been able to stand up to ICE because of networks that developed at that time.
Changing a system that exists to perpetrate oppression is the work of decades. What is needed is not a minor reform that can be implemented by politicians, but the kind of structural change that requires long-term grassroots struggle.

The sad duality here is that the #minneapolis resistance now is possible because of the networks developed in 2020.... but the resistance now has been necessary because so many opted to play legislative games rather than follow the lead of the May 28 Rebels.

Council President Elliott Payne said there’s nothing more urgent than what’s happening in Minneapolis now.
“This is going to impact our city for years to come,” he said. “This is about the future of democracy. Our bond rating will be irrelevant if we are in outright civil war.“

Solid practical advice here from a leading anti-ICE organizer in Minneapolis. "How to block ICE in your city."

Minneapolis organizers have accomplished remarkable things. The highest form of respect you can pay them is to learn from them.

the feds had amassed 35,000 weapons in Minneapolis, intended for protesters, not for immigration enforcement: Grenades, shells, tear gas, pepper spray, etc
“Fucking overkill,” a homeland security official said of the inventory. “I’ve never seen this amount of shit being used.”

Some lessons from trying to thwart #ICE in #Minneapolis for people in other cities:
1. Go out and meet your neighbors now. The threat of ICE coming is a great excuse and truly the growing solidarity is the best thing to come of all this.
