It's Going Down
It's Going Down
@igd_news@kolektiva.social  ·  activity timestamp 2 days ago

Folks in Minneapolis are setting up 'block party' style traffic blockades in order to prevent ICE from brutalizing and murdering people.

Check out their account on BlueSky (does not require log-in). Look here: https://bsky.app/profile/minneapolis-spring.bsky.social

"Twin Cities rapid responders have set up a "filter blockade" at 34th and Cedar and are calling for volunteers and donations. This is a new tactic developing over the last week: community is allowed to pass, but ICE agents are stopped/slowed before they can terrorize our neighbors.

These blockades are a beautiful experiment in improvised community defense. They are easy to start with just a couple friends, and whatever you have lying around.

Let's make the Twin Cities impassible to ICE and all supporting forces."

Good and evil do not rest upon a dime, they rest upon you, and which side you choose.

I can only beg that this time you choose humanity."
