First: this is justifiable behavior and will be seen as nothing short of heroic by most people. Second: it has nothing whatsoever to do with the encounter in which unnamed federal occupiers murdered him. We all saw it.
MUST WATCH: Footage of an a man who looks like Alex Pretti with a gun in his waistband, spitting on and attacking federal law enforcement officers and kicking the tail light of their vehicle on January 13. Bombshell report from the BBC. Important context: Pretti was not a

in a world of climate disasters—caused by the burning of fossil fuels—the freedom of movement is the most important of all basic rights.
HUGE UPDATE: we confronted Congressman Tom Suozzi. He is one of seven Democrats casting the decisive votes to increase ICE funding by $10,000,000,000. Hideous, grotesque, fascist-loving coward, this man has blood on his hands. We will not forgive and we will not forget.

twin cities rapid responders continue to innovate. if ICE occupiers want to continue moving rapidly through town, they will have to pass through a maze of checkpoints set up by neighborhood defenders, run for and by community volunteers.

Another noise demo is planned for the Graduate Hotel tonight, where ICE agents are said to have been staying. Tonight will be at least the third protest at the hotel, which is frequented by students at the U of MN. Here's our video of the first demo at the hotel, held Jan. 13.

How to make anti–tear gas/pepper spray wipes for freezing conditions.
The regime needs to pivot away from Mpls due to widespread metro-wide resistance to ICE/CBP operations since December. They invaded Twin Cities on false premise of "fraud investigations." Now they are manufacturing consent for an invasion of metro Atlanta.

My 85-yr-old mother lives in assisted living in Brooklyn Center (a modest suburb of Mpls). She tells me all the time that she wishes she could be out on the streets right now. If you are outside in Mpls right now, just be aware that there is a frail old woman with heart failure +

Just hours after reports emerged that CBP commander Greg Bovino would be leaving Minnesota imminently, anti-ICE activists, along with other members of the community, gathered outside Bovino’s hotel. Several law enforcement agencies, including Minnesota State Troopers, county

ICE and local police are a threat to our community.
🚨 ON-THE-GROUND REPORTS CONFIRMED: Multiple independent videos show ICE agents and police deploying tear gas near a Minneapolis preschool during enforcement operations. This isn’t rumor or spin. It’s footage from the scene. Children were present. Families were nearby. This is

if all of the Border Patrol agents leave the Twin Cities, that leaves 2,000+ ICE agents who will continue terrorizing our communities.

The feds never left Los Angeles. Don't forget us. Solidarity with Minneapolis and all communities under siege by federal pigs.
Federal pigs were swarming all over south central yesterday. Terrorizing the masses. I’m sure it’s going on in so many cities and towns all over.

Thousands of people are too afraid to go to work. Twin Cities needs an eviction moratorium.

Did Mayor Frey and Gov Walz make a deal with Trump? Did they agree to turn against the city in exchange for Bovino and a few hundred feds?

We are winning. Don't stop now.
Bovino out is a great indicator. It’s a great start. But none of us can be appeased right now. It’s still abolish ICE. It’s still prosecute these fascists. It’s still destroy the whole apparatus that has been terrorizing and disappearing and murdering our neighbors.

Border Patrol is still terrorizing Los Angeles, by the way. Now is indeed a time to celebrate all of our strength, as a city, and as a movement. But it is also a time to push harder and with even less compromises. They are up against the ropes. The facade is cracking.
