Defend 612

@defend612.bsky.social

Supporting community resistance to the current ICE occupation in Minnesota by connecting neighbors, sharing resources, and documenting. Only @defend612.bsky.social and @defend612 on X.com are really us.

At this point, I don't think the democratic party platform is even about trying to turn centrist voters so much as convincing republican legislators be nice to them.

ICE is now posing as bail agents. If you are approached by someone claiming to be a bail agent, you have the right to ask to see their license and state-issued ID & bond documentation authorizing them to take the person. Minnesota maintains a statewide list of approved bail bond agents online.

Daily reminder: There are still patrols. They are still taking people. They smashed into a car near me and just took the driver after demanding papers from everyone. This is not over. It is still ethnic cleansing. ABOLISH ICE

I grew up in the northeast; went to school there and then decided to raise my family somewhere friendly with less pressure on the kids So with razor sharp instincts, we settled in minnesota thinking we would be far from newsworthy action

This is not "Immigration Policy." This is not "Law enforcement." This is not "Keeping the Peace." This is what ethnic cleansing looks like. CALL IT BY WHAT IT IS, MEDIA. History will remember who did not have the spine to call this out.

”I am a prisoner in my apartment,” said the 30-year-old North St. Paul resident. “I am hiding in the shadows, not because I have committed a crime, but because the streets of Minnesota have begun to look terrifyingly similar to the war zone I escaped.” www.startribune.com/minnesota-re...

@defend612.bsky.social is a wonderful resource for those trying to help. You know what else would help? More eyes on ICE in Minneapolis. After shooting Alex, they still did their patrols and still took people for quota. So if you have clout, please for the love of democracy, head to MN and help.
