A mother in Minneapolis rushed to perform CPR on her 6-month-old baby after federal immigration agents deployed a chemical agent near her car, leading all six of her children to be taken to the hospital. This isn’t the first time kids have been on the receiving end of ICE's chemical weapons.

ICE's tear gas sent a 6-month-old to the hospital, the latest in an alarming pattern

Federal agents' use of chemical weapons has hurt children at immigration raids, while walking down their block, and in their schools.

every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s

“Lifeless… foam around his mouth. Nobody wants to see their kids like that.” ICE attacked a family trying to LEAVE the besieged neighborhood and hospitalized a 6 month old baby that couldn’t breathe.

This is surreal. 4 Oglala Lakota men kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis have finally been located. One of them was released but the other 3 are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp used to imprison Native people incl. the Dakota 38 during Dakota Wars. ictnews.org/news/north-c...

Saint Paul schools will be closed Tuesday and Wednesday to prepare for optional online learning. I’ve seen schools close for snow, for pandemic, for natural disaster. I’ve never seen schools close because of threat from our own government.

This is appalling: Top DOJ officials are actively pushing for a criminal investigation into the widow of Renee Good, leading prosecutors to quit en masse, NYT is reporting. Who in the White House ordered DOJ to do this? That's the next thing to establish.

… a police report will significantly improve our ability to hold wrong-doers accountable—criminally and/or civilly. Every local police department should have a standard operating procedure for responding to calls for assistance related to immigration enforcement.

persons are taken into custody by ICE, to confirm the location of detention 5) to file a formal police report, and 6) if alleged ICE agents cannot provide proof that they are federal agents, to make an arrest for commission of a crime Local LE may not be able to stop the detention, but…

The first thing everyone should do the moment ICE appears is call 911 and ask them to immediately send an officer(s) to the scene to: 1) confirm the identity of the individuals claiming to be ICE agents 2) confirm the legal authority for the stop/seizure 3) to maintain order 4) if any…

"The question that you're basically asking is, can our cops arrest them? From a legal perspective, yes. From a practical perspective...they have bigger guns than we do." That's where we're at. Look out for @mayorjacobfrey.bsky.social on today's Bulwark Podcast with @timmiller.bsky.social!

Ok, I couldn't stop thinking about this. Apologies to the literally dozens of people I've lifted from... I want to do a fully credited version, but I'm sitting here sobbing and, well, maybe you'll feel some release, too.

I am begging Democratic leadership to recognize that funding and legitimizing your authoritarian opponent’s secret police is a bad idea. This should not be a difficult concept.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

More from the party of federalism: "the states are merely an agent for the federal government in counting and tabulating the votes. They must do what the federal government, as represented by the president of the United States, tells them, for the good of the country, to do."

Yesterday Elon Musk retweeted "white solidarity is the only way to survive".

Donald Trump’s approach to the world is not the isolationism that many of his supporters celebrated when he returned to office—it’s “a narcissistic form of unilateralism that says, loudly, I can do whatever I want, whenever and however I want to do it,” @sbg1.bsky.social writes.

The most enlightening and disappointing thing to come out of this ICE shooting is that the right legitimately does not give a fuck about human life if it harms their political narrative. Watching people malign a 37 year old mother for being murdered by her country is insane.

Not a single U. S. cable news station mentioned Trump lifting sanctions on Russian military suppliers last week. I don't think ANY of the corporate media did. tass.com/world/2061255

"Iron laws of the world"? Some of America's most important national accomplishments are about leading humanity away from this kind of bullshit. If we let ideologues like Stephen Miller drag us back into a world where brute force is all that matters, all of us will be less safe.
