Do not comply in advance. So much about this is really effed up

In January, Paigelynne Gonyea posted about the immigration surge in Minneapolis. This week, she was visited by ICE officials who claimed one of her posts had doxxed a federal agent.

A new federal indictment has charged 15 Minnesotans in an 8-count felony conspiracy for their activism during Operation Metro Surge. The indictment calls many of the defendants anarchists and antifascists, both descriptors named as “terror groups” in the latest White House counterterrorism strategy.

I have to do another video on the reflective pool debacle. They are trying to say it was sabotaged by the left. They are unable to see a flaw in their God king. The Trump administration dumped hydrogen peroxide to kill the algae and it stripped the paint.

STATEMENT by Gov. Mikie Sherrill: "My request for access to Delaney Hall was formally denied this morning, raising serious questions about what they are trying to hide from public view." "In New Jersey, we believe in the rule of law and that everyone deserves to be treated with basic dignity."

This week, the House passed the Don’t Say Trans bill (& pushed forward the CHARLIE Act) All 209 Republicans & Dem Reps Fields (LA), Davis (NC), Gillen (NY), Kaptur (OH), Cuellar & González (TX), Vindman (VA) & MGP (WA) have betrayed their constituents by voting for this hateful piece of legislation

BREAKING: Harry Dunn and Daniel Hodges, two law enforcement officers who clashed with Jan. 6 insurrectionists, have sued to block the Trump 'slush fund'. They're asking a federal judge to find the creation of the fund illegal and reverse any transfers that Treasury has made to DOJ to implement it.

Praying for those murdered today in their place of worship and for San Diego’s entire Muslim community. We must all stand united to reject such violence and stand against hate in every form.

HUGE NEWS: ICE’s courthouse arrests have been STAYED by a New York district judge. That means that ICE will have to stop arresting our immigrant neighbors on the spot when they show up to court at places like 26 Federal Plaza, 290 Broadway, and 201 Varick. (1/2)

NEW: As Enbridge pushes forward on Line 5 pipeline re-route construction despite lacking key permits, it's blasting through ancient bedrock and wetlands without prior knowledge of exactly where and threatening treaty-protected wild rice beds and cannot credibly claim otherwise. [Story at website]

Vanguard is the #1 toxic investor, investing $182 billion in 34 major petrochemical expansion projects in the U.S. 💸 As this research was being released nationally and shared in a press conference in TX, we went to Vanguard’s HQ in PA to bring the research and our demands to its front door.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress beforehand, or our allies, or coherently explain to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop this.

A string of violent incidents involving U.S. immigration agents in Minneapolis has prompted Vermont officials & local organizers to prepare in case a similar enforcement surge is aimed at them. Vermont forbids police departments from collaborating with federal immigration authorities.

The last time he started talking like this, his allies minimized the risks and we ended up with January 6. This time we must take him literally and seriously. These comments are a five-alarm fire for democracy. In a functioning republic, he would be impeached and removed from office today.

That’s my city! Go Birds!

Way to go, Philadelphia! The city has introduced new legislation putting real limits on ICE activity. Federal agents will no longer be allowed to operate anonymously no masks, visible identification required, and arrests must be backed by warrants signed by a federal judge.

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social

ICE secretly told its officers that any time someone has been ordered removed, ICE can break down their door. It has been accepted for generations that the only thing which can authorize agents to break into your home is a warrant signed by a judge. No wonder ICE hid this memo!

Alt National Park Service@altnps.bsky.social

The order prohibits retaliation, arrests without probable cause, the use of pepper spray or crowd-control weapons, and vehicle stops made without reasonable suspicion. It also makes clear that simply monitoring or following ICE from a safe distance does not justify a stop or detention.
