Indivisible Twin Cities Statement On Negotiating With ICE There is no such thing as coincidences

Really appreciate this statement from Indivisible Twin Cities. Don't get hoodwinked about a possible ICE pullout. The damage has been extraordinary. There needs to be accountability.

Bitter Winter For the past several years Minnesotans have turned to each other in March, shaking their heads and saying, β€œno winter again this year”.

We need ICE OUT of Minnesota.

They need to repair and restore what they have broken.

Then we need to rip ICE apart.

I swear this clip is not edited. Trump pivots from downplaying the killing of Renee Good and Alex Pretti ("two people out of tens of thousands and you get bad publicity") to in the very next breath claiming "we've been very tough on the waters," leaving Tom Llamas baffled ("the waters?")

In Minnesota, ICE is making us all less safe.

β€˜He is My Lungs’: Disabled Man Hospitalized After ICE Detains Caregiver Father Maher Tarabishi has spent much of his life in the U.S. serving as a caregiver for his son. In October, he was arrested by ICE.

ICE jailed a father whose only β€œcrime” is caring for his disabled son who nearly died without him. This is not immigration enforcement. It’s state-sanctioned cruelty.

Major Leeg (@majorleeg) This is the pic of Donald Trump on Epstein's plane with a child. This is the pic the DOJ deleted yesterday. Now they want to scrub this from the Internet. Share this everywhere.

I don't usually indulge in posts with djt because it would eat up my life and distract from the work, but this made me stop in my tracks and feel sick. Please share.

OMG, priceless.
"Yesterday, White House officials suggested they would never be able to release October’s jobs report or inflation numbers, blaming the Democrats. They did, however, claim that prices are β€œbeginning to drop,” citing DoorDash, the delivery platform, as their source."

When we act with courage and conviction,
We remember them.

When we face decisions that are difficult,
We remember them.

When we are tempted to compromise our principles,
We remember them.

When we recognize the dignity and humanity of all people
We remember them.

When we are weary and in need of strength,
We remember them.

When we are lost and sick at heart,
We remember them.

When we weep with despair for the world of war and conflict,
We remember them.

When we have joy we crave to share,
We remember them.

Remembering Paul & Sheila Wellstone, Marcia, Mary, Tom and Will (10/25/22)

At the rising of the sun and its going down,
We remember them.

At the beginning of the year and when it ends,
We remember them.

When the buds burst forth in color and the leaves fall from the trees,
We remember them.

If ICE thinks it's okay to assault a pastor in broad daylight, imagine what they're doing in the dark.

Showing up to work to avoid a shutdown is apparently a minimum threshold Republicans can’t be bothered to meet.

Extra! Extra! 8/31 🎈🎈 Yes, good things are STILL happening!

Indivisible Twin Cities' action at the Minnesota State Fair is featured in Jessica Craven's newsletter. We're so grateful for the 150 volunteers who stood in front of the Republican booth for 66 hours talking to hundreds people. We won't stop fighting the fascists. They will be held accountable.

Overwhelmingly positive. The Republicans are ignoring us after trying to get us kicked out. The First Amendment! Most impact with supporters who now feel less alone and more clear how to take action. One Vietnam vet today told us he fought to defend the Constitution, not destroy it. He's enraged.
