- Reposted by Sheena (she/her/they)Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

- Reposted by Sheena (she/her/they)We know the names of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. But 6 others were killed by ICE or died in their custody this year: Luis Gustavo Núñez Cáceres, Geraldo Lunas Campos, Víctor Manuel Díaz, Parady La, Luis Beltrán Yáñez–Cruz, and Heber Sánchez Domínguez. They deserve justice.

- Reposted by Sheena (she/her/they)I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free
- Reposted by Sheena (she/her/they)This is Minneapolis. Collective trauma, and neighbors helping neighbors. This is our 24/7 every day lives right now, not just a 10 second news clip.

- Reposted by Sheena (she/her/they)please remember that no matter how many “ICE is losing in MN” articles you read today, there is still a very real, urgent, ongoing crisis in Minnesota. people need food and they need rent money. that has not changed.
- Reposted by Sheena (she/her/they)On Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember the six million Jewish people murdered by the Nazis, as well as countless other victims. We honor their lives by rejecting the evils of antisemitism, dehumanization, and authoritarian violence wherever they appear. Never again means never again for anyone.
- Oh, Miller's time is coming too. Don't you worry, Kristi. DISCLAIMER I am referring to loss of job and status based on his own actions. Nothing else is intended or implied.
- Reposted by Sheena (she/her/they)A lot of Dems are going to take Bovino and Noem being fired as the finish line, and it's very important to make it clear to them that it is a starting line
- Reposted by Sheena (she/her/they)As a VA nurse, Alex Pretti was a member of AFGE. This union also reps Border Patrol, and may have repped Pretti's killer. I talked to VA workers who are furious and want Border Patrol out of AFGE. "For a union member to kill another is a fundamental betrayal of what a union is supposed to be.”

- Reposted by Sheena (she/her/they)I mostly just stay off Twitter altogether but after double checking that the Walter Hudson post was still up I ran across this and just had to share so the Romancelandians who bought hand warmers could hear about the PROFESSIONAL GRADE LOGISTICS.
- Reposted by Sheena (she/her/they)Protests happen, but most of what is happening in Minneapolis isn’t protesting. More accurate terms: - observers - witnesses - volunteers - neighbors - residents - people

- Reposted by Sheena (she/her/they)Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."
- Reposted by Sheena (she/her/they)A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.
- Reposted by Sheena (she/her/they)No. They do not "appear to" contradict it. They contradict it.

- Reposted by Sheena (she/her/they)Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now
- Reposted by Sheena (she/her/they)they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.
- Reposted by Sheena (she/her/they)Yesterday, Minneapolis gave us hope. That’s what they’re trying to kill: the will of a people who are willing to fight them.
- Reposted by Sheena (she/her/they)There’s video floating around. You don’t want to watch it. News feed will be updated continuously. No paywall. www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...
- Reposted by Sheena (she/her/they)A few other quick shots from the protest:
- Reposted by Sheena (she/her/they)I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.
- Reposted by Sheena (she/her/they)Our community is in peril. Our neighbors need our help in this time of ICE presence and subzero temperatures. Mpls has a shortage of available shelter for residents, and our city govt has not developed adequate resources to humanely house people. Please support MIWRC in this time of emergency.

- Reposted by Sheena (she/her/they)Lmfao 😂 Jake Lang is experiencing the finding out phase in Minneapolis.
- Reposted by Sheena (she/her/they)It's a shame more white men over 35 aren't yelling at them then. Get to work.

- Reposted by Sheena (she/her/they)Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

- Reposted by Sheena (she/her/they)We are in fact DESPERATE for winter coats, waterproof gloves, and good boots. We get so many wonderful donations but it is so cold and the numbers of unhoused unsheltered people are going up at the absolute worst time for it, and we run out of coats weekly.
