ICE shoots Hispanics and gets away with it because America lets cops shoot Black people and get away with it.

Where did you think that would lead?

As I look over the options for my instance I think at this point my only real option IS to defederate from kind.social until things change. I do not wish to have any contact and if they don't take immediate action I must to prevent any future contact.

A year of harm was plenty.

I don't think others need defed themselves its just I'm dealing with an active harassment campaign so I'm out.

This is exactly how Black people get run off of fedi.

I can keep going to court and winning. But like I've spent at this point tens of thousands of dollars due directly to your enabling of abuse.

@Texan_Reverend

please find deesclatory approaches man. this is stupid.

I'm sick and tired of the abuse kind.social is ACTIVELY enabling.

At least mastodon.social is too big to likely keep up with sock puppets.

But for crying out loud @Texan_Reverend

Can you please reign in the racists on your platform. You've been hosting a persistent harasser for over a year. You dismiss ALL complaints against them.

Do you even warn them?

People need to consider defederating Kind.Social.

Is it common practice for someone to get a restraining order THEN send the restrained person constant direct communications? Oh and egg on their followers constantly too!?

Fedi. Can we please agree this type of harassment isn't something our platforms should enable.

Reports about this type of conduct is serious. It needs to be taken seriously by mods.

IF you get a report about ppl violating restraining orders THEY sought, please take them seriously.

Highly recommend consuming two shows right now.

ICE seen this afternoon(arund 12:30) on North Capitol Hill.

Many people might hear J6 cop Fanone's encouragement for folks to embrace their 2A rights and think he's talking about some Rambo shit I really don't think that's what he's talking about.

In this clip a few ICE agents enter a McDs that has a couple armed security.

The gaurds proactively tell ICE to leave.

Throughout the encounter ICE NEVER touches them, speaks in a whisper AND left empty handed.

Unarmed guards would have been cursed at, beat and arrested along with the migrants.

The crisis facing the US is extremely serious.

A DC cop, Michael Fanone, who was nearly killed at the US Capitol on January 6th says that a couple "F" bombs and foul language from the Mayor and Governor are NOT enough to stop what's coming. Fanone retired from the force after Jan 6 bc he refused to serve with fascists sympathizers.

He predicts that Americans will have to begin excersizing their 2A rights bc strong words are not enough to stop ICE.

If the situation were clearly already out of control with respect to ICE being told by every level of local governement to leave Senator Amy Klobuchar has joined the chorus as well.

Listen carefully and you'll see that Klobuchar, just like Mayor Frey and Governor Walz is keeping an eye on the tactical situation.

They ALL are aware that their local cops are already out numbered and out gunned by ICE.

They are talking about literal battle when they talk like this.

From witness statements on the streams it appears that both state and local cops were on tap to put down the protests and took active steps to encourage the crowd to disperse.

I'm not sure why dispersal was so important. I totally get keeping the crowds out of hotel lobbies but I really think if the Mayor and Governor meant what they say they should not be attempting to disperse a simple noise demo. Even if it goes late.

In fact they should make a point to NOT protect ICE at all anymore.

Sounds like the protest has dispersed for the night.

From what I saw on streams the protest tonight in Minneapolis was very peaceful with protesters occasionally enganging in civil disobeiance by being loud in hotel lobby's.

Not that protests need to be any of those things to be valid forms of struggle against oppression.

Not long after the police lines were formed the protests resumed marching and is now several blocks away.

The local cops now seems to have to decide between guarding the ICE hotel vs tailing the protesters and it looks like they're gonna stay at the hotel and make sure those evil goons get a quite rest of their night.

Every so often a snowball is thrown at the cop line.

There is ZERO reaction from these local cops, its as if snow balls and noise demos are not a lethal threat. These cops are clearly on their absolute best behavior, its not much but compared to ICE (and local cops in 2020) these guys appear to be doing their best to not unnecessarily threaten or intimidate the crowd.

It's wild, watching ICE I fully expect everyone to get gassed for them snowballs.

The local cops appear to have just completed securing the entrances of the hotel and now are forming a road block to keep demonstrators away from the hotel.

Notably the local cops are armed primarily with knight sticks, pepper balls and other "non-lethals" (they still dangerous tho).

So far I've seen no local cops carrying rifles.

It sounds like the crowd became aware that the local cops were arriving right as the hotel side door was opened.

The vast majority of the crowd felt it was a trap and sounds like the local police did not have to physically remove anyone from the hotel bc the crowd had heads up they were about to get kettled.

#BeWater

When the stream resumed the citizen journalists were outside of the hotel facing off with local MPLS riot cops.

The local cops are now threatening to forcefully disperse the noise protests.

The local cops are now protecting ICE, as predicted.

The crowd is now curse out the local cops and saying the are supporting ICE too much.

The 2 and half hour long live stream I had been watching just ended abruptly with this as the last frame.

Protesters appear to have been let in a side door and several have filed in.

They encountered two closed (but unclocked doors) and debated entering further.

Some young boys can be heard warning the crowd that their could be ICE cops on the other side setting a trap and most exited. Many others took their place then the streamer ended the stream likely to protect ppl's identities.

Watching live streams, the scene at the entrance to the ICE hotel is noisy af.

The crowd is peaceful but LOUD, they have shown a ton of respect for the hotel security personnel.

Bands and drummers filtered through the crowd to setup shop right in the doorway.

After a bit an ICE cop emerged at the door to stand with security and crowd got a LOT less friendly.

(apologies, my screencap didn't catch audio)
