if they did irony or shame, it would occur to wingnuts that for all their Jan 6 cosplay about liberty, it is a bunch of liberal grandmas and aunties in Minnesota who are really willing to stand up to tyranny from the government. But we know theirs is not a legit values philosophy

This article is a very good example of why "more training" and "more vetting" isn't the answer. Jesus Ochoa and Raymundo Gutierrez joined Border Patrol in 2018 and 2014 respectively. These aren't new agents. www.propublica.org/article/alex...

It is Sunday, a good day to remember, there are people supposedly on your side actively trying to get you to forget your thoughtful, evidence-based realization that abolishing ICE is the only smart and prudent thing to do. Happy Sunday.

You’re describing an emergency. The world is also watching you and waiting for you to do something.
Are you going to establish an eviction moratorium? Rent is due today.

They’re taking kids from Minnesota and sending them to detention camps. They’re shooting American citizens in the street and locking investigators out of the crime scenes. The world is watching what happens next.

CBP has a history of excessive force. Critics say they were unprepared for Minnesota

I love my neighbors when they get awakened, even when I know some of the stuff they said in the past. Just begging yall be consistent, dont backslide when we call for analogues, all the ways we take care of one another, all the so called radical ways not related to this crisis in particular.
Minneapolis should press its momentum and demand not only withdrawal but start talking about the need for immediate reparations, loudly, with the total certainty that only winners have. "You have wronged us terribly and must pay recompense" and let them argue the second part.

We have trying to tell people in other parts of the country that this is an occupation straight up. And they tend to think we are exaggerating- or its hyperbole. Nope, straight up ICE and Border Patrol view Minnesotans as a population that must be suppressed.
"In theater" is a military term that refers to a wartime theater of operations. ICE and CBP agents are in Minnesota, which is one of the United States. The enemy in this military operation are citizens of Minnesotans and the United States.
Q: Can you be specific about how many ICE and CBP agents are currently operating in the state?
HOMAN: 3,000. There's been some rotations. They've been in theater a long time. Day after day, can't eat in restaurants, people spin on you, blowing whistles at you. But my main focus now is draw down

While glad to see Bovino humbled, I really don’t have any higher opinion of Homan—a cruel, cold, corrupt, calculating bureaucrat who’s devoted more of his career to mass deportation than almost anyone. He’s the architect of child separation.
