You cannot claim to be restructuring city government while silencing the voices of the people. As I began to speak to the charter commission tonight on its stalled police accountability reforms, they cut the mic.
Watch the moment the Commission chose bureaucracy over the community. (1/3)

i am increasingly bothered by terms like "showdown" or "face-off" or "clash" when used to describe corrupt and fascist power coming up against resistance because there's an implied symmetry that does not exist.

Media moved on because for one hour Trump pinky-swore he was going to do his genocide in a nicer way, and every day since the people in Minnesota are showing us it looks like a war zone
This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

Today, ICE engaged in a dangerous, high-speed chase in Saint Paul. Their recklessness and disdain for the safety of our residents led directly to a multi-car collision, even if ICE vehicles weren't the ones to hit other cars.

Notice how the popular media narrative has moved on, while people on the ground in Minneapolis are still struggling and crying out that things are as bad as ever. This is how fascist regimes operate — overreach, recalibration, normalization. Get louder, not quieter.

After a string of ICE murders, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries proposed reforms — and $11 billion more for ICE.
Including reconciliation bill funding, the Schumer-Jeffries plan would give ICE a $30 billion budget, higher than all but 15 militaries worldwide:
