We’re going to continue being out there and patrolling to protect our neighbors until every single last agent is gone. We’re also going to keep this connection going and continue building community for long after whenever this operation ends.

You voted for the Laken Riley Act @repangiecraig.bsky.social.
MINNESOTA Rep. @angiecraigmn.bsky.social : “They are still racially profiling… Dems need to hold the line. The senate needs to hold the line. I will not forgive anyone who doesn’t stand their ground at this moment in time, and I don’t think the 🇺🇸 people will either.”

We in #Minneapolis said from the VERY BEGINNING that #ICE was lying, that their statements were fabricated. Its what they do. We know better here. They called the death of #GeorgeFloyd a result of a "Medical Incident". NEVER trust anything that Law Enforcement says in a release, EVER. #TheOccupation

Body shaming and ableism are not and will never be woke, and this is the problem with not understanding the difference between how Black folks talk to each other and how the right co-opted a term for their own purposes.

man ... lying under oath really ought to be a crime, you know?
The acting director of ICE told Congress, under oath, that local law enforcement in Colorado leaked raid plans, allowing gang members to escape.

After 9NEWS questioned ICE's claim and its timeline, ICE deleted the claim from its social media platforms.

Its pretty pathetic that the "goal differential" is part of the calculation for the seeding for #Olympics #Hockey so it encourages running up the score on opponents. Not very sportsmanlike. If you're already ahead by 5 goals, you really don't need to rub their faces in the ice.

Frankly I can't believe every country didn't do this after that first term where he had a private meeting with Putin that wasn't transcribed, or after the North Korean visit. Its been one big threat & grift ever since.

I should have tried planting snowdrops this year now that we are zone 5 they would probably work, if the voles, squirrels & bunnies didn't get them #DamnVarmints 🌱 #mnwx
You can find more than just trees in the forest. Snowdrops make an appearance every year.

Who first read "Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" at age 12

I have no problem calling them concentration camps

And neither does @hcrichardson.bsky.social

They fit the dictionary definition

How about that tv person checks themselves in for a month with no contact with anyone, and then let them continue to argue whether or not they are concentration camps!
I just heard someone say on TV that use of the term "concentration camps" to describe ICE facilities was "very strong language."
I think ICE's concentration camps are very strong abuses of human rights.

Cambridgeshire as a Saxon–Viking frontier was brutal. This execution pit beneath a peaceful country park may be the evidence. Cambridge students at a training dig expected pottery shards, not evidence of mass killing.

It’s been a heartbreak watching transphobia turn people’s brains to jelly. A 50-something gay man insisted, “I played with a Barbie doll as a kid. Nowadays they’d insist I was a girl and force me to transition!!!”
No. That’s not a thing that happens.
