The fact that people in DC circles both seem to think calling for the abolition of ICE is "mostly symbolic" and also refuse to do it because of an entirely fictional wonky complexity they have invented in their head is part of the fucking problem.

In addition to abolishing ICE and criminal investigations, we need to think about reparations for those who survive being brutalized by the regime.

I would suggest, at a minimum, permanent legal status for anyone injured or detained for more than 24 hours regardless of criminal background.

Ben. Shapiro. The guy who can't get his wife wet. The guy who needs an old person to open the pickle jar for him.

Gavin Newsom being an utter little bitch and backing down from calling fascistic ICE agents "terrorists".

Gavin Newsom has never had a homeless, a working unhoused, or an affordable housing advocate on his podcast despite governing California.

So yeah I think it’s weird that he’s entertained & platformed multiple fascists while grinning, nodding & relenting to their easily defeatable talking points.

Yes please! This is what Gov Walz should’ve been announcing last night, not “good luck with your mutual aid & whistles.”

Elliott Payne @elliottpayne.org · 17h

Today the Minneapolis City Council unanimously passed a resolution calling on Governor Walz to enact an eviction moratorium to keep Minneapolis families in their homes to protect them from ICE.

Holy shit.

Renee Good was alive when the bystander physician asked to check her pulse. She was alive when ICE refused to let him help. She was alive when they told him “I don’t care.”

As WSJ calls Mamdani a "communist" for suggesting that the wealthiest pay tax rates that are still lower than they were under Eisenhower, Trump is engaged in bona fide communism by forcing state ownership of major commercial ventures. Here's yet another one.

🚨 Everyone in Minnesota!! You need this DHS PSA:

You should NOT POUR WATER ON THE GROUND TO FREEZE BY ICE VEHICLES so the goons slip.

REPEAT: DO NOT MAKE TREACHEROUS ICE SLIDES WHERE GOONS WILL BE WALKING!!!

DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin on "acts of violence" against ICE agents in Minnesota: "Pouring water on the ground so that it would freeze the ground in front of our federal law enforcement vehicles so that they would potentially slide, crash, and potentially kill them"

Have had the unfortunate experience of watching broadcast all day. Insanity inducing to watch the coverage of last night ("they threw water bottles!").

Heavily armed men attacked an entire neighborhood. People only smashed cars *after* feds had left the area and poisoned blocks of family homes.

It’d be a real shame if our nation’s noble ethnic cleansers came down with a mass epidemic of explosive diarrhea from some bad food they all ate. I hope the people making their food take extra care to prevent that from happening.

One of the stories that makes me the saddest out of this ICE invasion is one out of the Minnesota Star Tribune today about ICE agents eating at a little Mexican restaurant in the small town of Willmar, Minn, —and then, when they were done, arresting some of the workers.
