People need to realize there is no objective federal law enforcement anymore. You are investigated and punished solely because you crossed the regime.
Welcome to the world of selective enforcement, a hallmark of autocratic and hybrid governments. It doesn't matter if the underlying investigation has validity. Because the probe is not about the rule of law, but rather the concentration of wealth and power in the hands of allies of the regime.

As it probes bids for Warner, the department is asking if the streamer has engaged in conduct that could make it a monopoly.

We’ve got less than $300 to go. Anything that comes in over $2400 will go toward the next rent campaign.
Hi all. I’m working with @ziibiing.com at standwithminnesota.com to get rents paid for Minnesota families impacted by ICE as soon as possible.

I’m barnraising $2400 for one campaign. I’ll chip in $25.

Please chip in and share this need:

Chris Madel is the lawyer of Jonathan Ross, the ICE agent who murdered Renee Good.
Chris Madel: "The president posted something on Truth Social saying it was a time of reckoning and retribution on the citizens of my state, and I've seen that happen and I cannot be a part of it, and I can't be a part of a party that's a part of that"

I keep thinking about something that people on so many sides of this have pointed out: the protests in Minnesota worked because of on-the-ground organization that built on existing, off-line connections. This should be tremendously instructive to all of us.

This is BRILLIANT. Hell yes to promoting the library and reading.

As a human, this makes me happy.
As a librarian and library board member, this is such smart strategy.

Can you help us keep this Minneapolis neighbor and her family safe from ICE?

One of her daughters has been on the frontline while also working to bring back neighbors kidnapped by ICE back to Minneapolis. It’s time for us to also show up for them.

“Felt unconstitutional”?! IT FUCKING IS!!! How can you be an elected rep and not know the US FUCKING CONSTITUTION?!

I am livid every day because she’s my rep and she only defends landlords and other people with lots of $$$.

I miss Phillipe.
So watched a really fun reel on Insta of an absolute queen chasing off a reporter from News National from Renee Good’s memorial site. Then I googled News National for fun and this was the first thing that popped up. “It’s felt unconstitutional “. FELT?!? JFC, you pandering idiot.

Yes AND any victim of state violence should not need to be perfect for us to care or believe they shouldn’t be murdered.

I’m speaking specifically to fellow white folks. The “so pale we’re reflective” crew. This has been happening for decades so wake up, pay attention, and give a fuck.
The execution of Alex Pretti is playing so badly because you can look at his actions and life story - his last act was helping, boy scout, athlete, health care worker to veterans - and compare those to the men who killed him and know which you would want to be your son, brother, father, uncle.

I am just gonna say it, these guys are completely emasculated by the knowledge that they have been out-organized by a group that is significantly made up of women, and all the bullshit call of duty nonsense is cope for their wounded egos bsky.app/profile/jeet...

this is actually a very accurate report on what we're doing, except for the outside assistance and "lethal harassment" part. it's a massive, decentralized network. ICE cars enter the neighborhood, instantly pick up several tails, are logged, and are escorted out. it's hopeless. you should leave.
The rest of it is even funnier

Modern Times is a South Minneapolis staple, and a personal favorite haunt. For the duration of the occupation they're renaming themselves Post Modern Times and going to a donation-only model. Everyone but ICE can eat for free.

again. let this all radicalize you against more than just ICE, because cops have been doing this to people forever. killing innocent people in cold blood and saying they feared for their lives and getting away with it. when ICE leave, we still have them
OMG they are actually calling these “defensive shots.”

It seems clear Alex Pretti, a healthcare worker, was murdered for engaging in the exact kind of community care we hope all care workers to embody: the kind that doesn’t stop at the threshold of the hospital, the clinic, but that aims to care for and support the community where and how they can

I donated $20. Can anyone match?
This GFM has made it over 25% funded. Please continue to share and donate if that is possible for you.

This person mattered. His loss was a tragedy. Please keep his family in your heart. While we stand against tyranny, please remember the human costs we allow in our broken shelter/housing system.
Friends, this relative lost his life due to exposure in the elements last weekend. His family needs support, and this GFM is woefully underfunded.

Please consider donating if you’re able.
