I honestly wonder how much of this is deeply psychological for Vance, the inability to reconcile that people can love their neighbors so much when his own mother abandoned him.
Vance in MN: "It's really cold outside. We in the Trump administration want to deport criminal aliens who are sex offenders. It takes a certain level of committed to sex offender criminal aliens to stand outside in -40 temperatures and attack the vice president, but they're committed to the bit."

"In October of 2025, Amazon's Ring announced its partnership with FLOCK, an A.I. surveillance group that freely shares its footage with ICE, the secret service, and the navy. Flock customers can use A.I. tools to sift through footage to assist in all manner of operations (like raids and deportations) without a warrant. Unplug Ring! Melt ICE! Protect your neighbors!

Neat that we still had a concentration camp available.
This is surreal. 4 Oglala Lakota men kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis have finally been located. One of them was released but the other 3 are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp used to imprison Native people incl. the Dakota 38 during Dakota Wars.

A citizen.
Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold.
"We're from the United States bro!' he screamed.
Agents took and sold his phone
And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

I haven't been to a Target in over a year. I haven't been to a Starbucks in 2 years. I haven't seen the inside of a Walmart in almost 30 years. I haven't been to a Chik Filet in 10 years. I cancelled my Amazon Prime account 2 years ago. Boycotting is easier than you think.
Remember, the only reason they are able to operate at #Target is because Target allows it. Do not shop at Target.
We just chased off ICE from taking 2 young men by our public housing high rise and then immediately ran off another convoy from the target at the Quarry. Activity is very high today, we need people out patrolling and protecting their neighbors defend612.com

Immigration has always been a major source of Chicago's growth. The decline from 1960-1990 coincided with immigration stagnation, and the post-90s stabilization is largely due to a new wave of immigrants.

this seems specifically designed to break mail-in voting (where deadlines are defined by postmark)
As of 12/24/25, USPS changed policy on when they postmark mail. Mail dropped off is no longer guaranteed a same-day postmark. Tax returns & other time-sensitive items are now stamped when they reach a regional processing center, which may be days later. Plan deadlines accordingly to avoid penalties.
