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.

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

Nothing you are hearing about this city is true If it’s coming from national level sources, we still have fascist terror squads breaking into homes illegally we have warrantless searches going on and mass convoys of masked fascist terrorizing every moment of the day.
I’m on the scene at Franklin and 1st. A convoy of about a couple dozen ICE/HSI agents broke the entryway into an apartment building at 6am. No warrant presented. Less than 24 hours ago, Tom Homan announced the end of large convoys in Minnesota… Bullshit.

There is no way to really separate these two parts of the Minnesota occupation (the ethnic cleansing and the ideological terror). Both of these two things are central to how ICE operates, so we’re going to see Homan saying how ICE is normalizing to make everyone forget about the ideological terror.
Something I've been trying to impart on people is that the ICE occupation in Minnesota is both an ethnic cleansing and an ideological terror campaign. It's clear that the second part has utterly failed; the community is not terrified. But ICE is now desperately trying to salvage the first part.

EVERYBODY: Abolish ICE!

DEMOCRATS: How about we ask ICE to take off their masks instead?

ICE: No, fuck off.

DEMOCRATS: At least wear them in a fashionable manner.

Doesn’t this feel like the high-low strategy in retail? Where they raise the price just to sell at discounted price that is more than it started at.
With the immediate removal of 700 federal agents from Minnesota, border czar Tom Homan put the total number of agents remaining in the state at approximately 2,000.

That’s still a dramatic increase from the normal immigration and enforcement staffing in Minnesota of around 150 agents.

My mom lives in South Minneapolis and posted this tiny ICE Out sign because my sister objected to her posting a large one.

My sister is worried about my mom being targeted and her health isn’t good enough to deal with agents. However, I think every little bit of protest is good.

This afternoon, federal agents returned to Powderhorn Park. There were 4 ICE vehicles staging at Powderhorn Park Recreation Center lot. This is a clear violation of city and park board policy. 1/

This morning, federal agents staged at the Powderhorn Park Recreation Center lot and began to throw chemical irritants at observers. They also kidnapped an observer. Our parks are meant for our children, youth, and neighbors. They should never be militarized zones meant to separate families. 1/

Today, in a company wide meeting, one of the hosts said they used copilot to add up how many years everyone on the stage had.

They used copilot as a calculator. I am sure it is because they have a huge push to use AI but it is ridiculous.

MSP bars offering free drinks to the heroes of the ICE wars is exactly the energy we need right now. Fuck ICE, our heroes drink theirs straight and for free.
You walk into this bar and show your ICE mugshot, you don't pay a dime.
Scrolling through the photos of Pam Bondi's "Minnesota rioters," it's just hero after hero. Every photo includes a cowardly DHS agent with their back to the camera.

Bondi thinks she's going to win the propaganda war with this shit, but it's never been more clear that they're losing.
