So fucking predictable to anyone with half a brain.

They murdered Renee Good to try to incite violence. When it didn’t happen they INCITED VIOLENCE and are attempting to use ICE’S VIOLENCE AGAINST AMERICANS as a pretense for martial law.

REPUBLICANS ARE ABSOLUTE ACCOMPLICES IN THIS MOMENT.

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness.

You could be next.

Just so people outside of MN know - a lot of the US citizens getting “arrested” by ICE never get processed at Whipple. They are roughed up during the arrest and then often dropped off miles from where they were picked up. It means we don’t know the true scale of what ICE is doing based on ICE stats

The Trump-Vance administration just used your taxes to pay for an ICE agent to do this to a 21-year-old kid, who was only protesting because another ICE agent killed a mother of three, who was only there because ICE agents are kidnapping your neighbors

So, if I'm following all this correctly, a bunch of internet shitposters who spent years screaming "don't tread on me" and warning about federal agents stomping out people's rights... have been hired as ICE agents to go around breaking into people's homes, kidnapping & shooting them

Trump’s ICE thugs tear-gassed a Minneapolis neighborhood in the middle of the night and flash-banged a 6-month-old baby. ICE initially told a family trying to flee the gas that they could leave, then flash-banged their vehicle anyway. Their baby stopped breathing and was taken by EMTs. #GoodvsEvil

I don't know whether Renee Good's murder was INTENDED as a hate crime, but those motherfuckers sure are doing a good job of turning it into one retroactively

In earlier years, the United States did more than any country to eliminate the use of offshore bank accounts as shelters -- numbered Swiss accounts ceased to be a thing thanks to Washington's reporting and filing regulations. Now we're watching the president use one.
The main bank account holding revenue from the Venezuelan oil sales is located in Qatar.

“There is no basis in law for a president to set up an offshore account that he controls so that he can sell assets seized by the American military,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren.

before I go to bed, I feel obliged to emphasize how tonight’s rampage in northern Minneapolis was, by no exaggeration, a glorified episode of klan night riding by federally deputized groypers. Yes, DHS always had these people but the difference now is that they’re in charge and with a $175B budget.

On Fox 9 just now they interviewed a woman at the scene in Minneapolis. She says she’s not an activist but felt a call to action like she hasn’t felt since 9/11. She says she was raised to love America. She says she’s never felt scared of the government in her life, until now.

Non-protesting dad just trying to hustle his kids, as young as 6mo, out of the neighborhood. ICE threw a flash-bang INTO HIS car, all 6 kids in the hospital now.

If anyone wondered how things turn against occupying armies there's a case study playing out in front of you.
That is what was relayed

Already heard from folks nearby that, even with windows and doors closed, tear gas is getting into nearby homes.

Our fed govt is making our city less safe.
Tear gas and smoke filling north and northeast Minneapolis tonight on is a perfectly clear winter night in the city.

Keep your windows closed.

to learn anything about the history of protests in the US is to learn about armed mobs of hired goons beating and killing people just for demanding anything be better at all

He decided to shoot while he was still on the passenger side of the car-when he moved his phone from his right hand over to his left to facilitate unholstering.

Neighbors standing guard over churches so that parents can have secret meetings about how to keep daycares safe. This is what's happening in the Twin Cities right now.

When companies like Aetna or UnitedHealthcare want to rein in costs, they turn to EviCore, whose business model depends on turning down payments for care recommended by doctors for their patients.

Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.
