I think it's clear at this point that Amy is pro-ICE, and we need to remember that her record as county attorney was *extremely* carcereal. She fought to extend immigrants' sentences - in one case by 2 days - so that they'd be deported.

She increased HC prison pop by 20% and... (1/2)

The prize goal for Stephen Miller and others who surround Trump is to trigger both the Alien Enemies Act and the Insurrection Act - formal bases for unlimited executive power.

A great deal of what is being done is simply them working backwards from that objective.

There is going to come a time in your life when you are chatting with a guy, at a barbecue or something, a new coworker maybe, a dad at school drop off, and he tells you he used to be in ICE. You’re going to need to spit on that guy
Minnesota: "School officials say the [5-year-old] child was used as bait. They say [ICE] agents made little Liam knock on the door to ask to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home."

This is the easiest thing you will do all day. Please vote on this poll. While polls won’t save us, it can give a snapshot to how people feel, and it’s best to have a large sample size.

Some perspective: The S&P opened down -1.3% on Trump's Greenland saber-rattling. That's $750 billion of wealth destroyed -- roughly equal to estimates of the value of Greenland.

And so ~in dollar terms~ his shenanigans have already cost the US one Greenland, and we've got nothing to show for it.

TIL: if you voluntarily get bumped from a (Delta) flight, you need to return to the gate agent right after you learn you've been bumped for sure.

I figured they have your name and contact info already. Not the case.

I contacted Hilton to cancel my honors membership, and they said I'd have to give them the 2FA code from my email in order to delete my account.

Be aware that they're using bullshit tactics.

They're breaking CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS.
This was the illegal home invasion caught on video where ICE did not have a judicial warrant and entered anyway over resident objections.
Good example of the kind of people ICE is extrajudicially targeting. www.minnpost.com/public-safet...

BUT the most high-need, important thing a non-lawyer can do is legal observation/upstanding. ICE is sandbagging the flow of info, so knowing who's arrested and when is so important for getting people out (immigrants or arrested protesters/observers).
Even just a name can put in motion efforts that get someone released. If they're a citizen, we can get them jail support. If they're an immigrant, there are groups working overtime to file habeas petitions before they're whisked out of state. But it starts with a name.
If you see one, the most important thing to say is “WHAT’S YOUR NAME” because otherwise the person is gone for good, maybe. I witnessed one in an alley as the sole pursuit car, I was the only witness, I froze for a second and didn’t shout it in time, and the guy is just… gone now. I’ll never know.

I just want it to be really clear, to people from out of the area, if they see pictures of fires in Minneapolis: THEY WERE STARTED BY ICE. NOT BY PROTESTERS. NOT BY RESIDENTS.
So not only are they shooting our citizens they are setting the city on fire. #MFD did respond. Someone get an Air Quality check in #Minneapolis with the volume of Flash Bangs & Chemical Irritants.
🚨BREAKING: Multiple fires have broken after ICE unleashed ANOTHER ONSLAUGHT of flash bang grenades and chemical gas at unarmed Minneapolis protesters in WAR-LIKE attack. LIVE NOW ⬇️

Thank you for telling us you neither serve nor protect. Thank you for saying the quiet part out loud. That was state murder in broad daylight, captured from multiple angles by multiple witnesses, and the people of Minneapolis have eyes.

You support murder.
