Look, if you had a party scheduled at your house, and the pipes broke and the floor was covered in raw sewage, you’d tell your friends not to come over.

In that spirit: world, skip the World Cup until we get this sewage worked out. And don’t be too sure about the Olympics.

As a German who paid attention in history class I can tell you: yes, this is how it started. In fact, you’re right in the middle of it already!

Exactly. Any call for more training is just propaganda meant to pick your pocket and mine for even more money to hand to those clowns. Don’t fall for it. Abolish ICE.
This isn't about "training issues." The murderer who executed Renee Good has been with ICE for 10 years, and according to DHS, the murderer who executed Alex Pretti has been there for 8 years.

These aren't "new recruits," or officers that can be "retrained." ICE can't be reformed. Abolish ICE.

I guess they’ve chosen this path. Going to get a lot uglier out there. Walz needs to go. Now. Minnesota needs a leader who represents its people.
Just as we suspected, the MN National Guard has arrived at the Whipple Building (the federal building/concentration camp) to protect the feds. They are not there to protect protestors. The National Guard, and the governor or collaborating with fascists.

There it is - the real reason they’re murdering citizens on the streets. They want to steal the next election to create a permanent one-party dictatorship, and they will keep executing hostages until that demand is met.
Fox News: "I've gotten my hands that AG Bondi said she sent to Gov. Tim Walz. It is strongly worded. The AG calls for the governor to support the men and women of ICE, to repeal the state's sanctuary policies, and to allow the DOJ to access state voter rolls."

Seeing a whole lot of white people just now cottoning on to this, acting as if it’s a new development - and I gotta say, it’s more than a little embarrassing.
After ramming the 2nd amendment down our throats for 3 fucking decades, now having a gun in your possession is justification for extrajudicial killing.

Astounding and inspiring. If you can, please donate to some of these local groups; this kind of mass heroism is more costly to some people than others, and we can help. www.standwithminnesota.com
National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation.

Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

That’s what they said during the civil rights marches in the 60s. I remember it well growing up in 1950s and 60s Alabama.

But when I asked an organizer what they wanted to see out of press coverage, they told me they wanted people to see the beautiful things they are building here, and not just the worst stories of the worst of ICE's crimes.

What people are doing here is beautiful. It's a tragic beauty, but a real one

Yes. He’s absolutely done Putin’s bidding and is a traitor by any reasonable definition.
Meanwhile in Russia: decorated state TV host Vladimir Solovyov said that Russians are winning their war against NATO and proclaimed that—thanks to Trump's efforts—NATO is effectively dead. This and more in my latest article, linked below ⤵️

World, I hope you caught the demented rambling tantrum at Davos. This is dire. It’s everyone’s problem. Do not fold to this monster. Laugh louder at him. Help our leaders grow spines; make impeachment the only rational path forward for the GOP. Sanction us. Cut us out, cut us off, until he’s gone.

I guess this is right, since it's customary to include the years when the deceased was essentially gone but in a vegetative state and still propped up on life support.
Fairly sure it’s unintentional, but the end date on this mug being sold by the Smithsonian does make it sound a little like they’re saying America dies in 2026…

Heres tonight's #TimelineCleanse:
I can't imagine MAGA doing anything like this.

It is so whimsical, creative & silly — an awesome way to protest.

Doesn't that look like fun?
I would have loved to have been there!

I hope we can think of something fun like that here in sunny California. 🌞 ☀️ 😎

Gavin Newsom has never had a homeless, a working unhoused, or an affordable housing advocate on his podcast despite governing California.

So yeah I think it’s weird that he’s entertained & platformed multiple fascists while grinning, nodding & relenting to their easily defeatable talking points.

Agreed.

But we've been here before. And it caused outrage, then too.

So can we stop these fascist mother fuckers yet?

Oh, look; he did have a plan to replace Obamacare.
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.

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003

when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out
