Can confirm. Nothing has changed on the ground. ICE still attacking people, kidnapping, all that stuff—and the city is still out protecting and helping neighbors
Absolutely surreal to continue to hear about drawdowns and lowered temperatures and things calming down in Minneapolis when, as far as I can tell, literally nothing has changed on the ground

They have one principle:
"I, and people like me, should be in power. You, and people like you, should never be."
"I, and people like me, should be in power. You, and people like you, should never be."
I am convinced these people actually have no principles whatsoever.
States rights? Obviously not. Small government? Unlimited military spending.
Pro-Life? It’s a death cult 🙄.

Trump and his regime don't have the human resources to achieve their goals.
They can't enforce their will on everyone everywhere.

They could try. But remember how big this country is, how many polling places there are, and how ICE in the streets seems to be encouraging people to come out, rather than stay in.
ICE agents gather by the entrance to polling sites and grab anyone who looks brown or black---as they've been doing---so other non-white citizens get the message and decide to stay home for fear of being tackled and suffering a two-day detention.

The execution of Alex Pretti is playing so badly because you can look at his actions and life story - his last act was helping, boy scout, athlete, health care worker to veterans - and compare those to the men who killed him and know which you would want to be your son, brother, father, uncle.

It is bizarre in TikTokland today. It's a desolate place. Only old videos are playing. It is time to leave that app behid.

i think this attitude — that all opposition is illegitimate and nothing we do can be questioned— is probably pervasive in the white house and helps explain why they keep making terrible political choices
Putin pioneered this. No opposition is legitimate. Regular, decent, “ordinary” people cannot possibly be against us because only we represent “the real people.”
Tell-tale sign of authoritarianism.

If you want proof that Trump is going to try to rig the elections, here it is:
In a letter to Gov. Tim Walz Saturday, Bondi claimed that Walz could “restore the rule of law” by complying with a list of demands, including giving the Department of Justice (DOJ) the state’s voter registration records.

AG Bondi demands access to Minnesota voter rolls after fatal Border Patrol shooting
Her demand came as Minneapolis was reeling from a second fatal shooting by a federal agent this month.

“ICE > MN” is the clearest, most honest statement of policy we have gotten from this fascist administration about this awful endless occupation. We are the enemy. Their invading army is allowed to do whatever it wants to us. The idea that they’re here to protect us is FICTION

This is so true!!! ⬇️
I'm not sure Democrats in D.C. are aware that their base's rage against ICE has reached a level of blinding white-hot intensity.
They're worried about "looking weak" for voting "against law enforcement" when they should be worried a mob of housewives is going to come beat them to death if they do.

I cant help but notice that Trump's most aggressive ICE deployments have occurred in places run by Dems in the 2028 mix; Chicago and Pritzker, Los Angeles and Newsom, and Minnesota and Walz.

On one side is a nurse and a poet dying while saying “Are you okay?” and “I'm not even mad at you dude"
And on the other side are armed officers of the state saying “Boo hoo” and “Fucking bitch.”
And they want you to believe the first side are the domestic terrorists.

The problem is actually the Republican Party. It is an anti-American, anti-democratic fascist organization and it, too, must be abolished.
If not, you can go ahead and dismantle ICE, but you're only ever four years away from something much worse.

Absolutely nothing could be worse for our cause than violence and rioting. It is what ICE and Trump obviously want. Do not burn down our own city to protest invaders; they do not care; they will enjoy it. Do not do it. Do not let your fellow protesters do it.

ICE agents are America's failures, basically indistinguishable from lazy school shooters, losers who want to play Call of Duty on our streets against people who can't fight back. They have unlimited ammo and toss tear gas like they're pressing L1. They have to be defunded and jailed. All of them.

ICE is deliberately terrorizing and agitating Minnesotans to escalate the situation so Trump has an excuse to initiate the Insurrection Act
@governorwalz.mn.gov How about you call on the National Guard to remove ICE from Minneapolis?

On the execution in Minnesota: Obviously, the individuals involved should be held accountable. But responsibility goes to the top of ICE and CBP, and DHS. Their appropriations come up next week in the senate. Not a cent for DHS without pulling ICE and CBP off the streets, in MN and everywhere else.
