Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

ICYMI — worthwhile analysis here. That above angle Trump used to claim Ross was hit was sped up to make the car look faster and hide that he was out of the way.
He wasn’t hit, he dropped his phone.
No wonder they won’t really investigate.

Scholars & organizers stress that the most important thing for pro-democracy movements to do is to peel away a regime’s “pillars of support.”
Breaking companies from ICE is a winnable struggle that can put serious pressure on the Trump regime, raising the political cost of their actions.

Want to Stop ICE? Go After Its Corporate Collaborators.
ICE can’t function without help from the private sector. So we should force the private sector to stop helping.

NEW: Data released by ICE shows that virtually the entire growth of detention in the last few months has been among people with no criminal record at all - no prior convictions (no matter how minor) and no pending criminal charges.

Here’s the ICE goon. They’re telling everyone he was run over and is recovering in the hospital. He’s 💯 not hurt.

ICE in Burnsville, MN followed a family home, broke down their door, and abducted 4 of them at gunpoint including the parents of a 7 year old and the husband of a pregnant woman. All of this occurred without a warrant for a home owned by a US citizen. (12/6/25)

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Journalist Mario Guevara has been detained for 100+ days, ironically arrested as he reported on a "No Kings" protest.
The Trump-Vance admin just issued an order of final removal, to send him to El Salvador—where he fled from 21 years ago.

no time to post properly about this but yeah - the companies, governments and state-owned orgs that extract the stuff are the first in a chain of events that lead to Earth's atmosphere becoming deadlier, and bear a necessary but insufficient amount of responsibility for who gets hurt
Systematic attribution of heatwaves to the emissions of carbon majors - Nature
Climate change made 213 historical heatwaves reported over 2000–2023 more likely and more intense, to which each of the 180 carbon majors (fossil fuel and cement producers) substantially contributed.
