Breaking:
The White House press secretary just said she "can't guarantee" that ICE won't be around polling locations in November.

I count about 18 heavily armed goons for one kidnapping. I hope whoever was abducted is safe, but this is further evidence of their fundamental weakness. #AbolishICE
02/05/26 ~6:00 AM: Footage from the ICE raid this morning in Stevens Square, Minneapolis. One neighbor was abducted. Note the broken glass pane next to the door, which is how they illegally entered.

Where is the lie
Every first person shooter game ever made is specifically about killing this exact guy where did our media literacy go wrong
Fucking surreal that people dressed like this and carrying assault rifles are permitted to kidnap people off our streets

Push through your fear and they don't control you any more! And many people are in places where they can't push their fear - they're old, frail, have children, have people depending on them. So those of use who have to less to be fearful of should push even harder to stand in front of them.

MAGA is essentially defined by its ideological incoherence. These people share very few common beliefs. But you can broadly categorize every action Trump 2.0 has taken as anti-civilizational. Not a single pro-human policy in the whole program.
are we sure that Trump isn't trying to summon all 4 horsemen of the apocalypse?

This is being debated everywhere in Minneapolis right now. Everyone should do their own risk tolerance assessment and be mindful of the people to whom you are adjacent, but I am firmly in the "safety in numbers" camp. #AbolishICE
The fact that activism carries some risk—and in the Information Age, just about any public activism carries a nonzero amount—is part of what makes is noble.
Safety is in numbers, documentation (eg video), the morality of nonviolence, and associated public sympathy, not from the state being unaware.

Another profound observation in this essential piece: "no application of armed violence can make the men with guns as heroic as the people who choose to stand in their path with empty hands in defense of their neighbors."
Stop what you’re doing and read this piece, which is as powerful as you’d expect from @adamserwer.bsky.social witnessing the events of last week on the ground in Minnesota. “The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone.”
Minnesota Proved MAGA Wrong
The pushback against ICE exposed a series of mistaken assumptions.
