When we're done abolishing ICE...the police and carceral state need to be next.

For decades, police brutalized marginalized communities across the country as we all looked away because "tough on crime." That's why they thought they'd get away with this.

Healthcare and job cuts = more crime. The people that suffer the most will take up jobs with ICE since they will be VERY flush with cash. American society will be basically hunters and hunted for the entertainment of the rich in a shorter amount time than we think.
I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Wrote this about the SC prisoner who was executed by firing squad nearly a year ago. We sped ran to what is going on in MPLS, didn't we?
Oh, look what is going to get normalized. Sure, the prisoner chose it, but it's opening up a Pandora's box.
You know things aren’t great right now and just once I’d like to look at my phone or open a news site without immediately dissociating

This country...newborn puppy, eyes sealed, grown blindly to the size of a mastodon. A mutt aspiring now to be purebred. When being a mutt is what makes it worth a shit at all.

Maybe someday the rheum clears, and it can see where it really is, not what it's been fooled it into believing, and repent

ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city.

If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.

For southern folks who don’t get cold weather like this very often, two helpful tips: turn your faucets on to a drip to relieve pressure so your pipes don’t freeze & break, also put on your coat & hat a few minutes before going outside, it’ll build up a layer of warmth

Of course, the Mooks from Long Island voted to fund this shit. I know we talk of sawing Florida off the mainland, but we should also let Nassau and Suffolk Counties go adrift too.
Every representative who voted yes voted for more brutalization of our neighbors, more kidnapping of our children, more trampling of our rights, and more murder from this government.

WEEKEND JAMS

We are kicking off the weekend with a special request for MPLS degenerates Murf to reunite at 3 AM outside of a certain Hilton. I think they would be a hit with the guests...

Labeling everything a distraction is, in fact, a distraction: from the labeler’s failure to take any meaningful action against evil.
Cripes a’mighty people, Steven Miller is not staging a militarized ethnic cleansing and sending the border cops to murder people in the street to distract from the Epstein files. He’s doing it because he and Trump (and Vance and Homan and Noem etc) really really want to.

Can we get a band like Murph to do a reunion set for this?
Happening Now: Hundreds of protesters are holding a noise demo outside of the Graduate by Hilton Hotel in Minneapolis where ICE agents are reportedly staying. Drums, guitars, pots and pans are in-tune to "fuck ICE" and "ICE out" chants. Riot police are currently in the lobby.

May the gang of green reach their extremities
To any ICE agents reading this who are from down south—you have never experienced anything like this cold. Our European climate equivalent is literally Stalingrad. It will hurt to breathe. You will be outside in it. So will we, but we are used to it.

Next week is what will break you.
We've lead charmed weather lives so far in January.
Temperatures are +5F to +10F across MN so far this month. 🌡️
We're about to be reminded what persistent cold and occasional snow feels like. ❄️
MSP could bottom out -10 to -20 next Tue.

Honestly, this is what people who want to stand up to this shit should be doing if they have the means, especially if they have MAGA in their families.

Taking a week off for Weekend Jams. MPLS is on my mind too much. We'll resume next week, hopefully. Take care, everyone.

There's an argument to be made that Copaganda plot lines have conditioned us for decades to take these kinds of "justifications".
before murdering renee good, the ice goon was frightened for his life, we’re told

It’s meant to justify the murder

nobody telling us this ever seems to wonder whether the woman who was murdered might have been afraid for her life

killing because you’re afraid is only for cops, it seems

The Mar-A-Lago face is telling...
Seems pretty clear from this interview that City Council Speaker Julie Menin will work with Mayor Mamdani on universal childcare but will strongly resist anything he does that’s critical of Israel and won’t support making buses free (only a means-tested reduced fares program).
