Near Lyndale and 24th Ave in Minneapolis tonight, feds have reportedly shot another person.

Preliminary info is shaky for now, hearing two people injured.

BORTAC just rolled up in an armored vehicle. A crowd is gathering outside the police tape—MPD presence as well.

Are you fucking kidding me

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed
A single federal agent with a long gun just walked through the crowd, slipped on the ice on his way under the police tape.

Dropped his loaded clip.

2024 Trump is frustrating in a different way: the Nazi shit can't be denied at this point but the Democratic party simply refuses to act. And I think we're similarly begrudgingly slow about admitting collectively that they are, as a party, collaborators at this point.

2016 Trump was frustrating because anyone paying attention knew he was a white supremacist fascist who wanted to do Nazi shit. But the Overton window at the time made saying that out loud seem outlandish. Nazis were Indiana Jones mooks, not the sitting president! Don't be dramatic.

the democratic party and the centrists in the party at the national level are a fascist movement full stop.
The House voted 341 to 79 to fund Trump's war-mongering foreign policy agenda.

Only 57 Democrats voted NO.

We are about to find whatever the lowest possible bar for the word meaningful is. Or we won’t because the rest of the party will just vote for it regardless.
The Congressional Progressive Caucus, which has nearly 100 members, announced its members will oppose any new funding for immigration enforcement until "meaningful" reforms are put in place. www.huffpost.com/entry/doj-fe...

I can’t believe this was a year ago already.

And it was under Biden, so let’s stop pretending that this shit suddenly started with Trump.
Imagine still believing that America is the land of the free when they’re doing this to a journalist at a press conference

You may also remember Lewiston as the site of a mass shooting at a Bowling alley in 2023. Here's a piece from my colleague Jaed Coffin with a portrait of Lewiston, post shooting, through the eyes of an immigrant family.

Unfortunately, this is the part where I remind people that Black 10th graders get beat up by cops every day.

This is the part where I remind people about modern civil asset forfeiture, where US police steal more value from people (mostly Black) than every form of theft other than wage theft.
It is in no way “law enforcement” to beat up an American 10th grader and steal and sell his possessions.
This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan.

A citizen.

Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold.

"We're from the United States bro!' he screamed.

Agents took and sold his phone

And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

The cost to implement the Department of War name change ranges from $10 million to $125 million, but it could rise to “hundreds of millions.”
Department of War rebrand could cost from $10 million to ‘hundreds of millions,’ CBO says
The final figure would likely hinge on the extent of replacement for signs, letterhead, name plates and digital coding related to many websites.

Fascism is, by all available evidence, a single-minded pursuit the destruction of society, not the creation, maintenance, or even supposed reconstitution of it.
These barbarians are destroying everything that makes society work. Kids can't go to school, patients can't go to the hospital. We are, in effect, paying them to wreck the basic infrastructure of the country
ICE's "presence is terrifying medical staff and raising concerns about patient care, according to five nurses at HCMC hospital in Minneapolis who asked to remain anonymous for fear of losing their jobs."

It's horrific but also this is pretty much a regular arrest. That's how violent arrests are. I am glad people can see it and be horrified -- that's what police are out there doing every day, legally. Every 3 seconds basically.
New video shows ICE agents detaining a US citizen legal observer in Minneapolis.

The agents smashed his car window, dragged him out, and placed a knee on his neck.
