Our thoughts are with the people in Minnesota and across the country who are bravely standing up for their neighbors despite violence committed by ICE. If you are looking for a way to support the people of Minnesota, we want to highlight the work being done by the Immigrant Rapid Response Fund.

thankfully, these two are still around the game and setting an example that i hope will one day click with someone from the new generation
A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Imagine if institutional Dems blacklisted everyone involved in scammer groups that fundraise off moments like this with half the intensity they blacklist people who work on primary campaigns against people who vote to thank and fund ICE

I can't put into words the feeling of watching our government, a hive of evil antisocial filth, the absolute worst humanity has to offer, colliding with the best. Ordinary people trying to help each other, risking everything to stand up for what's plainly, unambiguously fair and right. It's unreal

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.

We have been told for nearly 30 years that America needed to tolerate mass shootings because the broad availability of guns would help us defend ourselves from an overreaching federal government. That day has come. The people who said this are supporting the federal agents. Many have joined them.

If Keith Ellison doesn't want to risk getting unlawfully imprisoned himself for charging these guys I get it because I don't want to go to jail either, but if that's the case he should probably resign, because Minnesota can find an AG who is willing to take that risk to do the right thing

Chicago Police operated black sites, LASD has deputy gangs, LAPD had its deadliest year of police shootings last year, LAPD got more crowd control training after 2020 and were the more efficient with their violence at last year’s protests, etc. Local/state police are less blatant w/ their misconduct
Jumping in here to point out that most police departments have training that is far more rigorous and rates of use of force that are far far lower than ICE and the CPB. This *isn’t* policing. IMO: It would behoove if folks didn’t conflate them.

Tho we actually feel a lot like Liverpool men. You've had a legendary, club defining manager followed by a relatively surprising league win but ultimately the rebuild has had a few too many misses and the change in tactical identity starts to bite.

DHS officials have urged disaster response staff at FEMA to avoid using the word “ice” in public messaging about the winter storm, sources say.
The concern is that the word could spark confusion or online mockery, given the ongoing controversy surrounding US Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
It really is kinda wild just how many MAGA influencers are either Hollywood hopefuls, has-beens or never-would-bes and you would think people would connect the dots when it comes to that. Hell, the MAGA Overlord himself is a B-list celebrity
Erika Kirk's Amazing Race audition tape shows that all these right wing grifters really just wanna be rich and famous and won't stop until they stumble on an audience dumb enough to let that happen

Another person is dead at the hands of federal agents. This morning, ICE/CBP tackled a man in broad daylight, beat him, and shot him in the chest while he was on the ground. There is video. This execution was carried out by federal agents in public. There are no bounds to their lawlessness.

Normally don’t do this, but the Twin Cities are occupied and there are a lot of folks I know who are helping people with very acute needs. I know a lot of good folks out there have offered to help or want to know how they can help, so I may occasionally boost fundraisers for folk or causes I trust.

the first video of a member of law enforcement executing a Black person should’ve ended this, but white Americans let racism win the argument despite the fact that it was always going to lead here. ‘no one is free until all of us are free’ isn’t a bumper sticker, we are acutely aware of our enemy.

I wonder if we're ever going to get the video that the woman in the pink coat was filming of ICE shooting that guy. She seemed to have a pretty clear look at what was happening.
