The official policy of the government of the United States of America is that they will murder anyone they want, that they will tell any lie necessary to justify that murder, and that no one who resists them has any rights they are bound to respect.

It’s remarkable how quickly the “everyone shall be armed” Second Amendment Republicans use the fact that a beaten, defenseless man lying on the ground was (maybe) armed as justification for federal agents to execute him.

ICE isn't law enforcement without training; ICE is white nationalism with guns.

ALL MN PROTESTERS

Absolutely nothing could be worse for our cause than violence and rioting. It is what ICE and Trump obviously want. Do not burn down our own city to protest invaders; they do not care; they will enjoy it. Do not do it. Do not let your fellow protesters do it.

Treat the US government and ICE claims like you'd treat a Russian government claim after they've shot down an airliner or bombed a hospital. America 2026.

Whether it’s liberals peacefully protesting a murder and a child abduction in Minneapolis or conservatives threatening a bloody insurrection in Washington DC, both sides have shattered the norms of civilized behavior

There are some checklists here that I found helpful. I also figure that if someone as boring as I am is on a “watchlist” for saying mean things about ICE and going to a few protests, it‘s going to be a very long list.

The broad consensus was that Mark Carney gave the best speech at Davos while Trump gave a whiny, low-energy snooze-fest where he kept mixing up countries, so naturally Trump is posting that he won’t be Carney’s friend which undoubtedly devastates Carney and Canadians everywhere.

Hi everyone -- there is a general strike in Minnesota tomorrow to protest what the Trump administration and DHS are doing to our community. In solidarity with the action, I am going to donate my revenue from tmrw's newsletter to People over Papers, the Midway-Hamline Diaper Bank, & Every Meal. (1/2)

National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation.

Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

All this is why I think Europe should stand up to Trump.

The man is lazy and a coward. If he thinks taking Greenland will be hard, he’ll back down.

“Can I just go home?”This young man, who appeared to be a minor, was walking down the street with a snack in his hand when masked men, in three tinted vehicles, identifying as armed Border Patrol agents pulled up to him and began questioning him in Spanish about his citizenship. The encounter took place in Minneapolis, where he was stopped while alone, without any parent, guardian, or family member present. It is unclear whether anyone knew where he was or what was happening to him. After he was unable to produce documentation proving his citizenship, agents informed him that he was under arrest and forcibly detained him. As he was being taken away, the young man asked, “Can I just go home?” An agent responded, “No, you are not going home,” before taking him into one of their vehicles.#ice #minneapolis #immigration

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.
