Roughly 80% of immigrant-owned businesses along key corridors in Minneapolis and St. Paul have closed in the past week as employees and customers stay home in fear of ICE agents detaining them.

Revenue down from 50% to 100% at immigrant businesses along Lake Street and in St. Paul’s east side. Businesses say the impact is worse than COVID’s.

There are lots of reasons to compare what is happening now to Nazi Germany and there are also lots of reasons to compare what is happening now to the post-1850 Fugitive Slave Act U.S. and it's *weird* how people respond with interest to the former but total confusion to the latter

I’m (re)watching the movie In the Mouth of Madness, starring Sam Neill, and it just laid down this line: “When people begin to lose their ability to know the difference between fantasy and reality, the Old Ones can begin their journey back.” And friends, that hits different in 2025 than in 1994. 😂

Every single goddamn time he gets real pushback, he collapses. No one should need to see any more to be certain of that. Push back, tell him fuck no, and he’ll grudgingly fold while blithering about how he didn’t really want Greenland anyway
i suspect there are a lot of morons in a lot of european capitals right now wringing their hands about the risk of escalation. here's the truth: the real risk is failure to escalate. backing down is showing weakness. trump will know it.
