Ossoff: "This is what I describe as their 'Dear Leader problem.' Bc in this admin it's unacceptable ever to contradict the president's words, & bc the president is a pathological liar, our intel officials twist themselves into knots avoid committing perjury while never contradicting the White House"

This is sloppy, disrespectful, and also fits into the larger pattern of using the work of independent journalists with no credit. Gillian is an extremely experienced journalist doing critical reporting and yoinking it like this is unethical and unprofessional.

He lied?!?!

"We started a war of aggression for no reason & commenced it by accidentally bombing an elementary school & killing over 100 kids." That simple fact is so horrific that it's just kind of bouncing on the surface of our collective consciousness. We can't absorb its full implications & significance.

Allllll of it...for no reason.

Kristin is the best, and Clancey's is a delight. Pro tip: the fancy French butter makes a great hostess gift. Head to 38th and Grand, get a sandwich, and see for yourself!

State Patrol helicopters are back today, this time over North Minneapolis. Remember in 2020 when they claimed helicopters stopped 92 carjackings, then it was revealed the Public Information Officer lied and it was 2, or maybe none? At $1000/hr, much more transparency is needed about these flights.

Minneapolis! Côme on down, the parking lot party with the Dropkick Murphys is not crowded and there are folk partying at the Black Forest & at Jasmine 26 & the Prodigal and it just feels really good ❤️

All the comments are basically "yeah, the problem isn't the merchandise, it's the capitulation, and we're not going back." Which, yes! But don't forget the $1m donation Target made to Trump's inauguration. Let's remember ALL the reasons not to go back!

from Eisenhower's April 1953 "Chance For Peace" speech

I am publishing a statement here on this morning’s strikes of Iran carried out by the US and Israel. As a Jewish DFLer it is imperative that we speak out. Additionally, I invite all support from the entire DFL community. Please sign on here to support this statement: forms.gle/8W5jfdMZuFjG...

I denounce this vote, I'll stand up to the goons, and I'd really like to raise a million this week (unlike Suozzi, I don't have millions of my own.) secure.actblue.com/donate/danie...

Fuddrucker's cheese sauce. Globbed onto a burger and also on the side for fry dipping.

This judge is exactly right.

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

It's not a new observation at this point but that wild Noem/Lewandowski story in WSJ really brings home the extent to which all the Trump 2 cabinet-level goblins see their jobs as flying private, doing short-form video, and screaming at underlings. They all hate each other and none of them can read.

WCCO looks at one day's worth of petitions for release filed by those arrested during ICE surge. Majority with no criminal record. People were picked up on the way to get prescriptions, going to work, and showing up for scheduled immigration check ins. www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

MORE OF THIS!!

We need to abolish ICE. They are already operating unconstrained by law, and they are arresting and violently intimidating those who even *monitor* their activities. Tricia McLaughlin is an equal to Kristi Noem with her lies and permissiveness of abuse. Call your senators. Call your reps.

“.. The programs slated to be cut are in California, Colorado, Illinois and Minnesota.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/02/09/h...

Prisons are for people who've been CONVICTED of crimes. Most people in these warehouses - without proper food or sanitation or worse - haven't even been CHARGED with crimes. And thousands are CHILDREN. This will be another of America's greatest shames.

In one 30-minute stretch, three legal observers were arrested — as Trump’s Border czar Tom Homan calls on locals to “end the resistance.”

It bears repeating that Tom Homan is a fucking psycho and Greg Bovino's exile means functionally nothing when it comes to what's happening on the ground in Minnesota.

If there's ever been a time to NOT be incrementalist, this is it. The most political capital you're gonna have is right now. And we got Gestapo death squads in MSP and TB spreading through concentration camps in Texas. If you can't find a win there, get out of politics. The Epstein Class, baby

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

Posting something that blatantly racist, or allowing a staffer access to the president’s account with no indication it’s not him posting something that blatantly racist are both impeachable offenses. The fact Republicans refuse to impeach him makes them complicit in all his crimes.

Tonight at 8:30 PM our constituent Ricky was pepper sprayed by ICE on 18th & Polk. 2 agents parked their car, got out and approached observers, started pepper spraying Ricky on public property, and then drove away and left. Nothing is changing on the ground in Minnesota. ICE must be abolished.

All the criming committed by my client is making it VERY hard for us to defend all the criming :(

The only response here is a motion to enjoin the whole operation If the government's position is "I'm sorry your honor but we don't be the capacity to both respect constitutional rights and conduct the operation as it is currently being conducted" the answer is "then you must stop the operation"

I’m on the scene at Franklin and 1st. A convoy of about a couple dozen ICE/HSI agents broke the entryway into an apartment building at 6am. No warrant presented. Less than 24 hours ago, Tom Homan announced the end of large convoys in Minnesota… Bullshit.

This commotion was for Driving While Latina in WSP. What drawdown are they talking about?

“If I am killed doing this, throw my body at the White House, martyr the shit out of me & raise hell. Do not be sad. Do not think I would do anything differently. I would do it over & over again — this is too important to sit down & shut up and not do anything.” www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

I'm in Minnesota and the government is certainly making life shitty here, but DC is getting shit on in a totally different and extremely terrible way. The trump/billionaire regime, enshittifying the country as sticky as they can.

In less than a week the Kennedy Center has effectively closed and our local DC paper has been gutted, both by billionaires. I don’t think immigrants are our problem in this country.

Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.

Marimar Martinez, shot 5 times by Border Patrol in Chicago, speaks out after Renee Good, Alex Pretti deaths 'I am their voice' NEW w/ @adrianacardmag.bsky.social: chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

He's looting the U.S. Treasury, people. Most crooked dictators find covert ways to get rich. Trump intends to simply order his government to transfer money into his bank account.

Bemidji (go find it on a map....I'll wait! 😘) has historically been a very red place.

Read the Julie's link below (instead of the NYT story, which is not as well written IMHO) for another very upsetting tale of fascism and out of control government agents.

For this morning, I wrote about how it’s not only time for Democrats to embrace abolishing ICE, but to call for an amnesty for undocumented Americans to stop this madness. After all, Ronald Reagan did it.

I need people understand. Columbia Heights is a small first ring suburb with a population of 20k. Our school district is small: 1 high school, 1 middle school, 3 elementary schools and a family center. SIX kids have been taken from our schools. The damage to our community is incalculable.

It's a good night to call your members of congress and urge them to impeach the president and oh hey abolish ICE and also get people out of the concentration camps and also maybe get these assholes the hell out of Minnesota and I could go on because seriously what the actual fuck.

The majority of Americans are now aware that the purpose of increased ICE/CBP funding isn't to catch drug cartel members or whatever but to terrorize, kidnap, hurt, and kill ordinary people. The majority supports outright abolishing ICE; slashing ICE's & CBP's budgets should be an essential demand.

This is a really clear example of how the abductions go: -Boxing people in -Intimidation tactics -Chemical weapons -Breaking windows -Violent "arrests" aka abductions where it for some reason requires 6+ masked men to terrorize one individual. -Threats to observers and press. Every. Single. Day.

The terrorists are the ones without masks. They’re the ones yelling “No!” or “Stop!” or “Shame!” or blowing whistles. Sometimes they brandish cameras at federal agents. These are just some of their diabolical tactics.

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him. “When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.
