So we had a Krewe du Vieux captains' meeting tonight and I found out that site that lists the parade schedule no longer includes us with the main parades! They told our captain it was bc "Google wouldn't let them include us bc adult content" (lol even though we're listed with small marching groups)

For 248 years the streets of America didn’t feature a roving masked federal kidnapping squad that might send you a Central American death camp or just murder you themselves, but getting rid of it now is some impossible lefty fantasy that professional Democrats lamentably must struggle against.

I am begging Democratic leadership to recognize that funding and legitimizing your authoritarian opponent’s secret police is a bad idea. This should not be a difficult concept.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Miller *wants* a war between us and the cartels because it's a way to activate more emergency powers to engage in tyranny at home with. And Hegseth has barely whetted his own appetite for killing brown ppl and needs more.

Inconceivable

The situation in Minneapolis is insane: seemingly many large convoys of heavily armed masked men, blocking off streets at random, grabbing people nearly at random, racing around the city with no discernible plan or aim. Under attack by our own government the day after it killed someone

I'm looking at the data for a column, and "abolish ICE" is both a lot more popular than you probably think, and a lot more popular than it has been in the past, including 2018

There should be no Dem votes to confirm ANYONE this administration nominates.

elites have got no idea just how apocalyptically angry ordinary people are about this shit

just had my first major real-life encounter with an ICE convoy and the sheer creepiness of a bunch of men in masks rolling through your community hard to convey in texts. they have half the city on their tail at all times at least

You need to be willing to plant trees knowing you will never sit in their shade

This irrefutable evidence didn't come from professional journalists, but from citizens who showed up & recorded what our government would prefer remain unseen. From Gaza to Minneapolis, this is why video documentation is treated as a threat: it makes their lies and cover-ups far harder to sustain.

The proper political use of the Epstein files is not to insist that everything is a distraction from them but rather to use their salience to cast doubt on everything the government says. “The government is withholding 90% of those files - illegally. You trust them on Venezuela? On Minneapolis?”

Pro tip: if your Mayor or your City Council are talking tough about ICE, demand that they take steps to limit local cops from sharing surveillance data with ICE. If they don't, they're full of shit.

Jesus

And look, a progressive in a position of power being a good influence and teammate with a more conservative Dem. You don't need to replace all of them, just enough of them that in order to do their job, centrist must work with them.

Gentle reminder that EVERYONE shot by ICE or the police is innocent. Every single one. Cops aren't Judge Dredd. A person is innocent until proven guilty IN A COURT, so until a person is found guilty by a judge or jury, they're innocent. They're ALL innocent.

Palestinians stood in solidarity with Black Americans in the aftermath of Mike Brown. They also painted a mural of George Floyd in the West Bank and rallied for him. This is very important history and part of why we’re here today.

Posts may be a bit more sporadic from me today as my kids are home from school because my city is being brutalized by the federal government to the extent that it's unsafe for schools to be open

I've been wondering if this is why NOLA's "operation Catahoula Crunch" has been more low-key. They have been active but it's been much less in your face (even in Kenner) than it seems in these other cities in blue states. Maybe the businessguys calling the Republican Lt. Gov made them tone it down

“The move came after officials at Roosevelt High School said armed U.S. Border Patrol officers came on school property during dismissal Wednesday and began tackling people, handcuffed two staff members and released chemical weapons on bystanders.” — www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

"I would be cool with them shooting afelon in the face"

i think it is ok to reiterate that the victim as a us citizen. yes, noncitizens are equally entitled to human rights. but also, it's important to illustrate how ice isn't about immigration at all

Here’s some things that can be done by a party out of power - file impeachment articles every day in the House - withhold unanimous consent in the senate and filibuster every nominee - be everywhere with comms saying this is lawless and impeachable

🚨 BREAKING News: Democratic Congresswoman Announces Impeachment Effort Against Kristi Noem Rep. Robin Kelly called the homeland security secretary an “incompetent leader” and a “disgrace to our democracy.” www.notus.org/congress/dem...

I don't know who needs to hear this, but cops are not allowed to shoot people just because you didn't do what they said. That is called murder when they do that. Some cops are working hard to convince people otherwise.

About an hour ago, @axios.com was first to report that some Dems will be pushing their caucus to shut down DHS at minimum over the ICE shooting today

10,000 people honoring Renee Nicole Good at the site of her murder

Minnesota Public Radio says today marks the first and only shooting and homicide in Minneapolis in the year 2026

We received this cute little ceramic container from Donovan Ceramics on Oak St, and I'm wondering if it has a specific purpose other than "something to put all my rhinestones in." Thoughts?

ICE fled because they know they are in the wrong

I know we all get inured to this but it’s actually kind of astonishing how much this didn’t happen. he’s claiming that she actively ran over the officer and he’s in the hospital. DHS said she was *trying* to run him over and that was a lie and this is, somehow, even more insane.

An "opposition" that refuses to clearly, insistently communicate what is happening—a party of Nazi pedophiles murdering Americans and traumatizing their children—should disband immediately

Today once again proved that everyday citizens protesting their government are braver than the titans who own the largest media corporations, run the biggest law firms and lead the most powerful technology companies.

Just like the food pyramid that came before!

People are making fun of this but it is essentially the conventional wisdom for weight loss or getting "in shape," give or take a few things. (This is not your invitation to give weight loss advice to a person who's been fat for 20 years. You think I don't know about portions etc etc etc lol)

Get your minority leader in line

Tonight

abolish ice is the moderate position to be honest. whichever candidate promises to nuremberg the ice agents has my vote at this point

The focus on training misses the mark. Yes, many federal agents are sloppy and unprepared, but years of organizing against police violence have taught me that more training doesn't stop violence. It just makes the death-making more respectable (sometimes) and more expensive.

Bravest motherfuckers you've ever seen. They just saw a neighbor get murdered and still out there. Maybe let's see some local officials with the power to arrest show as much backbone as these voters PAYING YOUR FUCKING SALARY

They know they’re in trouble

All those people from Europe criticizing us for not rioting (a thing they don't get shot at for) or being "too concerned" with domestic issues need to sit the fuck down. We don't talk about other county's citizens who are victims of their own violent government that way

It takes an enormous amount of courage to stand there, keep filming, and scream "What the fuck, you asshole" at someone wearing a badge who just shot and killed one of your neighbors in cold blood.

Non-Americans: why aren’t Americans doing more? ICE: guns down a legal, non interfering observer in broad daylight. Do not ignore the great personal risk Americans are taking simply by recording/watching federal law enforcement

NEWS: In a heartbreaking video, after ICE shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis, a woman who was in the same SUV cries out: “They killed my wife. I don’t know what to do." “We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head,” the distraught woman sobs. www.advocate.com/news/minneso...

The most laughable thing about their propaganda is they want you to believe that the average person is more bloodthirsty than the average ICE agent
