Huh. Well. Didn't see that coming. Not in Howell, Michigan. (IYKYK)

This might sound a little wild to some people, but I actually don't think it's a good thing that the senile, dementia-ravaged president of the United States believes in so many ridiculous lies that his basic grasp of reality is questionable.

They won't have the numbers to occupy the nation and force everyone to comply, and that's why they're engaged in such an aggressive show of force. They're hoping we all get cowed into submission and do their work of suppression ourselves. Once again, no. The mantra remains "fuck you, make me."

There are 50 states, 346 incorporated cities, and 340 million people in the United States. There are more of us than there are of them.

Yorlenys Betzabeth Zambrano-Contreras was a passenger in a Toyota truck "leaving the scene" of an "interaction with federal immigration agents" when she was shot in the chest, her lawyer said.

They don’t have the juice or manpower for it. This is not late 1930s Germany. There is no state monopoly on media. They are wildly unpopular.

i think if we abolish ICE for murdering innocent people we should do the same for police

my man, you’re talking about the people who killed George Floyd

Vance is ideologically extreme by default as he actually has an ideology.

Every politician who refused to defund - let alone disband - ICE is complicit in this. Especially after 2016. The threat of fascism was clear and they refused to disarm it.

Remember when protesters in Minneapolis burned down a police station and not only did it not result in an immediate civil war or whatever, it had majority public support?

Walz’s statement is not only bad, but it is objectively false.

Cool. Go back with your own armed force behind you. National guard, MPD. Make them take a side. Force a confrontation. We’ve seen you all be denied countless times. Haven’t seen any of you push through to enforce the rule of law. If this is the extent of the action it’s not enough.

The dishonesty of “conservatives” about the killing of Renee Good makes me want to quote Lincoln: “When it comes to this I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretence of loving liberty -- to Russia where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocrisy.”

So many of our elected officials are cowards and it's really depressing.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Cops don’t get to shoot and kill people out of frustration.

Governor Walz said he was preparing to send his state’s National Guard to protect his people. So where the fuck are they?

Obama and Rahm’s “look tough on immigration so they can’t attack us on it” strategy is maybe the single biggest reason we got Trump’s GOP and today’s DHS

We deserve political leaders who fight as hard for democracy as the average canvasser and ICE observer.

I have been as impressed by the normal people of this country as I have been disgusted by elite institutions and every bit of optimism I have that we are going to make it comes from that

Things are heating up.

You often see when people post despair they seem to believe it’s the well learned truth. But nothing could be more wrong. History shows people standing up to much worse conditions and winning.

"If ICE had never come to our city, Renee Nicole Good would be waking up today. Her child would be able to play with the stuffed animals from the glovebox. But because Trump sent ICE to Minneapolis, none of that is going to happen." open.substack.com/pub/ofthebra...

I'm very pro-union and I endorse this opinion.

It doesn't help that we've reached a point where realizing you're wrong is political suicide.

This question has the same answer as "where did the Proud Boys, Three Percenters and Patriot Prayer all go"

More of this everywhere please.

Conservatives have so throughly dehumanized anyone not like them that they really are just out here cheering on the extrajudicial murder of an American citizen too. She’s just a queer liberal woman, all reasons she’s not really human, so of course she was fine for her to be murdered by the state.

Those of you who still insist on drawing a distinction between ICE and police should be aware that the police are not drawing that distinction.

Apple TV+ is like a treasure trove of the best shows nobody's ever watched lmfao. It's so crazy. Y'all should watch Murderbot, it's great.

it's indefensible AND serves the anti-Zohran narratives yes he's going to be on the defensive on like day nine of his mayoralty

I sympathize with soc's frustrations that Zohran and AOC condemned the chants but not the land sales, but the chants gave him zero room to manuever.

I am agnostic on Palestinian armed resistance. But vocal support of Hamas *in America* isn't strategic or principled it's just a LARP that disorganizes new allies and jeopardizes the huge persuasion gains we've made

If the App Store dropped X the Vice President of the United States would cease to exist

it is impossible for mayors or cops to learn positive lessons about protest response because they all have two immovable beliefs: 1. it is evil and childish to hold police officers accountable for violent acts 2. cops must be present at all times during protests

all nationalism is poison to the left

this doesn't free Palestine. this doesn't persuade or further armed struggle or political recognition or BDS, it just alienates and drowns you in a sea of nihilism

Goddamn leftists.

I'm opposed to further escalation in the Middle East but Iran is asking for it.

Does FanSets have a new MAGA line?

How many women have died with “fucking bitch” ringing in their ears? Don’t let the misogyny get erased here

I remember an article from the late 2010's that identified 5 or so states where a civil conflict might be most likely to erupt. They included Minnesota and Oregon. Well

I will shout this from the rooftops

When people taunted Proud Boys at protests, I would always tense up a bit. They are weepy, easily-triggered, prone to absolute rage at the tiniest ego slight. And now these same sorts of men are staffing death squads that the Vice President of the US claims have "absolute immunity."

“Are there no prisons? Are there no workhouses?”

Saw a bearded guy in flannel -very typical for where I live - who looked every bit like every other conservative man here, who was also wearing a bright yellow "fuck ICE" pin. I think the dam is starting to burst.

I've never actually been hit by a car but I've been doored by one (meaning, the speed was no greater than what I can bike), and my shit flew *everywhere*. And then I finished biking to work. This agent did not get 'rammed' in any serious way
