Minnesotans are some of the nicest people around. God help us all when ICE tries to do this shit in Philadelphia.

I think independent voters are probably very low trust and ICE is leaning a lot on ‘trust me bro’

Cannot believe the people are being mean to the occupying force meant to terrorize the people!

honestly humiliating for everyone involved, even people who had to read the story

Seems reasonable that if they are going to demand papers & access to your face, they should show nameplates & access to their face.

How are bros who can't handle Minneapolis going to handle New York City?

you can't actually suppress away a wave of discontent. (relatedly, i think a lot of you have no idea how large this country is and how small its various military and security forces are relative to its population)

anyway i already see people with undiagnosed anxiety replying to this with lurid fantasies of trump's god like powers so i'll end it here

I'm not going to focus on the MANY salacious claims in this lawsuit (there are SO MANY), but more broadly, the lawsuit suggests Sinema really did spend a ton of time jetting around the country to have fun rather than focus on her responsibilities as a US Senator.

Excellent James Carville suggestion: make “pedophile protector” a nickname and meme that sticks to him like, oh, “short-fingered vulgarian.” podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/p...

The main bank account holding revenue from the Venezuelan oil sales is located in Qatar. “There is no basis in law for a president to set up an offshore account that he controls so that he can sell assets seized by the American military,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren. www.semafor.com/article/01/1...

I honestly don't know. The order to use force in Greenland would be, on its face, illegal, even if some MAGA DOJ stooge writes an opinion blessing it, and it would require Americans to shoot at people they've trained and served with. The whole business is utterly insane.

Good call to action: “You have an absolute right to peacefully film ICE agents as they conduct their activities...Help us create a database of the atrocities against Minnesotans – not just to establish a record for posterity, but to bank evidence for future prosecution." mn.gov/governor/new...

These thugs are a gang, not a professional law enforcement agency, let alone a military. Their training and morale are exceptionally low. Their recruit quality is abysmal. They are greatly outnumbered by a highly organized, cohesive, and increasingly experienced populace.

The Hmong are here because they fought for the US in a war we lost.

I would prefer if World War III is stopped before it starts. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

How??

I do think this is very much deliberate. The traditional military and law enforcement are a little too diverse and have existing cultures that are at least somewhat in tension with lawless authoritarianism. So they're sculpting their own corps of shock troops.

The billion from the crypto shit coin scam wasn’t enough, gotta make ends meet.

A bunch of Trump 2024 voters did not believe he'd do what he said he would, or imagined a fantasy of how it'd go (to the extent they thought it through at all). Not a majority, but still an election-swinging subset. Very frustrating. But at least now that they see the real thing, they don't like it.

.@PabloReports: What do you make of this union worker who called out Trump as a pedophile protector? Underwood: I think it’s a shame that his employer is trying to take action and punish him for speaking his mind. I’m so happy to hear that his union is standing strong right next to him.

A hopeless task when the person on the other side of the table is a demented sociopath. But good luck.

ICE: real Americans should speak ONE language proficiently, at most.

This is a nightmare obviously but: consider that as proof those systems of protection are working, and it maddens and frustrates them.

whether borders and international law should be replaced with “might makes right.”

Mike Johnson: "ICE is doing what ICE is designed to do"

/10 The ICE “reformers“ want you to eat around the cockroach. I want you to send the plate back. Stomp the cockroach.

Every Democrat adopting the position that we must abolish ICE wouldn’t have gotten you this kind of shift, there has to be an event for it to break through to the general population and you and I on the Politics Arguing Website aren’t the general population.

If I start talking like this, it means I'm having a stroke

Zero percent chance this is true.

The people of MN give me far more hope than the largely feckless “opposition” leaders of our country or the deeply compromised and ineffectual media both-sidesing white nationalist totalitarianism.

This tragedy touches Iowa as well, as Renee’s wife lived in the Iowa City area when she was younger and still has family here. The Good family deserves justice, and the American people deserve accountability of our government officials. There must be a full, fair, and independent investigation now.

NEW: FBI searches WaPo reporter's home and devices

They don’t know who they’re taking because: -they don’t talk to them -they’re random pedestrians It is literally indistinguishable from a kidnapping when you see it, except there are so many of them, and they are more heavily armed and armored than any kidnapper would ever be.

You can drop the second word if you’re pressed for time.

Abolish ice is about to become a centrist position

They don't seem to realize that the video of them abusing a legal observer is probably worse than whatever video the legal observer had already obtained of them.

I approve of this use of Will's gift for driving people nuts.

This is awful, but also “woman murdered by ICE correctly perceived ICE as a threat” is not the gotcha they think it is

/2 I assumed ”ICE took his phone and sold it” was a typo or something. Nah bro. Thug THIEF scum.

He’s basically saying “ouch, that was too tough a question. You know I own you and your zombie network, right?”

The boys in the diner would be steamin’

did a canadian just say americans are too polite 😯

For those of you who believe the game is lost, this shows it isn't. In Turkey, the guy would be arrested (and probably beaten). In Russia, he'd probably "fall out a window" Trump has authoritarian ambitions. He hasn't won the game. Not by a longshot.

Struck a nerve?

dude just let theo von host it already

But “pedophile!” would be more concise and probably just as accurate.
