It's nothing everyone doesn't already know, but ICE/CBP guys know they can do whatever they want. They're the absolute dregs of the Violence Worker Community, not trained for anything like what they're doing, out of their depth, all that. But it starts with them knowing they won't face consequences.

I just came from the Venezuela briefing; can confirm this insane plan to indefinitely take Venezuela's oil at gun point and use it as leverage to micromanage the country. We're back in the nation building business. And we're going to make oil guys rich. Also, it won't work.

masked, unidentified goons who assault and murder with impunity. a literal gestapo.

I want people to realize prosecuting the police is always a long shot and even when successful that it hasn’t produced any observable change in behavior from the police in general.

“If the person is a U. S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, that individual will be free to go after the brief encounter.” -Brett Kavanaugh bsky.app/profile/thei...

The FBI is run by Kash Patel who supported the pardon of 1600 criminals.

The blocks were literally trying to use the shadow docket to union bust, failed, then closed up shop.

Even in the most charitable interpretation, giving up Minneapolis’s prerogative to investigate the homicide seems to expose a misunderstanding of the dynamics of the situation.

NYT likes to just forget its award winning visual investigations team at times like this.

The reason there are observers is so that they'll have video to prove it when the authorities try to bullshit everyone. However, that's also the reason the authorities are shooting observers.

/5 In short, you can’t negotiate with people who are pathologically insecure and think it is unmanly to keep your word or obey the law.

Occasionally as a litigator you run across an opposing party who repeatedly breaches contracts and settlement agreements and legal requirements — just never abides by them. Generally competent lawyers point out that you shouldn’t do business with or enter contracts with that person. /1

I'm reminded constantly of when the DHS guy at Federal Plaza in Manhattan told a room full of people who we were trying to help connect with social workers and resources in case they were detained, not to talk to us because "they are here to steal your identity and do bad things with it."

Any one of us could be shot or kidnapped because an ICE agent doesn’t like the look of us. Are you prepared to be murdered in cold blood while “news” sources repeat the claim you were “weaponizing your vehicle” trying to leave your driveway? They want you to accept that. They want to make it normal

Here are two key frames of the video. (Changed language on the first notation.)

NEW: Second video shows ICE shooting in Minneapolis. A woman, a U.S. citizen, was killed

If we don’t act now, this will become the norm. Must be swift, in large numbers, and have clear messaging that we will not stand for this. Not now. Not ever. Against any minority population.

I have watched the video. I think you probably do not need to watch the video. it shows what you think it's gonna show in terms of lack of justification.

they’re abducting our neighbors and putting them in concentration camps and they’ll shoot you in the fucking face if you don’t cheer them on while they’re doing it.

Holy God

having seen the video at this point, they are lying, this was cold blooded murder in broad daylight

Video makes clear almost every word of this is a lie.

"I ask folks to remain calm." Stop asking angry residents to calm down and start demanding that ICE leave or cease hostile activity. TAKE THE SIDE OF YOUR CONSTITUENTS.

May this observer rest in peace. Condolences to her family, neighbors, and loved ones. Chinga la migra.

HSI, CBP, and the rest had to kill Minneapolitans in order to protect them, you see.

ICE agents stopped by protesters after the shooting an observer in Minneapolis, according to witnesse. ICE deployed pepper spray and tear gas.

"you can't kill us all" fuck yeah minneapolis

TW: DHS murdering someone

these fucking cowboy cops

ICE just murdered a woman here in Minneapolis. A legal observer. Shot her multiple times while she drove away as ordered. She was a US citizen. Absolute, unequivocal, cold-blooded murder by Trump’s gestapo. Abolish ICE, jail for everyone in charge. This is the lowest bar we accept now.

Surreal seeing Trump sweat over the possibility of impeachment, and implore Republicans to win/cheat in the midterms not for any legislative agenda but to avoid getting impeached, while leading Democrats go "oh no, not that" when asked about impeachment in the face egregiously impeachable offenses.

This is what our government has sent into cities across the country to arrest normal, nonviolent working people. Insanity.

"You gonna murder someone else? You can't kill us all, Nazis."

Wednesday’s shooting happened a day after the Department of Homeland Security announced that “the largest DHS operation ever is happening right now in Minnesota.” (via @mprnews.org)

Imagine if the parties were reversed in this situation. Do you think Republicans would be posting about high taxes? No they would rightly call Dems anti American killing machines

MPR reporter. ICE is terrorizing Minneapolis today.

A U.S. takeover of Greenland is so patently absurd on its face that it’s easy to dissolve into the laughter and ridicule that the JD Vance photo invites. Yet a Greenland grab is such an increasingly real threat, that it’s probably best to sober ourselves up ... talkingpointsmemo.com/morning-memo...

if you tried to do this in the us, you'd have a billion dollar conservative moms group lobbying against it 12 hours later and credulous news articles taking their claims seriously in 24 bsky.app/profile/davi...

The Trump administration’s lawless attack on Senator Mark Kelly is part of a much broader project to turn the US military into a partisan militia and silence veterans who might speak out against that by threatening their pensions www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

CBS’ Tony Dokoupil says of Marco Rubio: “Whatever you think of his politics, you’ve got to admit it’s an impressive resume.” No, I don’t. Giving the same people multiple jobs is a way for Trump to surround himself with only subservient yes men. This is corrupt government ... and captured media.

This guy is one of a kind. If you don't have him on your radar you should fix that. Instead of gazing with wonder at the denialism five years later, he's warning the polity. Possibly the most valuable news anchor in the country. Kyle Klark at 9News Denver.

Where the hell are Google and Apple enforcing their app store terms of service on X? Grok doing CSAM should instantly be a removal from the app store. Any other app doing this would be pulled instantly. Journalists should be asking for comment from these companies.

There are four Republicans currently serving in the House in seats in or near NYC. If Conway wanted to take a whack at the GOP, he could run in one of those districts. Instead, he's trying to steal one of the most liberal seats in the country, to make it more conservative. Fuck that.

This is a very concise statement of the case. The district Conway is running in is one where Dems regularly win with 90% of the vote. We elected one of the most liberal members of congress over and over when I was a kid, and re-elected him one more time after he died, just for good measure.

I don't know who needs to hear this in 2026 the year of our lord, but if someone tells you Trump's not that bad, they are also telling you that they are an idiot and a Nazi and you should protect yourself

“Do the evidence show that Mr. Trump attempted to or tried to direct someone else to delete security camera footage at Mar-a-Lago?” Jack Smith: “Yes.” ~ page 206 #USDemocracy #MomSky

The United States should not be a “predator force.” We are not brute animals scrabbling in the dirt for sustenance, we are human beings who can stand side by side with friends and allies.

This is your reminder that Trump's "Justice" Department remains in gross violation of the Epstein files disclosure law. The Republican cover-up of child rape continues.
