A single federal agent with a long gun just walked through the crowd, slipped on the ice on his way under the police tape. Dropped his loaded clip.

Heard from a public school staffer. ICE agents follow school buses on their afternoon routes & target some parents picking up kids from bus stops. If ICE knew anything abt particular parents, they'd go to homes. Seems they're just leveraging kids' vulnerability & mixing with racial profiling.

Item #157 on the list of things to do post Trump is end any special treatment & status afforded cops and other law enforcement get because of how brave you have to be to do that job.

Governor your point is extremely well taken. Will you at the very least instruct state agencies to stop posting to X, the CSAM website? Will you, yourself, stop posting to X, the CSAM website?

laws are only as good as the willingness of those to enforce them and cops are all fucking cowards who won’t do it. remember this the next time you see our police chief or mayor pretending to be tough on tv

When this is over, all of Trump’s enablers—corporations, the media, law firms, Republicans in Congress—will act as if nothing happened. Time to move on, they’ll say. Let’s have a fresh start, they’ll say. Sorry guys, ain’t gonna happen.

I think we have to come to terms with the fact that they aren't ever going to take accountability that isn't forced upon them. The whole reason they supported Trump in the first place is because he told them "nothing is ever your fault, you shouldn't have to apologize or change".

The 8th Circuit is the most insanely, irrationally, pro-cop circuit. This case will go to appeal, so Judge Menedez needs to write an order that is not going to be immediately stayed. No doubt her and her law clerks are going to have some very long nights getting things fully buttoned down.

12yo’s *youth cello retreat* is canceled because it’s at Roosevelt High School in S.MPLS and a lot of cello players aren’t white and don’t want to leave their house because of ICE. This whole thing sucks, but this generation isn’t going to grow up with blinders on, thats for sure.

The great

made a request that we all write something about what life in Minnesota is like for folks who live elsewhere or might be outside our normal neighbothis-Bluesky footprint. So I went to cursed Facebook and wrote this. Maybe it will help you share your own thoughts.

So, I’m glad to see people take a stand. But what is the end result here if avoiding shame and embarrassment aren’t a motivating factor anymore for DOJ leadership?

From a good friend in Minneapolis: "Target is allowing ICE to stage in their parking lots, use their restrooms, and abduct people from inside their stores - so if you weren’t boycotting already, now is the time." They were staging in Chicago as well.

Check in on your MN friends. Ask how they're doing. If they say: "Pretty good, you?" They're probably ok. "Just fine, howryou?" They're struggling, exhausted, hanging on but close to the edge. "Oh, doin ok" Send help. The situation is desperate.

So Target had a 17yo employee abducted from their property, taken away while they forcibly ID’d him, then threw him to the ground at a Walmart parking lot, and Target still hasn’t said sh*t?

No. They will tell the president what they are already doing (pre-paying for electricity at higher rates to mitigate increases for normal people) and present it as new

It's worth your time to call Hilton to cancel your account with them. 1-800-446-6677. Here's why: They asked me if it was because of the ICE thing. I said it was. Then they suggested I wait a couple days to see if they were going to change course. The pressure is getting to them. Let's keep it up.

This is the sort of statement that was expected from every university president and law firm partner over the last year. That those statements weren’t made played a huge part in where we are now and people will remember.
