Straight up harassment

Had a lovely gathering tonight with friends who have the worlds derpiest but most beautiful Husky. I will be having a little hair of the dog for the rest of the weekend. 😂

today i tried to get a neighbor abducted by ICE out of Whipple by bringing their paperwork down to get them out of the concentration camp in there, but they had already been moved to Texas. this was less than 48 hrs after their abduction. my neighbor is a legal resident w/ a right to due process.

Two ICE flights (with 127 and 47 deportees loaded) at MSP today, along with a USCG C-130 that brought in more DHS personnel from Louisiana, and the Air Force C-40 that brought in the congressional delegation that was denied access to visit the ICE detention facility at Whipple.

Visited my parents today. Wound up having to comfort my (white) Stepmom because she was so worried about me and my other local (biracial, not white-passing) brother that she burst into tears. White folks. Please don't do this to your brown and black friends/relatives.

Every time someone says “don’t take the bait” I hear “what did you do to provoke him.”

They hate Minnesota because we are a people who believe that "we all do better when we all do better." Minnesota is one of the wealthiest, safest, and cleanest states in the country *because* of our openness and generosity. Our quality of life is a direct challenge to their zero-sum worldview.

Reminds me of the famous line "I'm here to blow whistles and kick ass, and I'm running low on whistles."

These dancers are a common sight at Minneapolis protests and cultural events. Protesters are gathered around as they wait for the protest against ICE to start in south Minneapolis.

I very much understand that officials need to try to keep peace. But a large portion of my friends spend their days watching pick up/drop off of their local schools as the only bulwark against armed thugs on our streets. You HAVE to have a better plan than tell people to remain calm.

Absolutely insane that my life has become texting with local church pastors to try and find a safe place to hold an emergency meeting for parents at my kid’s’ preschool to figure out how to respond to the federal government kidnapping neighbors.

I was just denied access to the ICE processing center at the Whipple Building. Members of Congress have a legal right and constitutional responsibility to conduct oversight where people are being detained. The public deserves to know what is taking place in ICE facilities.

Secretary Noem should be fired. If she is not, I support impeachment by the House and conviction by the Senate for her obstruction of Congress and violation of the public trust. The appalling conduct at ICE and DHS starts with its leadership. Kristi Noem needs to go.

I don’t think they’re misreading them so much as they are terrified of the implications because it means the status quo has to break. there’s no incrementalism for this. mass radicalization of this scale scares Democrats more than anything Republicans could do and I mean that literally.

"They're just doing their job" isn't an excuse when the job is fundamentally evil. It's an indictment. They chose evil as their job. They should be treated like it.

Hey @patiomensch.bsky.social - you didn’t happen to find one of these in that box of comics I gave you eh? If you did, we need to revisit that whole 70/30 deal. 😂

And now he’s dedicating the remaining hour of the show to Renee Good. (Starting with “Walk Away Renee” by The Left Banke) onlineradiobox.com/us/kfai/

The ice in this town is just unbearable right now. I blame so many of my neighbors for not doing their part to keep our streets and sidewalks safe for neighbors. Yes, were talking about meteorology, why do you ask?

of the seven Dakota leaders present at the signing of the 1805 land secession, only two signed the document. and zebulon pike had no authority to negotiate a treaty in the first place. fort snelling sits on land stolen by any definition

Spent 3 hours in a yellow vest on foot patrol today outside of my daughter’s elementary school (at the school’s request) so the kids in all grades could safely have outside recess. Now we hear the Feds are sending even more agents here. Once again @governorwalz.mn.gov — what’s the plan?

He hates Ilhan, he hates how Walz so easily humiliates him, he hates that MPLS burned a police precinct and haven’t rebuilt one, he hates that MN put chauvin in prison for murdering George Floyd

It’s this

Remembering today that having your heart broken is a necessary step on the path to becoming fully human. Whichever heartbreak is your first, it’s probably critical that a state break your heart so that you can develop a political imagination. If this is your first, I’m sorry and also welcome.

JFC we’re now organizing, at the teachers’ request, a brigade of parent guards to cover post-lunch recess tomorrow so the kids can actually play outside. This is your state right now @governorwalz.mn.gov You gonna help anytime soon?

This community has demonstrated FAR more restraint than the other side deserves and has turned that outrage into positive action to support our neighbors. Your turn to act now @governorwalz.mn.gov Words aren’t enough. And stop scolding us to show restraint. It’s insulting.

The man who literally wrote the book on the use of vehicles as ramming weapons says any claim Good used hers as such is false, and that her execution, followed by the false claim, is "death squad behavior."

If you're in a position to be able to donate, this is a very good way to support Renee's family as they grieve an unimaginable and traumatic loss. Let's step up - Minneapolis and beyond.

Good

600+ people still showed up for Legal Observers training in Minneapolis tonight. In addition to those currently on patrol. This minute. While the vigil is happening in South Mpls.

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy. She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

It's why half the damn city came out when she died. It's why so many people of different backgrounds came together to burn down a police station. We didn't choose this for ourselves. This was chosen for us. It's why this won't go away no matter how hard they try.

What people who are deficient in empathy will simply never understand is that if you are a marginalized person in this country it is impossible not to see yourself in every other marginalized person. It's why a queer citizen was watching out for her immigrant neighbors.

“Despite these procedural complexities, the bottom line is that federal officers are not categorically immune from state prosecution for actions carried out while on duty. And states have long demonstrated that they are willing to bring such charges when it comes to excessive use of force.”

She’s like a liar gone to burning hell

Thank you, Councilor.

Many car owners need to better educate themselves about the fact that ownership of property absolutely does NOT extend into the *public* right of way, which in Saint Paul includes street, boulevard and sidewalks. You don’t own the roadway in front of your dwelling!

Based on the reporting, it seems there were Minneapolis police in the vicinity when this ICE agent killed her. How is it not standard operating procedure to take the shooter into custody?

KARE reports the observer’s car was towed. Who towed it? Where was it taken? That’s EVIDENCE

Five Minneapolis City Council members on the scene on Portland south of 33rd to get MPD off the scene. Neighbors say MPD physically pushed people more than a block away so they couldn’t see what was being done.

Regardless of who you are or what agency you work for, if you shoot or kill people in Minneapolis you need to be arrested immediately and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Full stop.
