If this is true, that makes it premeditated. I don't think that's better.

Just, you know, going out on a limb, but if states constitutionally don’t have to act as instruments of federal law enforcement, seems like a campaign of terror against the civilian population to coerce them to do so ought also to be unconstitutional.

Protected speech made my agents murder these people, says federal official

Staff at a Twin Cities yarn store put together a pattern for a red knit “Melt the ICE” hat inspired by the Norwegian resistance. They thought they would attract 10 people to a weekly knit-along. They’ve sold 70,000 copies, raising more than $250k for immigrant aid groups.

ICE will shoot people who raise their voices or use strong words to disagree with the government. That's what he's saying. Because only one side brought gas and guns.

Grindset/hustle culture means that, in a workforce larger than any in history, each person has to be individually more productive than their parents or grandparents were while experiencing ever-increasing precarity. And yet people embrace this instead of rioting. Make it make sense.

Inside a Minnesota immigration court, few ‘worst of the worst’ www.ms.now/news/inside-...

1/ Warner’s question goes to the heart of it: why is the DNI at a Fulton County ballot raid rooted in Trump’s 2020 grievances? Either there’s a foreign plot she’s hidden from congressional intelligence committees, or she’s putting the IC’s seal on a partisan stunt. Both are disqualifying.

Hegseth has been flying a bit under the radar with everyone's attention rightly on MN. But just last week, he held one of his monthly Christian prayer meetings at the Pentagon, to which he also brought his own pastor, from the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches redcircle.com/shows/fbed71...

i was actually shocked to see the numbers on new research from Global Energy Monitor on new gas projects in the US: nearly 100 gigawatts of power—enough to power tens of millions of homes—are currently in development explicitly to power data centers. At the end of 2023 that number was 4 gigawatts

this is a straightforward impeachable offense for trump, vance, rubio and every other person down the line who enabled it and the framers would have thought impeachment for it did not go nearly far enough

AP style recommends spelling out body camera for cameras mounted on clothing, generally of law enforcers. When the condensed version appears in headlines or in quotes, it is bodycam, one word.

Well, George Will & I are in agreement. Almost word for word. Hell has indeed frozen over.

It appears there were more people protesting Trump outside his venue in Iowa than there were to hear him speak inside the venue…in Iowa.

This or just dumping people *in the woods* AND sending folks out w/o their phone or I.D. Volunteers w/ Safe Haven wait at the gate & do sweeps of the woods, with warm clothes, a burner, and a ride home, "so no one is left alone at the gate." I donated; pls join me if you can: gofund.me/7d506a3d0

Good and Pretti didn't goad anyone. They simply stood up for what is right. That is why ICE killed them.

The Secretary of Homeland Security is asserting that the Deputy White House Chief of Staff ultimately bears responsibility for the murder of two American citizens, which is something that would normally generate a dozen congressional inquiries.

Welp. It's not secret now.

Jfc they are fucking around at school drop off in maple grove

ICE just showed up at our house for the second day in a row. Four cars yesterday, today five. They rolled up slow, then got out to taunt us, and take pictures of the house. They want fear to overwhelm us, to project a fantasy of power meant to intimidate, isolate, produce obedience—not happening.

An entire community of thousands, here legally, having been demonized with deranged lies about eating pets, is about to be arbitrarily DECLARED illegal so they can be forcibly ethnically cleansed. I don’t want to hear one more fucking word about comparisons to Nazi Germany being overwrought.

NEW from @justinrohrlich.bsky.social: “I’m not surprised this happened,” Ilhan Omar attacker Anthony Kazmierczak’s brother said. “Not at all. Unfortunately, he and my mother are both right-wing extremists.” "In my mind, he’s a piece of s**t," he added. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

So my connect the dots here is that there will be some allegation that there was foreign interference in the voting — Hugo Chavez, Italian satellites, etc. — (hence why DNI is involved), making it a nat sec issue that they will use to justify doing something crazy/illegal in Nov

“Minnesotans’ relentlessness offers a blueprint for how to react when ICE inevitably arrives to stir up trouble where there was none; how to look violence dead in the eye and say not in my town; how to provide aid laterally when you know those at the top won’t be passing any down.” My latest—

We need to fight this now. We cannot wait. #ableg #abpoli

It's 14 degrees out with a wind chill of 4. There are hundreds of people here to remember Alex Pretti and call for the abolition of ICE

Think about it like this. This ICE agent was on camera and unmasked — fulfilling one of three "demands" Democratic leader Chuck Schumer just issued in order to agree to save Republicans and give DHS even more money. And he was still threatening to kill someone.

SIGNAL ISN'T GOING TO CONTACT YOU ABOUT YOUR 2FA OR SIGNAL PIN DON'T BE A DUMBASS

As far as I know, Tom Suozzi here still does not have a primary challenger in his district (NY-3 on Long Island). The filing deadline is April 6 for the primary on June 23, and if there's a remotely progressive town council member or PTA president in that district, this is the time to make a move.

Act now: pat.ag/B/26/ACLU The killings by federal agents of Renée Good and Alex Pretti took place less than 20 minutes from Patagonia’s St. Paul store, a location that’s been part of the community for 21 years. A thread 🧵

It. Doesn't. Matter. Extrajudicial summary execution is NOT LEGAL for any offense. None.

Chuck Schumer just announced demands on DHS to avoid shutdown: 1. End roving patrols, tighten rules on warrants 2. Enforce accountability & unified code of conduct for agents 3. No more masks & require bodycams There are *already* standards on much of this. The issue is DHS isn't following them!

AS I WAS SAYING

We need to talk about the rise of "smol bean fascism" where you have all the guns and the immunity but the really scary people are the ones with whistles and phone cameras and they're giving you generational trauma and ptsd by filming you killing people for no reason

“are you scared of a fucking whistle dawg” has been knocking around my head all day

I will simply never recover from reading this sentence: "Since Georgia implemented work requirements in 2020, they have spent twice as much on Deloitte consultants and administrative costs as on healthcare for people."

Ok so Santa Barbara is tiny and it's so Richie Rich white they made a whole soap named for the place everyone that lives there is exactly who you're picturing and they're out in force against ICE. We're gonna win this shit.

The Trump administration’s deployment of federal troops to six U.S. cities has cost taxpayers roughly $496 million through the end of December, and continued deployment could cost over $1 billion for the rest of the year, according to new data from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.

Since we published this, Pam Bondi's X account has started posting mugshots of Minnesotans arrested for impeding ICE/CBP. Sharing a defendant's photo publicly in this way is forbidden under DOJ rules

Personally I think this is too much money to give to Donald trumps poorly trained but heavily armed Militia

You walk into this bar and show your ICE mugshot, you don't pay a dime.

Take his personal army away from him while you can, you stupid, stupid assholes. You’re like an armadillo playing dead in the middle of the road so the semi won’t hurt you

i really sincerely think that tearing x apart with hammer and tong would do a great deal to smash an awful lot of right wing reactionary influence
