Sort of gives away the lie that they're arresting hardened criminals who are drags on society when they're setting up traps to lure in Good Samaritans

US Troops killed all the guards at Dachau for this kind of shit.

This Weeks Onion Magazine: ‘I Don’t Know How And It’s Not My Event’: Simone Biles On Her Decision Not To Snowboard At The Winter Olympics

DHS is shutting down because it refuses to obey the law. They are tear-gassing schools, killing American citizens, and disappearing legal immigrants. Democrats shouldn’t fund an out of control ICE.

As someone said, there is no crime here; but there is crime all around this. Something like this could only happen where cruelty and dehumanization are the norm, in a system bereft of human decency.

Omg, this is beyond psychotic. The level of dehumanizing hatred you must feel towards someone to do this to children is jaw-dropping. This is the sort of stuff that requires truth and reconciliation tribunals—there’s no crime here, but it demands public accountability.

I think Shaidorov just won an Olympic gold medal.

I think somebody cursed the ice today. I'm calling for a redo. Just wipe the slate clean and let's go again in a few days.

This is just unconscionable man

Happy birthday to one of my favourite haters, Charles Darwin

Breaking: Judge grants Mark Kelly a preliminary injunction against Hegseth, who is reconsidering his rank: "This Court has all it needs to conclude that Defendants have trampled on Sen. Kelly's First Amendment freedoms & threatened the constitutional liberties of millions of military retirees."

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here. Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

There have been a lot of excellent pieces about what's happening here. This is one of the best that I have read.

Is Ron Johnson the dumbest senator? I know there's a lot of competition but he's got to be in the running for the top spot

What if McCarthyism but even dumber bsky.app/profile/atru...

He literally says in this clip that ICE will keep in Minnesota “quick reaction forces” — a military term — to go after “agitators.” Remember that those on the ground in MPLS have spent more than a week trying to tell everyone that Trump’s prior “deescalation” was a ruse and ICE is still operational

"Some were as young as 13, and at least half of those taken in so far became pregnant as a result of rape, sources said."

When people read current writing on immigration a few decades from now, it'll hit the same as a reading the way people wrote about "the Jewish problem" in the 1930s. Just loads of well-educated and seemingly normal people accepting a monstrous normative frame as though it's natural.

Trump's big, ugly budget megabill gives ICE more agents than the FBI, more jails than the federal Bureau of Prisons, and a larger budget than most countries' militaries. It does this by stripping food away from children, the disabled, and the working poor. Not one more penny.

ICE out of Minnesota was our first goal, not the last. Congress still needs to deliver justice and accountability for Alex, Renee and every Minnesotan who has spent the better part of 2026 in paralyzing fear.

To Noem, Homan, Bovino, Bondi, Lyons, Miller, Trump, and every ICE & CBP street soldier: youtu.be/E5iUvpjii14?... Sincerely, All of Minnesota

Get them all out my god

We still need our neighbors back.

“my ‘we’re not out scouring the streets to disappear people or deny people their civil rights or due process’ shirt is raising a lot of questions that are answered by the shirt”

Investigators say one immigration official abused his girlfriend for years. Another admitted he sexually abused a woman in his custody. A third is charged with taking bribes.

I had a pregnant client who was experiencing abdominal cramping for three days and was deprived of medical care. When we interceded, she was punished. A first grader snatched two days after surgery denied wound care. A client who developed a large painful cyst but was ignored. 25/

4. Medical malpractice. Here’s why I say stopping this detention-to Texas pipeline is life of death. An 18-month old hospitalized after nearly dying of three simultaneous respiratory infections. When she returned to the camp, DHS withheld her meds. 23/ www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

2. Non-potable water. Clients have reported becoming ill from chemical-tasting water. Some developed rashes. 3. Deplorable accommodations. A client sick with the flu was forced to sleep on a frigid concrete floor. In Camp East Montana, fetid water leaches through the roof and soaks the beds. /22

And what awaits these clients in Texas? Unspeakably cruel and inhumane treatment. 1. Rotten food. I had a client explain she had to make a half-pint of milk and an apple last every day because the other meals consisted of spoiled or rotten food. One client wasn’t fed for >36 hours. 21/

I had two clients moved within an hour of ICE learning we were looking for them and advising us there was not plan to move them. A family of four moved 36 hours after a court order forbidding them from being moved. 3 other clients moved within a day of court-ordered injunctions. 20/

And even when we move at warp speed and outpace this regime, DHS doesn’t care. They’ve moved people to Texas hours or days after being enjoined. When ordered to return them, DHS just… doesn’t. The AUSAs let them: when we notify them of a violation, they send the email equivalent of a shrug. 19/

Just got a message from a signal group saying ICE was photographing *children* getting on and off a school bus today.

“Historians call this passageway a masterwork of deliberate concealment, designed to be absolutely invisible to slave catchers or city marshals during the 19th-century”

Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones. Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

Splurging on rotisserie chicken is an insane sentence. They are less than $10 in the twin cities, and often only $6. That is a shit ton of food for money (these days). It is literally one of the most economical food decisions my husband and I make on a regular basis.

... to stonewall releasing the full files about the president's pedophile friend, relying there on the friendly support of House Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Jim Jordan, who was himself implicated in the coverup of a *third* sexual abuse scandal at a college. Cool. Cool cool cool

So, to wrap up today's insanity: President Trump, who is deeply implicated in a pedophilia scandal involving his best friend, the sex trafficker, sent Attorney General Bondi -- who only has that job because Trump's first choice was also implicated in a separate pedophilia scandal -- to the House...

Likely-historic photo by NBC News of all the Epstein victims asked to raise their hands if they've not yet been asked to meet with the DOJ as Bondi testifies in foreground

Good morning, here’s a cute loon mural from the West Seventh neighborhood

And yet this is the NYT main story

Children being starved in concentration camps.

Hell yeah, Minnesota Olympian Curler

Bloomington Police just announced they've arrested a Department of Defense employee in a sex trafficking sting. The police chief said his job is to do background checks and security clearance checks on ICE agents.

there is simply nothing to distinguish this people from random people doing a kidnapping in broad daylight! how could you tell!

54-year old curler & lawyer from MN Rich Ruohonen: a) gives me hope I can still compete in the next Olympics and b) speaks eloquently about ICE's legal abuses in MN

Anyone in Minnesota will tell you that this matches the eye test. They are simply grabbing anyone who's not white. Full stop. There is no other strategy to this at all. It's a racist, heinous federal occupation. Dismantle the agencies. Prosecute everyone involved. Redistribute all the funding.

The tyranny of relative prices. As the abundance of a factor of production increases, its relative price decreases, and the relative price of the scarce factor increases. Be the thing that the computer cannot be: a friend, a thinker, a poet, a logician, an artist, an athlete. Liberal arts FTW.
