🚨BREAKING: ICE agents just launched flash bang grenades at protesters in front of federal building in Minneapolis—causing massive explosions. "It's terrorizing, this isn't the America I served for 20 years in the U.S. Navy," tearful protester tells us. WE'RE LIVE NOW ⬇️

Markey: ICE has become the criminals they say they are supposed to be catching

Lucy with the soup can.

Spiraling toward a depression. US posts record $145 billion December deficit as outlays outpace receipts. The money is going to DoD, DHS, ICE.

To any ICE agents reading this who are from down south—you have never experienced anything like this cold. Our European climate equivalent is literally Stalingrad. It will hurt to breathe. You will be outside in it. So will we, but we are used to it. Next week is what will break you.

"If that's not a highlight reel goal I don't know what is" Minnesota's Abbey Murphy beats her defender with a lacrosse move, then slides it over for Bella Fanale to score

😑😑😑

take a second to really wrap your head around this.

Because they decided Americans don't have civil rights anymore?

"While operating, doctors discovered plastic, glass and metal in his eyes and face. They also found metal 7 millimeters from his carotid artery, which they did not want to remove out of concern that to do so could be fatal, she said."

THEY SOLD HIS PHONE

Pity that Voice of America is no more. It could have been useful in Iran.

Another thing I learned on PBS News Hour tonight is that the funding that was pulled by DOGE from Voice of America covered things like providing VPN for times when authoritarian regimes restricted access such as is happening now in Iran.

This is sickening.

More of this please! Cycling is political for *a lot* of reasons but I appreciate how simple and direct this is.

Total disregard for the humanity of this person

They really hate women.

I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen *Everyone has stories like this*

It's 10am in Minneapolis and rapid response is underwater, reports of chemicals deployed already. As others have pointed out, the ratio of feds (with more arriving) to residents and square mileage here is extreme compared to what we experienced in Chicago. We are in freefall.

"The attack on Powell and Good’s murder are part of the same story..."

Desperate to make a world good enough that politics stops being everyone’s personality

These thugs bum rush their victims and slam them to the ground. Always. Every time Even when it’s clearly not necessary, which is almost every time

NEW: Top DOJ officials quit after their division refused to probe Minnesota ICE shooting - At least four leaders of the Civil Rights Division resigned because the section's head, Harmeet Dhillon, decided not to investigate shooting of Renee Good. www.ms.now/news/doj-civ...

Pretty willd how the DOJ just straight up stopped releasing the Epstein files even though they're legally obligated to do so.

"The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first attack on a 'drug boat,' killing 11 ... the laws of armed conflict prohibit combatants from feigning civilian status to fool adversaries into dropping their guard, then killing them. That is a war crime."

“When I read about the history of World War II in Germany and how countries just fell like dominoes, it’s definitely given me a foundation for understanding some of the forces that are at play here.” forward.com/news/795826/...

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

One basic pattern here is that DHS officials are engaging in violence simply because they are irritated at citizens protesting them. There is no plausible threat of violence here. He just wants to inflict pain, and believes there will be no penalty for doing so.

The people of Minneapolis are hounding immigration agents wherever they pop up. Earlier today:

The FBI says that a suspect in the arson fire at a Mississippi synagogue admitted to targeting the institution because of its "Jewish ties." https://to.pbs.org/4jIJphS

Students at Roosevelt High School in Minneapolis are walking out to protest ICE days after a clash between U.S. Border Patrol agents and protesters at the school. 📸: Jerry Holt

🚨 In Nov., Trump's Labor Dept. lowered the minimum wage for foreign farmworkers. A month later, Trump's winery filed to hire 36 foreign, temporary workers. The rate? Almost $2/hour less than in 2025. 1/ me, for @forbes.com

Breaking News: The EPA will stop considering lives saved when setting pollution limits and instead calculate only the cost to businesses.

Whoa, there is protesting🧊and then there is protesting🧊in Powderhorn Park, Minnesota. Love this‼️💪🏾💪🏽💪

If Trump kills Fed independence, he's fast-tracking the economic collapse that will drive him out.

ICE Drones coming to a city near you.

Note that agents' actions have gone far beyond immigration enforcement and now appear to be aimed at illegally intimidating, assaulting, and detaining everyday Minneapolis residents.

I thought this was a joke but it’s an actual post from the White House: “we are ending the war on protein” How about ending the war on the health of this country?

The animating force at the heart of US conservatism currently is incandescent rage at the mere idea of women's autonomy and independence. An image of a smiling woman who looks insufficiently deferential for their tastes riles them up enough to tear up the social contract.

Somali aunties were giving out samosas to the anti ICE protesters in Minneapolis.

“Get it all on record now. Get the films. Get the witnesses, because somewhere down the road of history, some bastard will get up and say that this never happened.” Dwight D. Eisenhower, Germany, 1945

AN ECONOMIST IS THE ONLY ONE CALLING THIS OUT. I hope every single college president, law firm, corporation etc that hasn’t done the same is doubly shamed. AN ECONOMIST.

With everything that has happened this week, you know what didn’t happen? The release of the Epstein files.

I once lived exactly 7 blocks west of here These Nazis need to leave

Not a wasted word. A must read for all of us: "If the American Experiment dies, it will be because we didn’t stop the immorality of a white supremacy that calls Somali refugees “garbage” and a patriarchy that mutters “f---ing bitch” as it murders a woman in ice-cold blood...."

Wow. This was on FOXNEWS.

Nearly every statement coming out of this administration is directly analogous to language used by domestic abusers and however much we point this out it needs to be pointed out a lot more.
