If you wanted proper context for Good, for example, you could show how federal cops repeatedly, illegally pulled ICE watchers from their cars and beat them. That might explain why Good tried to flee. Or discuss CBP’s history of putting themselves in front of cars to justify firing into them.

The Minneapolis protesters were remarkable for how peaceful and restrained they were in the face of brutality. It’s why nearly all the charges against them haven’t held up in court. Seeking out footage to the contrary isn’t “telling the whole story.” It’s constructing a false narrative.

New York is an amazing place. Most cosmopolitan city in the world. Dozens of languages, hundreds of cultures, a true melting pot. Where else can you get a sandwich. And when you ask New Yorkers the most special thing about the city, they will tell you: “the water”

Man. This thread hit like a ton of bricks.

Hasn't even been a year and Zohran's governance is having a massive impact on my family. Our daycare was able to open a 15-seat 3K program because of the 2,000 extra seats the admin funded. Everyone we know got in somewhere they wanted. This is gonna save us almost 50 grand.

Sheesh Hearts got jobbed so bad these last couple weeks

They way stuff like this shows up in my feed and i get that familiar sense of “ahhhhhh fuck, here‘s another damn article I have to read about a product I use being shitty”

Abolish ICE

The Woke Pope took it from Opus Dei to Opus D E I

I can't believe this. @normcharlatan.bsky.social you're a Minnesota Legend, my man.

Donald Trump must be removed from office for threatening war crimes and genocide. Speaker Johnson: bring the House back into session. Invoking the 25th Amendment and impeachment must be on the table, but Congress should also move on a War Powers resolution to stop Trump.

One thing I don't understand about centrist Democrats is why you wouldn't call for abolishing ICE, even if you're content with reforms, because then you can negotiate down to what you actually want. (The faith leaders in this article are obviously correct that abolishing ICE is moral and correct)

I know the budget doesn't have a massive surplus and this is also hurting tax revenue, but it's a genuine crisis and spending 10s of millions now to save businesses and homes all over the state will save 10x that in the future.

a woman reached out to donate 500,000 delta skymiles to get people home to MN as they are released from custody in TX. we're getting flights booked today. it should be enough to get at least 15 people home. delta should be doing for free since they take ICE money.

Some things to understand about people from Minnesota on here right now, a short thread:

A friend witnessed Dad get abducted from his car while warming it up this morning, family has an active asylum case.

We are observers, not protestors. We show up to document and film the atrocities ICE is committing. Using 5 year olds as bait. Kidnapping senior citizens. Breaking down doors without warrants. Murdering poets and nurses. Media has all of that information because *observers* were there to document it

Tell your friends you love them. Make art with your hands. Fuck ICE.

Hi, this is what I've been working on this week.

Is it @startribune.com policy to refer to anyone confronting ICE as a protester? This obscures the nature of what people are doing. We're not protesting ICE. We're constitutional observers documenting human rights abuses by agents of the state.

Recalling how ICE agents taunted the teenager they shot in the eye that he was going to lose it, and how they menaced a legal observer they detained last week ("didn't you learn from what happened to that lesbian bitch"). They are torturing us to prove a point.

all of us are just normal people and for some inscrutable reason, the most powerful military in the world has it in for us

For those looking for something to do in the face of this particular horror: find an org and ask them (politely but firmly) to get off of X. Libraries, schools, brands, etc. Do not shame them. Many have maintained a presence to be a voice for good, but that is no longer possible.

I really wish folks would stop with the wrecker shit when Walz and Frey ask protesters to be peaceful. Everyone in Minneapolis knows Trump is looking for any excuse at all to bring down the hammer, which is why legal observers have been scrupulouslu nonviolent. It’s not caving.

Absolutely stunning directorial debut by Jessica Lee Gagne in the new SEVERANCE episode. One of the series' best episodes and definitely the best looking.

throwing trans people under the bus will be a moral and political disaster and I have nothing but contempt for anyone suggesting it

Can’t believe that by the time they were my age my grandparents owned their own house and had already raised 8 deadly robot masters to dominate the globe

Holy heck Sun Street Breads is crushing it

This is something I've found is also true for DM'ing--it's often most effective to state what you want the players to understand as directly as possible. I used to go heavy on hints or euphemisms because I wanted PCs to discover the plot, but the actual fun happens in HOW they solve the problem.
