AIM are the good guys. If you see folks sporting this flag, you can relax knowing they're here to help us get ICE off our backs.

This is a thing we see a lot. Saw it in a response to @makwacoffee.bsky.social post. Black Hart even had an email from a young non-binary person recently that “politics & alcohol don’t mix” (decrying the “communist” owner). “You’re alienating 50% of your customers…”

Something I desperately need everyone to understand is that the entire modern conservative movement, from Buckley to Trump and from the Heritage Foundation to the Federalist Society, exists as a direct backlash to the Warren Court's decision in Brown v. Board of Ed. www.ms.now/opinion/segr...

Do I have any trans followers from Maine who are part of organizing efforts against ICE? I'm in MA and can travel to report on Maine happenings, but I won't unless I can connect with people on the ground who would know my work and have reason to trust that I won't exploit people or sell them out.

If you’re in the Twin Cities and want to do the most minimal thing to annoy ICE, drive the fucking speed limit. These goons get so angry when 20 is plenty.

It is one of the worst kept secrets of the upper Midwest. Farm and business owners will routinely hire undocumented workers, pay them starvation wages for back breaking work, and then will “tip off” ICE when the workers inevitably begin to push for better working conditions.

And then no one knows there they end up. Just a living terror.

Because the media does not know how to frame what is happening, they keep referring to regular Minnesotans as protesters. But there is very explicit training that so many people done to learn how to be a constitutional observer. People are bearing witness to kidnappings, with phones and whistles.

This is so funny. Kash Patel has to offer a $100k reward because Cletus left all the phone numbers of everyone in charge of the Minnesota occupation in one of the ICE cars that they had to abandon because they peed their pants at a few grandmas blowing whistles. www.startribune.com/white-house-...

🚨WHOA. The El Paso Medical Examiner says it will rule the death of a 55-year-old Cuban man at ICE's "Camp East Montana" tent camp as a homicide. He was allegedly choked to death by a guard during a "struggle" after he refused to enter a housing unit without his medications.

At one point today, there were 283 Minnesota attorneys doing a training on how to file emergency habeas petitions to keep our neighbors from being shipped out of state and held indefinitely. That would be the second largest law firm in the state. And that training was just put together this week.

Shout out to all the rubbish moms listening to people that know what the fuck they’re talking about

Oh no not vErBaL assaults

Also, it’s not even clear that US citizens who *are* actually brought to Whipple are ever fully recorded in the books. My wife, for example, was shackled there for a whole day back in November as intimidation and then released without charges as if it never happened.

A broom and a shovel? I have two suspects.

You defend your neighbors with the body armor you have, not the body armor you want

I think the only guy to make Montana look anyway near competitive should be given the benefit of the doubt here.

A wise man once said it’s better to be pissed off than pissed on

Just read an incredibly dumb take and didn’t repost to dunk on them. Where do I send for my Bluesky merit badge?

Star Tribune has a post up. Not many details yet www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...

is this about Greenland or Minneapolis?

WE KNOW

Love it when these guys slip and fall, but do not touch them under any circumstance, please and thanks

I didn't write this for people in the Twin Cities. I wrote this to everyone else, my feeble attempt to try to be witness to the occupation of Minnesota and the chaos of every single day right now. open.substack.com/pub/wburdine...

This morning at school drop off my pre-k daughter said “good morning lifeguard!” to the crossing guard, and that just about covers it

This Instagram post from Urban Village really got to me and Jess. DHS has been targeting Karen people and there are some Karen folks who have already been flown out of state. Jess taught ESL to adult Karen students for years.

ICYMI: This piece of mine published late last night

Man, this is some clueless shit

Ope

Sorry is the argument that they should just not inform parents about dangers facing the school children? That doing so invites summary execution? Fuck all the way off.

Can someone tell Will it’s ok to admit it turns him on? This is a safe space. We won’t kink shame him.

Cronkite would never

@mprnews.org did a very good series today about peoples’ interactions with ICE this week, but i swear to god I’ve never gotten close to violence than listening to this story. www.mprnews.org/episode/2026...

If you haven't yet, make sure you block @icegov.bsky.social Block ICE

WATCH: Trump shows his middle finger and appears to say "fuck you" after Ford worker yells "pedophile protector" - TMZ

So, if I'm reading this right: 4 prosecutors at the Dept of Justice Civil Rights division quit because the Trump-appointed leadership won't investigate Good's killer, and 6 from the Minnesota US Attorney's office quit when they were told instead to investigate her widow. (HT @benjaminkabak.com)

On you list of real af businesses that deserve unyielding support because they provide it to us, please include Ace Nicollet Hardware:

This is completely fucking unacceptable. Shut this terrorist government down until it stops brutalizing its own citizens.

Is this the moment he became President?

Have you had violence used on you or firearms pointed at you by ICE or Border Patrol in the last eight days? Are you willing to talk about it? Contact me securely on Signal. I'm open to questions. signal.me#eu/1bUvkuaFR...

Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

If you’re not familiar with how and why Scott Adams (creator of Dilbert) sucked, may I recommend this two-part Behind the Bastards? youtu.be/8nyEkHqP65c?...

Another mostly inconsequential part of this, but it occurred to me that MNUFC having a front of shirt sponsor that’s hated by their fans isn’t a great look

Target corporate: "we can't do anything about ICE were helpless little babies 😭" Local ACE franchise:

ICE shut down the oldest Mexican restaurant in my hometown of Forest Lake, Minnesota -- a city that voted overwhelmingly for Trump (and Pete Hegseth's hometown too) Feel safer yet?
