Another witness to Anderson Cooper: “Now is not the time to stay silent. We all need to be a little bit brave, and do what we can to stand up for our rights.”

My story, written this morning from Minneapolis, is part of The Economist's cover package this week Inside the movement challenging—and disrupting—ICE www.economist.com/united-state...

For the amazing on-the-ground heroes in MN: it would be sooo valuable for you talk to media. We need to show that it’s just regular folks who are standing up for their neighbors. If you would like media training to help you feel comfortable doing that, please hmu

Incredibly bravery of Stella in those horrifying moments, and incredible bravery of her to come forward publicly. We need more of the brave, everyday Minnesotans to speak to media and humanize the extraordinary nonviolent resistance they are performing.

Brooklyn is ashamed of @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov Just disgraceful

Hard to tell if it’s in his waistband or a holster, but the murdered man’s gun was pulled from his back side. He didn’t brandish it. He didn’t even take it out. They disarmed him then executed him.

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.

Looks like the Carter Biden photo

Nooooooooooooooope 🖕🖕🖕

“A man dies when he refuses to stand up for that which is right. A man dies when he refuses to stand up for justice. A man dies when he refuses to take a stand for that which is true.”

“One has not only a legal but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws.”

As a New Yorker who is proud of all the things we do well and thinks that ICE would get its ass kicked by New Yorkers’ civic spirit….Philly? Y’all will get absolutely WRECKED by Philly.

For whatever of Trump’s tariffs survive, seems like a gift to the next Dem president. “I’m repealing the Trump Tax and you should expect to see prices come down quickly.”

Napoleon, Friedrich Paulus, Greg Bovino

Oh look, they ARE capable of not being terrible. So they’re choosing to be terrible the rest of the time

What are we even doing here?

One of the things about people showing up to protest for the first time, that many, many armchair theorists don't grasp, is the effect of seeing what happens with your own eyes, then seeing how media covers it, and what is said ABOUT YOU by media and political personalities/office holders.

Strange to me that electeds aren’t flocking to Minneapolis to bear witness to the occupation of an American city

Would be cool if some District of MN judges showed the same courage as Judges Ellis, Cummings and others did in Chicago

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness. You could be next.

Ice coming in cold to fuck ICE up

This is Minneapolis: Walk into my neighborhood ACE last night & see the signage on their door notifying fed agents that it’s private property and cannot be used for immigration enforcement. These signs are all over the city. Walk in & the nearest shelf has goggles & whistles.

More resignations in the DOJ--these from career officials in Minnesota office objecting to DOJ's push to investigate the widow of Renee Good and reluctance to investigate the shooter, Ross. A seismic scandal - This is the biggest politicized mess of a case in memory and it's not going away.

Run the gif.

DOJ staff resign over the department’s disinterest in Good killing.

Even in DC speak I’d take: “This agency is hopelessly politicized and has a broken culture of violence and unquestioning loyalty to Trump. Its duties will be reorganized and reassigned to other law enforcement agencies. ICE was an experiment started in 2003 and it has failed.”

"It took me, a very smart person, a decade to realize that Trump is bad while these people I think are stupid realized immediately" is such an incredible self own.

Immense skill issue to not have found this immediately obvious in 2016

America is now at the heavily armed secret police doing warrantless door-to-door house raids in search of undesirable ethnicities and/or political dissenters stage. The difference from well known historical cases is down to scale.

I don't know how it gets more gestapo than this. Well, ok. I do know how it gets more gestapo than this but we *have the power to stop it.*

Incredible @statuscoupnews.bsky.social interview with Skye, who says she’s a Marine Corps vet and appears to have just been released from Whipple. She says she was trapped by ICE, yanked out of her car and stomped on. 1/2

ICE goon pushes man in front of a moving bus.

Everybody should watch this and see this woman, who has a baby in her arms and is thrust into basically a standoff, develop courage in real time.

Holy shit. Eight minutes of a man so far past giving a fuck that he’ll just deliver truth bomb after truth bomb — former MN Governor Jesse Ventura: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FKc...

Whaddya know! The huge fucking liars lied again! Shocking

We cannot be more clear. Leave us the fuck alone.

a few thoughts youtu.be/lERS4kJIQR8

Democrats cannot vote for a DHS budget that doesn’t restrain the growing lawlessness of this agency.

It has been an obvious, sometimes even almost stated project of Trump 2.0 to engineer a redo of the post George Floyd protests of 2020, this time with much more state violence. And now a federal agent has shot and killed a woman in a car at point blank range a mile from where Floyd was murdered.

If you aren't angry, you aren't paying attention. A woman was murdered by ICE in Minneapolis today. This should outrage us all. ICE out of our cities now. youtube.com/shorts/ecsmn...

Better. More honesty, Dems. This shit is bad.

Hell yeah!

Eric Adams was an incompetent and ineffectual mayor. So it should come as no surprise that he is also terrible at ratfucking his successor

Hudson News at La Guardia for an early morning flight. Kind of bleary eyed but the short, funkily dressed Black man next to me really looks like Flava Flav. Then he turns and yup, giant clock necklace.
