It's been fun seeing The Consultants lose their mind about how they don't get this ad, which is the coolest shit she's done yet. (Also, yes, that's Matt Mercer, who I've come to learn since this ad dropped is more famous than Michael Jordan.)

"MPR News has learned that the police chief in the small southern Minnesota city of St. Peter intervened Thursday afternoon to prevent federal immigration agents from arresting a local resident" who had been observing federal agents. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Dear white people...

NEW: School hallways are silent. Grandparents patrol outside in shifts. Two more kids taken from Liam Ramos' school. Trump isn't deescalating ICE at all at MN schools. “I stopped wearing my high heels to work. I wear my boots to work because I have had to run." www.huffpost.com/entry/ice-mi...

Adam Serwer on the world revealed in the Epstein emails drop:

Boston friends:

ICE and CBP agents seem to enjoy gratuitously breaking glass—from car windows to store fronts to homes. It’s an expression of unchecked power and dominance: “We’re in charge. We break and shatter what we want.” And nights of broken glass have been a harbinger of worse to come.

In 2023, CBP killed a young Black girl that they imprisoned by incarcerating her and failing to provide the needed medical care for her sickle cell anemia You cannot reform this apparatus which kills people no matter which party is in charge Anadith Danay Reyes Alvarez, who was 8 years old

Just Beautiful. 🥹🥹 #saytheirnames #pinks

When we said “defund the police,” the public kept hearing “fire all the cops” instead of the accurate “we need to give them WAY LESS MONEY THAN WE ARE” 😡

There's a Buddhist saying or maybe a saying by a Buddhist: If you want to bring peace to the world, clean your room. Taking care of what's right around you is the key.

@andrewhickey.500songs.com I know I speak for many people when I say I can and/or can't believe you did and/or didn't say something about the ethnic and/or linguistic and/or religious group of people's benign and/or malicious actions. Sincerely and/or disingenuously, Me and/or someone else

Good luck with that. A third of the US population (~110 million people) collectively own more than 400 million guns. For reference, the US military has ~4.4 million small arms and China has about ~27.5 million.

ICE is not broken. It's agents murdering people, taking trophies of victims, using illegal tactics, breaking laws, spreading terror, and leaving death cards are not isolated events, outliers, or accidents. ICE is operating exactly as intended.

I don't mean to brag, but the Boston PD is being sued by DHS because of this.

Didn't work at Nuremberg and it won't work now.

What’s the point of legislative reforms when (1) the administration refuses to follow the law and (2) the Supreme Court‘s obedient majority consistently prevents lower courts from enforcing the law against the administration? Seems masturbatory.

Grant knew.

Maher Tarabishi was detained in October during a scheduled check-in at an ICE facility. He was the primary caretaker of his son, who died last week. The family is seeking Maher's release so he can attend his son's funeral. ICE reportedly denied the request. Unimaginable cruelty.

So basically Albert Speer’s defense at Nuremberg.

I wrote this yesterday about the hero city of Minneapolis www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKOW...

This was a whole lot of words to say absolutely nothing. Let’s end the era where these corporations control politicians.

“Please get the truth out about our son.” Read and share the statement from the parents of Alex Pretti, the VA ICU nurse who was shot and killed by border patrol.

For those unfamiliar with Edina this is the Minneapolis equivalent of a Westchester socialite walking down Fifth Avenue singing "John Brown's Body."

A reminder that virtually every Republican in Congress -- all but 5 -- voted to give ICE $75 BILLION last year in Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill."

Dystopia just means it's happening to white people.

This is Minneapolis. My block neighbors gathered where our street intersects Lake St. Holding candles in -10°F (-23°C) for an hour and a half. Holding space, checking in and meeting a few new neighbors. I’m so grateful to live among so many caring people. ❤️

An insane, perfect encapsulation of it all: The same day Trump’s agents kill a Veterans Affairs ICU nurse in broad daylight, the CEOs of Apple and Amazon join Trump to watch a private screening of a film about his wife directed by an alleged sexual abuser who was seen shirtless in the Epstein Files

Take a minute. This is who ICE murdered in Minneapolis today at 9 AM as he tried, as an observer, to protect a woman being tackled and pepper sprayed. Rest in Peace Alex Pretti.

He could have said this months ago, but people had to die. He could listened to voters, experts, other members of his caucus, but instead he waiting until people were already dead.....he ignored every warning and waited until the flood was up to his chest before saying "better plug that leak."

Dystopia just means it's happening to white people.

Nekima Levy Armstrong is a hero—not a goddamn criminal.

Even Newsmax says this shit is fucked up.

All the pundits who were outraged at kids missing school in the early days of the COVID pandemic are welcome to speak up ANY TIME NOW

There isn't much Third Amendment case law, and most of it is really amusing to read.

It's been months since I found out, and I'm still having trouble believing Bobby Caldwell is white. music.youtube.com/watch?v=r8xZ...

Standing in line at the hardware store and the person in front of me said, "But ChatGPT said you had it!"

During lockdown, someone said the 2020s would be called the Roaring WTFs, and I'm still in awe.

Hey, it's the least surprising news of the year! www.wsj.com/economy/trad...

Let’s talk about abolishing ICE. Very few people who say “abolish ICE” mean “abandon all immigration enforcement.” Rather, they mean “the structure of immigration enforcement is irretrievably broken and needs to be reorganized, just like we did 23 years ago when we created ICE.” /1
