I keep thinking about the number of people that have to be involved to kidnap a small child, transport him to one facility or another, then an airport, then a plane, then another facility. Did no one on that chain stop and say hey what the fuck?

As Mr. Rogers said, “Look for the helpers.” Bravo, Minnesota!

Monstrous. The family has active asylum cases. No order of deportation. This is kidnapping. Literally illegal but who is going to stop ICE?

This is not a post about the mafia.

The choice is impeachment and removal or calamity for the United States. I don't see how anybody watching Trump's speech in Davos can draw any other conclusion. He's a senile madman.

Wouldn’t be surprised at the rate we’re going

We are watching one of the wildest things a nation-state has ever done: A superpower is committing suicide because the GOP Congress is too cowardly to stand up to the Mad King. This is one of the wildest moments in all of geopolitics ever.

And again I point out that Olympic gymnastics all-around champion gold medialist Suni Lee is from the Hmong community in Minneapolis. The Hmong were refugees because they allied with the US during the Vietnam War and our secret war in Laos.

First Amendment 101: Freedom of the Press

Three days running

Just so people outside of MN know - a lot of the US citizens getting “arrested” by ICE never get processed at Whipple. They are roughed up during the arrest and then often dropped off miles from where they were picked up. It means we don’t know the true scale of what ICE is doing based on ICE stats

Completely surreal teaching kids about MLK and Civil Rights today

the question to ask about this is, okay, he wants to cancel the midterms. how does he get the VA state board of elections to cancel the midterms? how does he get the georgia board of elections to do it? how does he convince republican house members to quit their jobs and give up their paychecks?

Non-protesting dad just trying to hustle his kids, as young as 6mo, out of the neighborhood. ICE threw a flash-bang INTO HIS car, all 6 kids in the hospital now. If anyone wondered how things turn against occupying armies there's a case study playing out in front of you.

Props to the lady giving an interview in her pink UFFDA hat and saying, "well, gosh, I've never had tear gas and flashbangs shot at me, but I'm happy to take it so my neighbors are safe."

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

Once again gender studies comes into play - most dangerous time for an abused spouse is when they are trying to leave.

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.

Near 100 percent chance that they just mean "he has a bruise"

every (straight reporter) story about ICE agents is like this, they’re all people who steal from the collection plate and beat their wives and and won’t stop making lewd remarks to the 13 year old girl next door and this is the only place in america where they could remain employed for six months

Sickening. ICE can’t be reformed. This isn’t a free country anymore.

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

Two truths I'm holding, trying to coach and support activists on the ground in MPLS: 1. Everything they're doing to love their neighbors is beautiful and brave and exactly what we need. 2. It is even more terrifying and exhausting than folks outside can imagine. They/we will win, but it is so hard

Here's the issue at the top for Kris Horn's team. You can see where Hunter Powell slips, then overcompensates trying to pull himself in. He bumps Ryan Rager and they both fall out. I'm not 100% sure what happened to Caleb Furnell back there. That said, incredible job by Horn to get that sled down

This may have been the strangest gymnastics meet I’ve ever watched.

Sooo…Utah is a vault team.

Utah having a balance beam situation

After federal troops forced a fugitive slave named Anthony Burns back into slavery in the 1850s, one Bostonian wrote, “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.” The abuse of power radicalizes people. We are seeing that now.

"I'm not mad at you," the 37-year-old mom told the ICE agent who murdered her. Good was trying to deescalate the situation. It’s always on the woman to talk down the angry man.

It’s easy to think that schools in Minneapolis are closed because the Feds murdered someone in the street but no, the actual reason is that while that was happening, the Feds were busy doing other heinous shit across the city like tear-gassing a school

I teach bystander intervention for a living and have taught de-escalation to law enforcement. Trust me when I say that bottle girls, gas station clerks, strippers, front desk employees at hotels and airports, baristas, etc. have better de-escalation skills than any cop I've ever seen.

AOC: What we saw today was a horrific act of violence. What we have seen and are now seeing is that ICE has not just become an anti-immigrant force—it is becoming an anti-civilian, paramilitary organization. People are being taken off the streets for exercising their free speech rights.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.

America 2026

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” —George Orwell, 1984

It took less than a year for ICE to murder someone in cold blood in America.

whichever candidate runs on prosecuting every single ice agent fuck to the fullest extent of the law has my vote

We could talk about poorly trained ICE agents, but this was on purpose. You don’t change that attitude.

Not only that but imagine telling yourself the country would reelect the person spearheading the insurrection.

Primary sources for January 6. Don’t let this disappear

Pretty much how the rest of the world sees it.

ChatGPT has encouraged people to abuse drugs. It has encouraged people to kill themselves. We are a ticking time bomb for it to encourage a mom with postpartum depression to kill their baby. It is making CSAM. But this is the future of our economy?

If the DEA had killed 80 innocent Americans in the course of apprehending one drug dealer, there would be riots. But we are so ghoulishly indifferent to the lives and humanity of people abroad that it's barely even part of the conversation.

He is completely delusional. We really are on course to attack Greenland.

Since nobody is talking about this…the US is a terrorist state

We Americans have to hold him accountable. Impeachment now. Other countries need to sanction the US and make it painful. We’re the monsters in this story.

Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing a text, writing an email, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing since the dawn of time.
