Oh, okay. I'll bite. The right to vote is enshrined in the Constitution. The "right" of armed federal cops to arrest, beat, and kill people with anonymity is not.

This is just open, unabashed white nationalist rhetoric at this point.

Trumpists do not believe that people who disagree with them are entitled to a voice in government.

It’s so funny to think about the fact that there’s people out there deferring every life decision to this

Just a thought. . .

The Cabinet this week *RFK Jr. bragged about snorting cocaine off of a toilet seat *Lutnick acknowledged taking his family to Epstein island *Bondi “The Dow” / refuses to look at victims *Noem blanket *Hegseth loses to Kelly, tries to tweet through it *Bessent “tariffs don’t cause inflation”

This is something the Nazis used to do to Jewish children in the camps. It happened to a man I knew when he was a child in Auschwitz. The camp guards thought it was funny as hell.

Lying sacks of shit. What will Tricia say about this one?

Evil. What the fuck is wrong with these people?

It’s between him and MarkWayne for Dumbest Senator once Tuberville retires.

Voter fraud. Anti-Christian bias. Vaccines causing autism. Immigrants eating pets. The War on Christmas. Pornography in school libraries. Litter boxes in classrooms. Trans kids ruining girls sports. They devote their existences to solving problems that barely exist if they exist at all. Insane.

Disabled American citizen arrested by ICE: "It's horrific, horrific scenes in there. There are black and brown people shackled and chained together... I ended up on the floor of a cold concrete cell that has no toilet, no bed, no blanket... We're not safe. This can't go on."

Sorry, his girlfriend and WHAT?

Still around 100 community reports of ICE activity around the Twin Cities today, the most of any state by far. In case you’re wondering why so many of us aren’t quite taking Homan’s presser today at face value.

This episode has been a nightmare for my city and state, but I hope people realize it’s also a profound defeat and political catastrophe for Trump and DHS, who are slinking away having accomplished nothing. Minneapolis simply wouldn’t bend to them and they lost

More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...

There are kind volunteers of the grassroots organization called Haven Watch who support released detainees in MN. They often don’t have a phone, money or clothes for the weather. www.havenwatch.org #HavenWatch #AbolishICE

Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones. Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

Can we please fast forward to the part where we have competent adults running the to government again?

Sometimes very hard not to feel like the rest of the country has abandoned Minnesota. We STILL have ICE everywhere. Our schools, businesses, and economy are in profound crisis. But without Bovino here throwing tear gas, much of the country seems to not care at all what’s being done to us.

Anyone in Minnesota will tell you that this matches the eye test. They are simply grabbing anyone who's not white. Full stop. There is no other strategy to this at all. It's a racist, heinous federal occupation. Dismantle the agencies. Prosecute everyone involved. Redistribute all the funding.

Again it’s important to remember the context of these chats is that a woman was shot five times in her car as she was attempting to donate clothes at a church.

Unreal. Bovino is a cartoonishly evil little man.

“The husband & wife before this court are charged w/civil violations of our country's immigration laws. Civil. Not criminal. That distinction is not a technicality or a formality. It’s the line the law draws betwn regulation & punishment. Yet these working parents appear in unmistakable prison garb.

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE: "I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

Then start imposing actual consequences. I don’t care how furious, frustrated or exasperated the referees are. If they want the rule breaking to stop, they need to start calling penalties because the behavior will continue as long as it’s met with nothing more than a lecture.

A lot of MAGA genuinely bought into the regime’s “immigrants are taking your stuff and once we deport them all, there will be more stuff for you” narrative. Others knew it was nonsense but went with it rather than admit that they really just wanted to see suffering inflicted on nonwhite people.

Infuriating beyond words. The whole point of enshrining something in the Bill of Rights is to make clear that it is non-negotiable and not up for debate.

These people are literally insane. They have spent years pickling their brains in culture war sludge and this endless stupidity is the result.

i think this more than anything is what miller wants. vast detention camps with all of the suffering and death that means.

It is. The Jewish Musuem in Prague has a collection of children's drawings from the Terezin ghetto. It was the worst thing I've seen in my life.

It's actually incredibly easy to do this. You just don't treat protesters & observers as legitimate sources. Funnily, you do treat ICE agents as legitimate. Maybe this is a YOU problem

the media talking about conservatives when a dem is president: "we found 5 hicks who disagree with objective reality and we think they are correct" the media talking about a liberal city when trump is president: "they said they're softening will you just shut the fuck up and stop whining."

By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet

One reason Minneapolis remains in the world's eye is we have one of the most robust & independent media ecosystems remaining in the country. You all need this...and more! @mprnews.org @startribune.com @sahanjournal.bsky.social @minnesotareformer.com @minnpost.bsky.social @racketmn.com etc.

Am I the only one around here who checks this every day? My whole life I've spent the winter months longing for summer. Except even-numbered years when the felonious orange shitgibbon has been in office. Then I'm like "can we please just fast forward past summer and get to November?"

The fact that so many Americans trust what Fox News tells them is a huge problem without a good short-term solution. Regular people texting with their neighbors and collaborating on Google Sheets while Fox makes them out to be fucking Al Qaeda. But the J6ers were just tourists. Bananas crazy.

The moral, ethical, cultural and intellectual rot of the Republican Party captured in a single story.

Today they threatened to arrest all of the neighbors who came out and watched 20 agents struggle to change a flat tire for “impeding a federal investigation.” These are just clowns and they absolutely know it.

I’m on the scene at Franklin and 1st. A convoy of about a couple dozen ICE/HSI agents broke the entryway into an apartment building at 6am. No warrant presented. Less than 24 hours ago, Tom Homan announced the end of large convoys in Minnesota… Bullshit.

"Really hard criminals" Right. That's why ICE is hanging around elementary schools and daycare centers.

The “illegal and threatening activities” are being committed by the federal goon squads you corrupt, rancid, sentient canned ham.

Remember the incident where DHS claimed officers shot a guy because he attacked them with a snow shovel? Yeah. It didn't happen. They shot him through the door of his own home. And then arrested him. And then lied about it. Again. And they almost shot some kids in the process.

Vive la France 🇫🇷

Anyway, two innocent people are now dead & the city is under siege. And what this guy did heavily contributed to this state of affairs. The very least NYT could do would be to point out how everything he claimed to show turned out to be a massive lie
