I’ve started using the term “ethnic cleansing campaign” to describe the ICE occupation here in Minnesota. This is deliberate because the reality on the ground is that, at a given moment, any non-white person can be kidnapped by masked federal paramilitaries regardless of their constitutional rights.

People not in Minnesota: please read this excellent summary of what life is like in Minneapolis since the murderous scum ICE swarmed here. And more are on their way. By local reporter / writer / bike dude / legend @dbrauer.net .

It’s actually three guys but they’re all Peter Sellers

That first photo is a gut punch. A bunch of heavily armed goons too scared to show their faces bullying a scared kid with the full force of the federal government behind them.

RIP dilbert guy, your body finally caught up with your brain

He shot a mother in the face three times after she said “I’m not mad.”

he sounds like bush talking about iraq, but instead he's declared war on america

The federal government is now a southern sheriff in 1894 bsky.app/profile/pbum...

i hope all the people resisting ICE on the ground know how fucking inspiring they are. minneapolis right now, and chicago and LA and charlotte and DC and portland before them, you’re setting the blueprint for the future battles sure to come. thank you.

they abolished the department of education, we do not need a trojan horse to abolish ice we can just do it

if you put this in a script even erin brockovitch would be like “too on the nose, dial it back”

One thing I’d like to see is my senators and governor every day on tv at 5pm holding a press conference with video of every documented abuse that ICE is doing. Curate all of the witnessing we’re doing and show it to the press.

where’s the golden globe for acting like everything’s fine.

throw in a “and screw CBS”

This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia. Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.” Really listen to it.

"It wasn't murder, and if you say it was murder we will kill you, which again will not be murder."

I think about this July 2024 threat from the head of the Heritage Foundation quite a lot these days.

Godspeed, Bob Weir. I still get the nicest flashbacks from JFK Stadium ‘89

"White supremacists would have you believe that they’re trying to protect people like Renee Good from people like George Floyd. Instead, Floyd and Good were both sacrificed to the same false god." publiccomment.blog/p/the-poison...

In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.

I wrote a personal essay about what the destruction of USAID means for me. My grandfather worked for decades as a USAID economist and my mom grew up in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Nigeria. The end of USAID marks the end of a subculture and way of life that I think is basically good.

Literally the first news outlet I've seen directly quoting her wife. Even the NPR piece on Renee Good that aired this morning made no mention of Becca Good whatsoever.

Renee Good is dead because the system was created to harass, assault and intimidate Renee Goods, and because the people who do it enjoy it. Trump II's meme reign seems determined to persuade the last people unconvinced of this.

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...

one day you’re meeting with the pope, the next you’re “a moral stain.” https://www.ncronline.org/opinion/ncr-voices/catholic-vice-president-vance-takes-social-media-justify-killing-renee-good

The derisive tone when the right says “poet” in relation to Renee Good is pretty telling of the world of ugliness they wish to live in.

"This was a family that could've been like mine" -- Philip Bump breaks down crying on MS NOW when talking about the stuffed animals in Renee Good's car when she was killed

we interrupt the government coverup of the nation’s largest child sex trafficking scandal to bring you the government coverup of state sponsored murder.

@chrislhayes.bsky.social: “A 37-year-old American citizen, the mother of a young child is dead tonight. She was shot in the face by an agent of the federal government, and that government has spent the day telling despicable lies about her.”

Great day to have functioning eyes and a working brain

surrounding them after they just killed somebody and shouting “you can’t kill us all, nazis” is legitimate “ready to run through a wall” inspirational

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

the cowboy hat gives the bullshit shoveling more gravitas.

Murderers and thieves. All of them.

We don't have to live like this.

agents of the state murdering a woman in cold blood on video is gut wrenching. the government smearing this murdered American as a “domestic terrorist” is fucken evil.

masked, unidentified goons who assault and murder with impunity. a literal gestapo.

I need people to wrap their minds around the fact that here in Minneapolis, ICE broke the window of a vehicle yesterday, pepper sprayed the occupants, and arrested them, and shot another observer in the face today, and OBSERVERS ARE STILL GOING OUT TO PROTECT THEIR NEIGHBORS AT MASSIVE PERSONAL RISK

ICE just murdered a woman here in Minneapolis. A legal observer. Shot her multiple times while she drove away as ordered. She was a US citizen. Absolute, unequivocal, cold-blooded murder by Trump’s gestapo. Abolish ICE, jail for everyone in charge. This is the lowest bar we accept now.

we are under attack from within. january 6 never ended. it’s government funded and heavily armed now and being deployed to a neighborhood near you.

This is murder.

one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it

Glory to the Republic and those who defended her

when do they bulldoze marble Abe into the Potomac and rechristen it the Ashli Babbitt Memorial

trump did january 6th. republicans did january 6th. violent traitors did january 6th. they stormed the capitol, destroyed the building and threatened to kill members of congress. ashli babbitt was a violent insurrectionist. the capitol police protected people. these are truths we need to repeat.
