This is America

This is breathtakingly good and absolutely correct.

Terrible situation. But that email he sent goes hard as fuck

I endorse this message

Hennepin County Sheriff Dawanna Shitt. So glad she didn't get the DFL endorsement

this should be mandatory reading for the entire country

NYT: "We want to this small-town diner in Oklahoma to aks Trump supporters what they thought of Minnesota's new flag"

eating in mexico as a european has gotta be like hearing music for the first time

As a postal carrier, I delivered a banana with the address written on the skin and the postage on a tag tied to the stem. It was still in good enough condition to eat.

Minnesotans are going to be so smug

Please, federal marshals, deputize me. I can be trusted with a badge and a gun

A nationwide warrant has been issued in the first criminal charges against an ICE agent for on-duty actions during the enforcement surge in Minnesota.

This is the inevitable conclusion of capitalism

We deserve a Hennepin County Attorney with clear priorities and a real plan to prosecute ICE. Here is how I will get it done: www.cedrickfrazier.org/accountability

No one will never convince me the Iranian people are my enemy

A computer can never pack a bowl therefore a computer must never make a playlist

NEW NEWSLETTER: In 1985, an ambitious game simulated the ruinous long-term effects of a conservative political agenda on a Midwestern city. It now feels less like dystopian sci-fi and more like current events. Read it (& see more cool images) here: www.popculturalprecursors.com/p/the-reagan...

What the US is purposefully doing to Cuba should be considered genocide.

THREAD: Cherise Doyley was in her 12th hour of contractions at the hospital when a tablet was brought to her bedside. On the screen was a Zoom call with a judge and several lawyers and doctors. She was in court, a nurse told her. The reason? For failing to agree to a C-section.

Watching more tax dollars then I will generate in my entire life be wasted on trying to blow up a drawing of a drone on the ground and crying tears of joy that we are going to lose and the American empire will fall

Honestly I gotta hand it to Trump. If someone had told me they had a plan to get 23% of the GOP to support abolishing ICE I would have called them a liar. Any democrat who isn't all in on this is either deeply committed to cruelty or has the political instincts of a half-baked potato.

if you expect a quick end to the iranian regime just because its leadership was decapitated you may be disappointed. like imagine if the situation were reversed and america's supreme leader and defense secretary had been killed. that's right, go ahead, imagine it. think about it all day if you like.

Beside the point but it's driving me fucking crazy that people are spelling this Tarzhay instead of what anyone with intellect knows is Targét. These are the same people who call the little appetizers ordervs.

I fucking hate democrats man. My opposition to senseless war is not how much it costs!!!!!!!!!

don't wanna get in trouble so lets just say i'd like a chance to "crust" david frum's "bread" open with a "dough" bar so bad the "flour" is slippery with "grains" and you'll "knead" at "yeast" a "whole wheat" to scrape "challah" the bits into a pile and "baguette" up. for his "roll" in the Iraq war

There should be variant of baseball that's more like dodgeball and the batters try to defend you from the pitchers as you run around the bases

I have another direct ask for a family in hiding. Please help If you can. gofund.me/ad9de5301

Happy for her but imagine leaving China because you oppose authoritarianism, and now in the US 30 years later the president is trying to make cancer and pedophilia mandatory under threat of death for all cishet white Americans and concentration camps for everyone else, while China builds free energy

The more of these fascist atrocities I see, the more I become an immigration maximalist. Let everyone in, give everyone work permits/green cards. Make it possible to get citizenship within a few months. Make it as easy as getting a driver's license.

Last thing before I head to Saint Paul. ICE has been all over us this morning. Bus stops, apt buildings, following kids. Don’t believe for a second this is over. Keep supporting your community. Keep helping your neighbors. Keep up the fight. Donate -> www.givemn.org/organization...

For those of you who grew up after 9/11, we got along just fine without a Department of Homeland Security for 212 years. The DHS was formed to try to prevent future terror attacks — now, it is orchestrating them.

He literally says in this clip that ICE will keep in Minnesota “quick reaction forces” — a military term — to go after “agitators.” Remember that those on the ground in MPLS have spent more than a week trying to tell everyone that Trump’s prior “deescalation” was a ruse and ICE is still operational

I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it. I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.” 1/

Legal status doesn’t matter: if you exceed ICE’s melanin threshold, you get snatched. It is ethnic cleansing. There is no other word for it. The news has shown you video of these often violent detentions. What you don’t see is what happens to these individuals after. I’ve had a front row seat. 7/

A National Labor Relations Board administrative law judge ruled that Starbucks' district manager violated federal labor law (in part) because he used too many evasive buzzwords in lieu of straightforward answers in his testimony. Lol, lmao: www.nlrbedge.com/p/02102026-a...

As Minnesota's senior senator runs to replace Tim Walz as governor, her votes and positions on Trump, ICE, and labor should be disqualifying to progressive voters.

Lady’s husband was kidnapped during an immigration check-in and has now left a 1-year-old and 5-year-old without a father. Donations will help with lawyer fees, rent, and necessities for the family that is struggling to stay afloat during these hard times. gofund.me/d33bfc9c3

We could well make ourselves ungovernable

I’ve been an attorney for 20+ years, the majority of which working with cops, as a prosecutor, public defender, and management labor attorney, and all I can tell you is your average cop at best doesn’t care about you, at worst actively despises you, and some dream about shooting you

They just blindly shot through the fucking door. "Additional photographs show damage consistent with a bullet fragment lodged in a bedroom wall down the hallway — suggesting it traveled between a mattress and a portable crib in a room where several small children sleep."

DFL has not released their straw poll results, which were likely tabulated last night. The most likely explanation: it's not looking good for Amy.

Klobuchar can talk a big game on the Sunday shows but she is not on our side. All she's done is normalize Trump.

Adding to this news: four more children from Liam’s Columbia Heights school district are believed to be still in TX in ICE custody. This includes two elementary students from Liam’s school as well as another high school and elementary student from his district, according to CH district leaders.

Boosting this GFM for Ward 11 rental assistance organized by @jamisonwhiting.bsky.social. Also includes an email address for folks in W11 to contact if they need assistance: www.gofundme.com/f/minneapoli...

My dear friend @megl.bsky.social won with a +91 margin. +91! At her victory party, I showed her the ward breakdown on my phone. Meg identified the ones where she got only 94% of the vote instead of 95% and she pledged to do more outreach.

Works far from over
