In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

Republicans cut funding for health care to pay for Trump's lawless militia. Giving more money to use 5-year-olds as bait and shoot unarmed mothers is unacceptable. I will not vote to give more money to ICE until there is accountability and an end to these abuses.

AOC: An agency that is attacking U.S. citizens, kidnapping five-year-olds and using them as bait, and privately circulating the idea that they can violate the rights of Americans by busting down their doors—they deserve to be defunded, and I’ll take any step in that direction.

Bipartisan negotiators released a DHS funding bill that does not significantly reduce ICE and CBP’s funding nor rein in the agencies’ abuses of power. Make no mistake: Any Democrat who votes for this bill is complicit in Trump’s campaign of terror. Grow a spine and vote no.

There is going to come a time in your life when you are chatting with a guy, at a barbecue or something, a new coworker maybe, a dad at school drop off, and he tells you he used to be in ICE. You’re going to need to spit on that guy

they are actively trying to get these officers killed and have been for some time

also every officer who participates in this should go to prison, it’s very clearly and obviously illegal no matter what the department is telling them

ICE taking the position that the Constitution is meaningless should put the nail in the coffin of any discussion around training

Hard to claim qualified immunity for something you specifically acknowledge is unconstitutional

After taking the first step to impeach Kristi Noem in December, I am leading 71 of my colleagues demanding the House Committee on Judiciary start the investigation hearings into her impeachable offenses.

you may not be interested in foreign policy, but foreign policy is interested in you (this is the fundamental lesson that so many Americans, even those who are anti-Trump, do not grasp).

Dr. Gladys West, the pioneering mathematician whose work laid the foundation for modern GPS technology, has died. She was 95.

Invoke the 25th Amendment.

These really are the softest motherfuckers who have ever lived.

This is the sixth death in ICE custody in 18 days. This isn’t enforcement, it’s a system that cages people, outsources care, and shrugs when they die. Abolish ICE.

Verbal assault or, as it's legally known, "not assault"

I genuinely believe mainstream democrat string pullers have STILL not grasped how far right they are, compared to the people they consider their “base”

I've said this before and I'll say it again. It would only take a tiny handful of Republican Congress members or senators to stop the slide of America toward authoritarian fascism, but nope. They're all in.

Again, I’m going to keep banging the drum that the fact we are threatening the territorial sovereignty of our closest allies is not only a gross violation of our UN & NATO treaty obligations & poses a massive threat to national security & world order but also should immediately end this presidency.

This is quite a post www.planetearthandbeyond.co/p/reality-is...

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic. The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.

Hats off to whoever did this (and the beautiful model).

Here ya go. Brad Lander says abolish ICE. This is our guy, NY-10.

ICE must be abolished. It has become a lawless, rogue agency. Federal law enforcement agencies must follow the law, if they're going to have any credibility enforcing it. We are demanding justice for Renee Good and the prosecution of ICE agent Jonathan Ross for her murder.

if I don’t hear from you or you have to get off bluesky, I get it I want to outlive these fuckers and see their works perish from the earth

People who want to be elected to high office usually want to make history - in a way in which they are fondly remembered as examples of great leadership. Our leaders have now been granted the rare chance to make such history. They must find the courage to take that chance.

every elected with an ounce of ambition should see this as the opportunity of a life time if they are willing to break the mealymouthed consensus of mediocre substackers and instead listen to the polls heralding incandescent rage

We've seen tear gas and soldiers on city streets in full battle gear--of armored cars and long guns--many, many times over the decades. But in the past, it comes as the heavy-handed state violence response to uprising. This time, it starts with the goons with guns.

Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

one interesting thing about the Minnesota ICE/CBP deployment: as far as I can tell, there hasn't been a surge of Section 111 charges (for assaulting a federal officer) like we saw in other cities targeted by federal forces. I can only find one case since the MN surge began at the end of December

y'know... people tried to ban Mongolian immigration once before... It went... not great...

Some Democratic congress member needs to invite the “pedo protector” Ford worker to be their guest at the State of the Union.

Hey you ICE bastards let me draw you a map of your future

Fun to think about how, say, Tim Russert would have reacted to Bill Clinton doing this. Or Jake Tapper if it was any Democrat at all.

One reason I think they're going after Minneapolis is that it's a place that's much more normatively "American" than like, NYC, but at it's best provides a diverse and progressive Americana. It fundamentally challenges the chud worldview in a really specific way. Therefore it must be destroyed.

Add friction to everything they do and it adds up. Every minute of their time you waste is a win. Attrition is a strategy

These are absolutely monstrous people "Mr. Thompson’s resignation came after senior DOJ officials pressed for a criminal investigation into the actions of the widow of Renee Nicole Good, the Minneapolis woman killed by an ICE agent"

Much harder to deal with ICE as people organized and paid and armed and protected by the state than to have them be disbanded, off the payroll, service weapons confiscated, and no longer under the protection of the federal government. Keeping them is untenable and reform is impossible.

Reskeet this with your home river. Originally the Los Angeles River, now it’s the Beaverkill.

a general de facto suspension of the fourth amendment sure seems worthy of state and local Democrats...doing shit

In violation of what law, Don? Do you know what a law is? Have you ever watched Schoolhouse Rock?

some of these guys feel that they're showing remarkable restraint by passing up murders they're entitled to commit

The same question, same tone of voice, of a million domestic abusers.

Can we maybe stop appointing his judges and funding his government now

You gotta be kidding me. They need to shut down this government and ensure Miller cannot do any more damage.

Senate Democrats are CURRENTLY negotiating a plan to INCREASE ICE funding by another 10%

First fish of 2026. Also I didn’t lose any flies this trip. It’s going to be hard to beat this trout for the rest of the year. I may have to quit now while I’m ahead. Also I’m gonna need a bigger net. #flyfishing.

Every day the EU doesn’t follow suit shows how hollow their position on human rights sounds.
