Saw a bunch of older white folks protesting in Brea today so that’s something

It is important to acknowledge who is standing up and who is just trying to get by. Every day Americans are standing up while the powerful are mostly standing by. Why aren't law firms standing up and sending lawyers to Minneapolis. Why aren't the corporations speaking out? Why isn't the media?

The moment it was crystal clear we were in the worse case scenario, was exactly a year ago when Trump pardoned every single Jan 6 perpetrator, including the ones that beat the crap out of cops and were convicted of seditious conspiracy.

this is obviously Bari trying to put her finger on the scale again but I appreciate the unintentional distinction between “Americans” and “Republicans” here

Killed my grandfather and my great uncle for speaking out against the Reich. Took over my grandmother's house with my mom living there as a child. And they were not Jewish. Nazis are not an abstract concept.

Ok but what are you doing as mayor?

Oh

Some people were confused by my ICE post. This should clear it up.

We are, quite literally, no longer a free society. What they get away with in Minneapolis is an existential threat to us all and the Republic herself.

Renee Good was alive when a physician bystander asked to assist her, and ICE agents prevented him from doing so. Harmeet Dhillon decided NOT to investigate the shooting. Todd Blanche said there was "no basis" to start an investigation.

Bro, people are going to build entire lives around the neighbors they’ve found in these anti-ICE signal chats. Marriages, lifelong friendships, weird hobbies. It is actually breaking my brain. I am almost crying in the club (chat).

Seeing Zohran instantly getting a bunch of shit done in like a week makes you realize that politicians could always do that on some level if they wanted it bad enough and very few of them actually do.

Today, it’s not your vote that determines whether the government brutalizes you or sends officers to your door. It’s your neighbors’ vote. If you’re ok with this happening to Minnesotans, don’t get comfortable. You won’t be exempt for long. In the end, a lawless administration comes for everyone.

Reminder: even if we accepted this — which, to be clear, we shouldn't — proof won't protect you. They'll say your passport isn't enough, they need your birth certificate. Brought that? No, it's a copy, we need the original. Have the original? Sorry, can't be sure it's not a forgery.

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports. And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.” Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

Nobel Please Prize

why have they been allowed to get away with this "paid protester" lie every single time for the last decade or so? is it just because its a really quick lie and its easier to just move on? is it because everyone is too lazy to just say "prove it"?

Pritzker: The Insurrection Act is designed for circumstances where your rights can’t be protected by local authorities This is exactly the opposite. Your civil rights are being infringed upon by CBP and ICE, and then they want to call in troops claiming that they’re protecting CBP and ICE.

Yes

Oh

Yes: we are essentially tanking the DHS paramilitary army for the rest of America right now. They have to break us because they’re pulling men out of everywhere else for this surge, and if it fails, what then? But they will not break us.

The Trump administration is now clearly just sending ICE goons to any place with a Somali-American population. Targeting a tiny city in Maine isn't helping them hit their deportation targets. It's simply ethnic cleansing. That's it.

Wow imagine that. Just doing good shit. Dems could never

Yet again showing how useless their whole ass is

Starship troopers animated

All the 2A bros showing their whole ass. Ironic the 3% would actually be first In line to join the redcoats

the thing about our boy Will is that he's just a regular guy, a bit more stubborn than most, out there with tens of thousands of of other Minnesotans, and if they can stand up to these fuckers so can you.

yeah it’s fun to joke on Bluesky but the reason I can chase ICE is that I’m out here with thousands of my neighbors. we’ll all get stuck in traffic together at a light behind a convoy and we roll down our windows and talk about who tails each car when they inevitably try to break us apart. comrades

wtf?

I’m sure this is the thing that will change minds

"About A Girl (MTV Unplugged)" but also, "Man Who Sold the World" and "Where Did You Sleep Last Night?" are always on my mind.

Sounds like transparency to me

Used to be a real country of laws etc

lol means lots of love

"You think you’re watching an innocent woman being shot and killed by an ICE agent, but what you’re really watching is the radical left threatening, assaulting, and targeting law enforcement officers and ICE agents daily, who are just trying to do the job of making America safe."

Journalists often go on hand-fed ride-alongs with agents. Seldom, though, do they get into the cars of everyday people protecting their communities from those same agents. We just did exactly that, in ICE-occupied Minneapolis:

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.

it is 2016. the cops have murdered someone in minneapolis. the dem faithfuls say they just need more training. it is 2020. the cops have murdered someone in minneapolis. the dem faithfuls say they just need more training. it is 2026. the cops have murdered someone in minneapolis. the dem faithf

new york city is Real America. los angeles is Real America. chicago is Real America. minneapolis is Real America. seattle, portland, detroit etc etc. sick of this framing that it's otherwise. shut the fuck up

The Supreme Court sets aside lower court decisions upholding convictions for bribery related to the FIFA scandal because the Trump administration decided to dismiss those criminal cases "in the interests of justice." The FIFA prosecution ends in a whimper. www.supremecourt.gov/orders/court...

Dems don't deserve a single dollar

Philly's got the juice

It is impossible to overstate the degree to which the entire national political media's coverage of the 2024 presidential campaign, especially once Harris won the nomination, was deeply, fundamentally, shamefully unserious about the stakes & the candidates.

Holy

Stephen Colbert on the ICE murder of Renee Nicole Good: “The message from this administration is clear. Only they determine the truth. And when their forces come to your city: obey or die. And if you die, you clearly didn’t obey. This should be an alarm bell for the entire country.”
