This is an excellent piece from the @minnesotareformer.com 👇

A few months ago, ICE hired me I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!" My latest for Slate

The masks are off, the excuses are gone, and the regime is testing how much terror the public will tolerate. What happens when the public finally refuses to be afraid? hartmannreport.com/p/could-this...

Wild mushrooms keep killing people in California; 3 dead, 35 poisoned. Officials have linked the poisonings to the death cap mushroom (Amanita phalloides). Please read reliable sources for identifying mushroom, don’t rely on google AI, the local libraries have analog books with good information.

Paramount sues WBD over Netflix deal. WBD says Paramount’s price is still inadequate. WBD said Paramount’s bid would result in $87 billion in debt and doesn’t cover expensive breakup fees should the Paramount deal fail to close. Suing the company you’re trying to buy, yeah that will work.🤦🏻‍♂️

Supreme Court takes case that could strip FCC of authority to issue fines. AT&T and Verizon claim right to a jury trial was violated by FCC fines. In 2024, the FCC fined the big three carriers a total of $196 million for location data sales revealed in 2018.

You can now reserve a hotel room on the Moon for $250,000. “We can’t keep everyone living on that first ship that sailed to North America.” Sounds great, but what happens if there is a dispute about the bill? Are they going to send you out the air lock to die on the moon? Going to need laws.

Judge: Trump violated Fifth Amendment by ending energy grants in only blue states. Donald Trump’s social media post triggers rare Fifth Amendment ruling. In fact, Mehta noted that similar projects in red states continued to receive funding. Hopefully the Supreme Court don’t bail him out.

Woman Hacks “Tinder for Nazis,” Tricks the Racist Users Into Falling in Love With AI Chatbots. Extracted as much personal information from chatbots logs. Real super heroes don’t wear capes. She did this in Germany, while doing a speech. The laws are harsh on Nazis, she may get away with it.👏

Frey: "Last week a group of our city's Public Works employees were stopped by ICE agents. 3 of the 4 employees were not white. The ICE agents asked to see the IDs of the 3 non-white employees and didn't even bother to ask the white employee for identification."

Here are videos sent to me of the incident Frey details (1/2)

Peter Thiel makes $3m donation to fight California’s proposed billionaire tax. Ballot proposes one-time, 5% tax on anyone in state worth more than $1bn and grant a five-year period for payment. All for a 1 time tax of 5%, he will still be a billionaire after paying the tax.🤦🏻‍♂️

💥Good trouble in Arizona today. We can be a bit prickly. 🌵

🚨 Has this abuse of power become normalized already? I haven’t seen anyone in power DO ANYTHING to stop ICE since Nicole Good was murdered. How many innocents have to die? 100? 1,000? 10,000? 100,000? 1,000,000? 10M? This isn’t about immigration. This is about forcing us into submission.

HAM radios are relatively cheap (20 to 25 bucks) walkie-talkie size anyone can listen without a license to SPEAK on a HAM radio, you need a HAM radio operator license HAM radios can still function when cell service is blocked ICE locations can be found/heard on HAM radios

They gave ICE drones, how long before they start using them to not just surveil people, but also using them to deploy tear gas and other deterrents? "I love the idea of getting a drone and having light fentanyl-laced urine spraying on analysts that tried to screw us". -Alex Karp CEO of Palantir

Attorney General Keith Ellison is a fighter also Muslim. A good man that fights even when it’s hard. All attorney generals should be doing this now before it’s too late. If you don’t, Trump will kill your economy and brutalize your citizens. @ag.state.mn.us

If the civil war starts in MN, it would probably be poetic. I was taught that Minnesota was the first state to send troops to support the last civil war against traitors to the country. Word is we still have their traitor flag.

So stark! 👏🏼👏🏼 #fuckice

One of the videos an ICE thug was shouting "USC 18 1 11" and saying it was illegal to interfere. But of course he was wrong. It's illegal to FORCIBLY interfere, think tackling or restraining, but it's not illegal to passively interfere by being in the way a bit or making noise.

Still can't get over how Apple and Google removed the ICE app that alerted people that ICE was in the their community, but won't remove an app that has an AI tool that creates 'nonconsensual sexualized images of women and CHILDREN'

She made them walk away by standing her ground. Reflect on that.

Remember when Trump told the generals he was going to use US cities as training grounds??

ICE goons just kidnapped a teenage boy in Minneapolis 1/122/6

Well done 👏

Heads up, everyone. This is their new tactic. If they're doing it with the governor's race in California, they're doing it everywhere, at every level. They're running Nazis as Dems. It's the Fetterman move except with a swastika instead of a sweatshirt.

AIPAC spends hundreds of millions buying primaries across the country. Now they’re trying to buy mine.

Website for ICE activity, and video of incidents. iceout.org/en/

So many people are so angry about this, and even as ICE becomes more violent and confrontational, even more and more regular people are joining into the effort to protect their neighbors. It’s inspiring.

Inside ICE’s Tool to Monitor Phones in Entire Neighborhoods 404 Media has obtained material that explains how Tangles and Webloc, two surveillance systems ICE recently purchased, work. Webloc can track phones without a warrant and follow their owners home www.404media.co/inside-ices-...

As ICE terrorizes communities, remember that some of Trump's biggest supporters are private prison corporations making bank off his deportation agenda. Trump has unleashed billions of dollars worth of funding for these companies while offering them "no-bid" contracts. Cashing in on cruelty.

This is one of my favorite new clips. This woman is wonderful. bsky.app/profile/thet...

Is this the beginning of the end for GameStop? The sudden closure of hundreds of storefronts isn’t exactly a great sign… GameStop has abruptly shut down 400 stores across the US, with even more closures expected before the end of the month.

UK probes X over Grok CSAM scandal; Elon Musk cries censorship. Grok tests if UK can penalize platforms for sexualized deepfakes generated by AI. All foreign nations should be banning Elon Musk companies, he is dangerously stupid, his products are very harmful to society.

Do something, @governorwalz.mn.gov. Do not let this happen again!

If police and sheriffs won't protect communities, and the National Guard might be unreliable, then @governorwalz.mn.gov needs to reactivate the Minnesota State Defense Force. Average people are already going to bat for their neighbors. It's time to give them legal protection and state power to do it

It can be hard to imagine how to defend oneself against an overwhelming force like ICE. But a few enterprising hackers have started projects to do counter-surveillance against ICE, and hopefully protect their communities through clever use of technology. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

This is harassment of our neighborhood by the state police. We didn't kill anyone, why are we being punished?

A serious question. What prevents you from calling up the MN National Guard to stand in the way of this occupying force terrorizing and murdering the citizens of your state? It seems long past time when this is absolutely necessary. Why delay? This is a red alert!

Who do you protect? Who do you serve? Because right now your boys are out there protecting ice and corporate properties while we are being shot in the fucking street.

🚨 The first of 2 videos showing Nick Sortor striking a woman in the face and then his own footage of hitting her with his vehicle. 1/2

ice is killing the men, they are killing the women, of America! And I have not made up this to get the media to focus attention on this, that would be some sick self-serving lying fascist bullshit. BUT THEY FUCKN SHOULD!!

He refused to bend!

🚨While on her way to a funeral yesterday, this woman was crossing the street when she had the walking symbol, however; she was not moving quickly enough for “officers” who stopped their vehicle. They got out, pointed weapons at those in the crosswalk, and fired rubber bullets at them.🚨

List of Twin Cities events canceled and businesses closed in response to ongoing ICE presence. MN businesses have been put in a difficult position by the massive federal presence. Trump just loves to kill the economy, create as much chaos, and terrorize the public. Thats what fascist do.

The psychology of domination, cruelty, and control that defines both men is now shaping the fate of entire nations… hartmannreport.com/p/how-many-d...

For folks who aren't sure of the differences between those types of warrants, here are examples. The one on the left is a judicial warrant--and it must be signed.

This is where the state’s National Guard should be. They should confirm warrants, identify and record names of federal officers, and act as Constitutional lifeguards. They don’t even need to carry guns to do this.

Ask yourself. If ICE is going door to door, what’s next? Armed federal agents took a man away in handcuffs. A woman came out of the house and said the man was her husband. It also appears ICE used an administrative warrant, not a judicial warrant. That matters….
