When between being pepper sprayed, punched, and pistol whipped was he supposed to calmly provide them with a copy of his concealed carry permit?

What's happening in Minnesota is one reason the Reconstruction Amendments banned insurrectionists from holding office. Unfortunately, the originalists on the Supreme Court interpreted the plain language of the amendment to mean its opposite.

They can murder you for speech (1A), they can murder you for having a gun (2A), they can murder you for stopping an illegal search or arrest (4A) How much more of the Bill of Rights are they gonna murder you for?

Ready for round 1 of clearing the snow. I'd rather clear 3" three times than clear 9" once.

Republicans: everyone must be able to carry any gun at all times, up to and including high powered rifles, to protect themselves against tyranny also Republicans, without batting an eye: carrying a gun is unquestionable justification for federal agents to shoot you dead in the street

Interesting how all the gun rights absolutism melts away in defense of federal death squads -- who are allegedly the reason for gun rights absolutism.

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

Okay yeah don’t watch this it’s absolutely worse than the murder of Renee Good. There’s like six to ten ICE agents beating on the person and then one just opens fire.

We're not allowed to see the faces of the taxpayer-funded goon squad who is committing crimes in the streets, but the goon squad is allowed to record the faces of taxpayers who have committed no crimes.

As a Gold Star family member, I’m enraged by the bullshit Trump is spewing this morning. When my cousin was killed in action, Helmand, Afghanistan, 2010? He fought alongside British, Czech, Danish, Estonian, and Dutch troops. I admire and appreciate every nation that stood with us after 9/11.

New signs at Mac’s parking lots. I didn’t see any new signage around campus itself.

THE WOMAN WHO WAS DRAGGED OUT OF HER CAR AND ARRESTED BY ICE SPEAKS OUT… We’ve all seen the videos, but it matters to hear Aliya Rahman say it herself. 📌 She says her treatment in custody was dehumanizing, and that officers completely failed to take her disability seriously.

The lesson from the welfare-fraud scandal in Minnesota is that if Democratic state and Federal governments invest time and effort into fighting corruption and fraud they will receive zero credit for it, but the right-wing media-grievance industrial-complex will still use it to justify pogroms.

if someone punches your neighbor and you go to protect them, that does not make you a protester. that makes you someone who protects your neighbor.

I would like to think the Mad King proclaiming “I will continue to illegally raise taxes on the American people until the NATO alliance collapses” would be the type of statement to cause Congress to act, but I’m not sure there’s any red line the GOP Congress has anymore.

I know H&R Block is just implementing the law, but I hate that the needy incompetent fascist injected his name into my tax process.

The standard for “cultural revolution” according to centrist and right wing commentators is “liberals being loud about their opinions” whereas Trump is making prosecution, regulatory, and funding decisions based on the politics of the speaker but that’s also libs fault for making him mad

I genuinely don't understood how America took the emoluments clause -- the common-sense bar on a president using his powers to line his own pockets, a law children can understand -- and just said, nah, that doesn't apply for our Very Special Boy.

Sad that my hometown was considered for an ICE detention center/legal black hole. Glad the community shut that down.

When Fascism came to America, no one crawled on their bellies and kissed the boot more willingly than those who once defiantly shouted "Don't Tread On Me!"

The NYT has a new video analysis of Renee Good's shooting which is careful, accurate, and clear - he walked across the path of a moving car, then leaned in and shot her with his feet well clear of the vehicle. 1/

If anyone was still pretending this isn’t just about excluding trans kids from public life, the Trump administration just opened a Title IX investigation into a Maine school district because a trans student is on a *co-ed* cheerleading squad.

Why? Why are you voting for anti-abortion policy? Why are you voting to gut the IRS? Why are you voting to ban efforts to combat disinformation? @repwesleybellmo.bsky.social

The US does not need to steal Greenland because we can have any security concession we want under the status quo. US companies are also free to make mineral deals there, but almost none do because it's not commercially viable.

My partner @jasoncapsaicin.bsky.social made a step by step guide on how to break up ice in your neighborhood in Minnesota. Enjoy!

We were happy that our kid would be going to college in blue Minnesota instead of ruby red Missouri. But now federal agents are beating citizens senseless at has stations a couple blocks from their school. This is terrorism.

telling the secret police they have immunity to harm & kill citizens really lays bare the hollowness of decades of right-wing GOP screeching about encroaching Big Government - it was never a problem they had with government per se, just that it wasn't being used to harm the people they wanted to

BREAKING: ICE agents in Minneapolis violently detained and arrested a U.S. citizen for one reason only: he refused to prove his citizenship. No crime. No warrant. No probable cause.

Trump's glee at attacking and alienating millions of his party's possible voters seems to be consistent with the theory that they never intend to allow free and fair elections again.

ICE is committing atrocities that cannot be justified under any circumstances. I joined Rep. Kelly in signing articles of impeachment to remove Secretary Noem, and we must defund ICE and hold everyone who has broken the law fully accountable.

State of Minnesota, City of Minneapolis, City of St. Paul sue federal government storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Trump’s attack on Fed already starting to backfire. Republican Sen. Tillis: “I will oppose the confirmation of any nominee for the Fed—including the upcoming Fed Chair vacancy—until this legal matter is fully resolved.”

Here is the video message of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell regarding the Justice Department’s criminal investigation related to the Fed’s building renovations. Watch it. youtu.be/KckGHaBLSn4

This is less than a mile from where my kid goes to college. The Twin Cities are under siege by a malevolent, anti-American invasion force. The man who swore an oath to defend us from "all enemies, foreign and domestic" won't help, because this is all his doing.

#AbolishICE protest in Clayton, NO

I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland. Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.

lmao Mad Magazine has still got it

A friend of mine is a cop who was once run over by a suspect’s car. I texted him and asked him to tell me that story again and if he’d mind sharing what he thought about the killing of Renee Good. He gave me permission to share with you what he texted back.

I find it darkly amusing/annoying that the only reason Greenland is even slightly important strategically is because of Global Warming, which the administration insists does not exist. Minerals? Thank the melting ice sheet! Sea routes? Thank the brand new Northwest Passage!

The third Frostbite run of the season (the first we watched and the second Matthew ran) nearly lived up to its name, with a 40° wet morning. @eugenedaydsc.bsky.social joined us watching Matthew run an easy sub-20.

Ashli Babbitt was ignoring many law enforcement directives, & trying to violently break in door being protected by law enforcement.Trump & MAGA say murder.Renee Good was ignoring a law enforcement directive & trying to leave area. Trump and MAGA say she got what she deserved.
