Hi! Our team is collecting data on sleep and wellbeing of adults living in the Twin Cities metro area during this winter’s ICE activities. The survey is available in English and Somali stthomas.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_... Please share! (Thank you, @twincitiesgeek.com)

This is Frey’s entire plan to deal with the massive housing crisis his veto is about to cause.

"Jews don't belong in American society." Imagine a sitting member of Congress tweeting that. You can't. Thankfully, it'd never happen. And *if* it did, it'd be the end of their career and the biggest story in America. But Ogles can say this about Muslims without any censure.

My wife says I like The Pitt because "where else do you see competent people in positions of authority trying to help?"

So, consider how this goes: They deploy ICE to remove people who are “illegal” Kavanaugh says US citizens will be fine, once they show their IDs (sure, buddy) Kansas just showed us they can & will invalidate the LEGALLY ISSUED IDs of CITIZENS immediately & without warning Because they want to

Our Somali neighbors make Minnesota better.

Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."

If you wanna know how Pam Bondi’s religious protection & Tom Homan’s drawdown is going, ask if your local Latino church cancelled Ash Wednesday services or if there they need folks standing guard

[flirting] *you're

Nothing describes the soul of the Republican Party more than Pam Bondi citing the stock markets as her excuse for not going after pedophile billionaires.

*Epstein co-conspirators nervously watching the daily Dow closing average to see if they will be held accountable for their crimes.*

Federal agents are making our kids afraid to go to school. I'm irate - and everyone should be.

if someone says their business relies on catapults being built on the moon i dont think we should have to take them seriously or subsidize their business with government contracts anymore

From the Star Tribune/Kare 11 69% of Minnesotans believe ICE should be reformed or abolished 66% of Minnesotans believe ICE has gone to far 67% of Minnesotans believe there should be a path for legal status for undocumented immigrants www.startribune.com/poll-trumps-...

Punt Punt Punt Punt Punt Yay! Halftime!

The Super Bowl needs a timer to let us know how long until a) the next commercial, and b) halftime so we can plan bathroom breaks without missing anything.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century. He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

1. Turns out the Border Patrol officers who murdered Alex Pretti are of Hispanic lineage. Their names are Jesus Ochoa, 43, and Raymundo Gutierrez, 35, according to Pro Publica. www.propublica.org/article/alex...

Rhetoric didn’t kill Renee Good or Alex Pretti. An unaccountable federal police force did.

donald trump is far from the only washington leader completely out of touch with reality

He literally pulled a "you should smile more" IN RESPONSE TO AN EPSTEIN QUESTION.

You’re describing an emergency. The world is also watching you and waiting for you to do something. Are you going to establish an eviction moratorium? Rent is due today.

The abductions and violence/murders are horrific and need to stop. AND we also need to be talking more about the suffering of neighbors across Minneapolis and MN who have been forced to hide in their homes for 2 MONTHS, unable to work, feed their families and get medical care.

Two reports this weekend of landlords turning in tenants to ICE.

Epstein’s economic power among academics was made possible by a capitalist system that makes higher education dependent on the charity economy rather than a public good supported by taxing the rich

Among many other protests against ICE today, sit-ins at Target stores were held nationwide this afternoon, calling on the corporation to "stop collaborating with ICE." Protesters with signs sang songs & chanted softly as customers passed by. This video is from the downtown Target in Minneapolis.

The judiciary is TRYING to hold this bitch together and it would be nice if our elected officials could get on board and help

Remember, Peter Attia defended Kevin Spacey

Bondi directed federal agents to arrest four journalists. Georgia Fort, Don Lemon, Jamael Lundy, and Trahern Crews. All Black. All doing their jobs.

I support cleaning house at DHS. Greg Bovino should be fired. Kristi Noem should be fired. Stephen Miller should be fired. But none of those things alone will fix ICE – a new figure will take their place, and nothing will change unless Congress exerts some muscle here.

Quick iconic comic cover edit to laud Ilhan Omar.

Exactly right. Bovino's leaving? Great, get Noem to resign. Noem resigns? Great, defund and dismantle ICE. Go after Stephen Miller too. Bring charges against ICE thugs at the state and local level. Lawsuits. New state laws restricting them. Every possible angle.

Reminder: - Nothing being reported on ICE withdrawing - By govt’s own admission, 2,000 ICE invaders here, a still-astounding number - Unclear how many CPB agents will be removed - Tom Homan, the new Bovino, was the force behind ICE’s family separation policy, a bribe-taker, and a monster

we didn't finish denazification. we didn't finish desegregation. we didn't finish reconstruction. every opportunity for transformative change was deliberately sabotaged by american leaders who knew their wealth would not survive a world freed from eugenics, white supremacy, and war profiteering.

This is Minneapolis: You pick up food from a local immigrant-owned business following a vigil at the sight of the most recent state-sponsored killing. On the way home, you drive by two other vigils where the state has murdered someone in your neighborhood.

I mostly just stay off Twitter altogether but after double checking that the Walter Hudson post was still up I ran across this and just had to share so the Romancelandians who bought hand warmers could hear about the PROFESSIONAL GRADE LOGISTICS.

Remember the Bundy insanity during the Obama years? Armed guys occupied a federal office and one of their buddies took position with a sniper rifle aimed at federal agents? Exactly how many of those guys were shot and killed?

Just so you are clear: DOJ’s position is that if your state does not hand over sensitive voter data to help the admin steal the 2026/28 elections, DHS will send paratroopers to your cities and start assassinating civilians.

when it's so bad the NYT is refusing to both-sides it, you really done fucked up

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Vigils were held around Minneapolis and beyond Saturday night in the wake of the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti by federal agents. Photo and video: Jeff Wheeler, Anthony Souffle, Simon Peter Groebner/The Minnesota Star Tribune.

There’s a rally going on in Boston rn and they’re chanting “we’re not cold, we’re not afraid, MN taught us to be brave!” and I might cry

I've been studying the history of US, and indeed, global policing my whole career and I can't make it more clear to law makers that this isn't a bastardization of policing, it is its purest form and logical conclusion. The impunity, militarization, deference, legitimacy, racial targeting, etc.

I remain absolutely furious that all this shit in Minneapolis started because a barely-literate homeschooled mormon made a video trying to run up in daycare centers trying to find people of Somalian descent doing fraud despite the ringleader (a white woman) being in jail since March. Demonic.

one of the things that makes today hard is that yesterday felt, for such a brief moment, hopeful.

It's OK to grieve.

He wasn't a domestic terrorist. A domestic terrorist was the Oklahoma City bomber. This was a VA nurse looking out for his neighbors.

How can you help Minnesotans right now? Call your goddamn Dem Senator and tell them you will never vote for them again if they do not shut the government down over this. If you have a republican, call them and call them fucking cowards.
