one thing i'd add is that there are thousands of comparatively-powerless people out there fighting and marching and AND THEY DIDN'T NEED A BAZILLION PHONE CALLS SAYING 'HEY PLEASE DO SOMETHING' TO MAKE THEM DO IT

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.

once again i am asking literally anyone in a position of power to do literally anything so that our neighbors stop getting fucking murdered in the street

Appears this is also true for fascism.

the video of another person being murdered by the state on the streets of minneapolis shows exactly what people are saying it shows. make your own choices but don’t feel like you are obligated to bear witness to it. reading a description is enough.

I don’t think immediate execution is a reasonable punishment for annoying the heavily-armed masked agents of the state.

Here’s some language for headlines that none of our media will use: “Security forces summarily executed a political dissent opposed to the ongoing violent occupation and oppression of multiple groups by the country’s current regime.” There. I’m out. I don’t think I can stomach social media today.

The streets of Minneapolis were filled with the voices of resistance. 50,000 plus I'm -15° weather to stand against the terror of ICE In their communities.

not even trying to figure out what in the first parts are lies, just going with that second to last thing; why do u think they were hesitant to open the door

I mean, clergy are showing up in mass numbers to protest ICE and help the community.

Any mega church pastors here? I’m curious.

It’s their time to shine. theonion.com/third-amendm...

NEW: The House just passed the DHS funding bill. Seven Democrats voted yes: Henry Cuellar of Texas Jared Golden of Maine Laura Gillen of New York Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington State Don Davis of North Carolina Tom Souzzi of New York Vincente Gonzalez of Texas

“Look: Rome wasn’t burned in a day.”

Cancel the World Cup and Olympics. No one should be coming here. It’s not safe at all

Respectfully, look at this fucking bullshit that we’re dealing with, not a single person here has “taken the bait.” We have born witness as little kids are used as bait and neighbors are kidnapped on our streets. A mad dipshit is going to invoke the Insurrection Act regardless and you are blaming us

state-sponsored child trafficking

Your regular reminder that Republicans in Congress approve of what the President is doing.

Tanking the US economy because you want land that doesn't belong to you for your tech bros to build government free cities with slaves to serve them.

This whole thread. Fraud in welfare has always been exceedingly rare. Always. The safeguards designed to prevent more fraud typically cost more than the fraud. We waste money preventing fraud and people still believe there’s rampant fraud bc Republicans lie.

“Kind, good, happy, gentlemanly, secure people never go Nazi….But the frustrated and humiliated intellectual, the rich and scared speculator, the spoiled son, the labor tyrant, the fellow who has achieved success by smelling out the wind of success—they would all go Nazi in a crisis.” — D. Thompson*

I would like to add that they were probably the same men who defended cops that kill black people.

The reason the “paid protestor” accusation is so popular is that these are people who cannot imagine doing something because it’s right, to stand up for a principle, talking to other people like that.

As a Minneapolis local I am begging you NOT to donate to the Star Tribune. They are a mouthpiece for police, corporations, and conservatives who repeat those voices unquestioningly.

I would like to underscore this part: "People are in the streets in greater numbers than the first Trump term." Elite pundits and opinion are extremely resistant to this fact and it has trickled down to regular people. But it is demonstrably TRUE. Ask why they are so resistant? Who does it serve?

His 6 month old stopped breathing! HIS SIX MONTH OLD STOPPED BREATHING! A father was getting his kids out of the neighborhood because it was unsafe & ICE threw flash bangs & tear gas at his car with children & a baby inside! His 6 month old stopped breathing & all the children were hospitalized!

The Trump admin, which says it was investigating fraud in Democratic-led states, quietly shelved a massive welfare fraud investigation in Mississippi involving public funds funneled to Brett Favre and others

Are Republicans just watching AI slop and pretending it’s the truth?

This is not a "let's wait for the midterms" situation, Democratic Party leadership.

4th quarter Bears. Hot damn.

Rep. Wesley Hunt (TX-R): "The bottom line is this: when a federal officer gives you instructions, you abide by them and then you get to keep you life" The Right went from Don't Tread on Me to Comply or Die in 12 months.

“We will invade your city without permission, we will taunt you, we will kidnap and harass citizens, we will smash our way into schools and shoot tear gas at students, and if you stop to film us and we don’t like it, we will shoot you three times in the face.” Tyranny

it is the policy of this government to treat democratic-led states as conquered territories and the people therein as something like hostiles or even enemy combatants

Today in Oh Hell No

This is why it annoys me when people try to make it seem as if this is how things have always been. There was a time when greater literacy and reading as a part of everyday life for people of every class was a national mission. Then it changed drastically and now we’re here.

Trump’s designs on Greenland are not about NATO security. America already has all the access it needs for shared security purposes. Like with Venezuela— it is *all* about theft of resources.

wait until they find out what Rick Scott oversaw as the CEO of a hospital chain that paid out $1.7 billion for defrauding medicaid + medicare — at the time, the largest healthcare fraud settlement in US history. Scott left with a $300 million payout. www.commondreams.org/news/rick-sc...

What if none of these things is a distraction from the other things and instead they're all just horrible things

This is persuading me in the opposite of the intended direction honestly.

💯

To sum up, a US president is going to war without congressional authorization against a sovereign nation that has not attacked or threatened it, and is doing so like a thief in the night, with no explanation for the American people or the world. It is all so unimaginable that it strains credulity.

Ummm

I guess I can take down the calendar I haven’t changed since October.

Ok how much did the military lose. The USPS is not a business

rich people will still vaccinate their kids. Poor people, however...

May the odds be ever in your favor

You roll into Ohare one week before Christmas and cause chaos in the rideshare lot for only one reason and it's not to keep people safe.
