The Hague isn't going to be enough, I need to see people fed to polar bears

It's particularly galling to call for ICE to wear body cams when Renee Good's murder literally recorded the whole thing on his phone. He was so confident in his impunity as part of that organization that he recorded and allowed for the release of footage of him shooting a woman at point blank.

I feel like the Nobel peace prize people could have avoided this if they gave their medal to someone who dedicated their life to peace, rather than just "this person is an opposition leader."

"Being homeless is illegal." "OK, give me a home." "No. Leave." "Where do I go?" "Leave." "I don't have a car. Or money for a bus pass." "Well, hitchhiking is illegal. Guess you're stuck." "Yeah." "That's illegal. Leave or we'll arrest you." Government Oppression is going to come for us all.

Phrase remembered from a dream: "wash the stink of history off of our bones".

Couer d'Alene will always exist in my personal atlas as "that place where you watched another kid drink a cup of gasoline".

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.

On January 14, after ICE carried out yet another shooting in Minneapolis, a crowd chased them out of the neighborhood and gained control of their vehicles. In this firsthand account, an anonymous participant describes what took place.

the president has declared war on an american state and the leaders of the opposition wont shut the fuck up about retraining the stormtroopers

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness. You could be next.

Democrats are simultaneously beginning to refer to ICE and CBP agents as "poorly trained." This message comes from leadership. They're trying to use it as a substitute for dismantling ICE and CBP and imprisoning their current employees. Don't fall for it; don't take any Dem seriously who uses it.

Nailed that omelet flip today. I'll take little victories where I can.

I love that we have a domestic Pétainist party and it calls itself the opposition

Leftists address this constantly. We advocate for universal health care and child care, guaranteed pensions, decommodified housing, and all kinds of other things that would directly address these issues. What we don't do is say "more white babies" which is what is really being asked here

Kinda surprised they hadn't done KEXP already

Our beef supplier has issued a recall. There's nothing wrong with the meat, they just don't like the way we use it.

I don't know who needs to hear this right now but in spite of what the government says, I am not George Washington and neither are you. To paraphrase Waylon Jennings, "Georgie he's dead, he's been a long time gone".

So the guy who wanted peaceful protesters in DC to be shot is threatening Iran for shooting protesters there. Have I got that right?

"Future youth Do conspire Facelessness is key Cloak your flag Dissimulate Divert, disguise, mislead"

Visited the vigil on the bridge after work, big turnout, hundreds there. All very Missoulian. Not much anger in evidence other than a handful of dirty looks I often get from progressive strangers for my chud-coded physique. While they're concerned, I don't think this is real yet to a lot of people.

once again: ICE is operating as if they have a general warrant, the specific type of warrant the founders were most concerned about when drafting the 4th Amendment

ATTENTION MONTANA

Dems pretending the problem is the border patrol agents are new hires are hoping you won't notice that the CBP agent that killed Renee Good and then called her a bitch had been a CBP agent for 2 decades.

Folks interested in going to these events are the folks that would most benefit from this advice: DON'T EVER FILL OUT A FORM OF YOUR INTENT TO PROTEST STATE VIOLENCE, EVEN WHEN IT'S LEGAL. Legality won't protect you! Your safety is not worth trading for someone's political project's email list!

Thread of people from Kalaallit Nunaat (Greenland) to follow, because they are being left out of the discussion while everyone is typing away about Greenland 🇬🇱🧵

“Banning X for being the CSAM and Sexual Harassment generator is a slippery slope for censorship online from governments” I’m sorry, did I hallucinate the part where America just decided TikTok wasn’t allowed to exist anymore?

Democratic politicians refuse to take seriously the fact that the USA is run by 18,000 law enforcement agencies all largely in the tank for MAGA. All despite people begging them to listen.

Breaking: MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Minnesota investigators say they can't access evidence after fatal ICE shooting and FBI won't work jointly on probe.

If you’re worried that “protesters getting out of hand” will give the President a reason to implement martial law in an American city, what do you think is happening now? They’re kidnapping and murdering people and the cops are being sent in to arrest people for noise complaints?

Was just remembering how I went through opioid withdrawals for the first time at age 11 after going through two bottles of codeine syrup during a long bout of pneumonia that caused me to break a rib from coughing. What the fuck was that doctor thinking?

‘get the fuck out of minnesota [or else i swear i’ll have a bunch of minnesotans arrested for protesting you]!’

This is Minneapolis: -drop the kids off for a day with their grandparents -go to brunch with your wife -get a text from neighbors who don’t have enough food & can’t leave home or they might be abducted by fed govt -get groceries as helicopters roar overhead -deliver food & this vehicle passes you

When Renee Good said "I'm not mad at you" what the ICE goon heard was "I'm not scared of you." That's what enraged him. The populace wasn't fully terrorized and cowed into submission yet, so he acted to make that happen.

Amazing to me that Donald Trump has not been asked once to comment on this insanely Neo-Nazi post from his Homeland Security department, nor asked who are the 50 to 60 *million* US citizens that his DHS say they want to ‘deport.’

People do not want to reckon with the actual purpose of policing. That's all I'll say about that.

We go live to Stephen Miller's reaction

“As a proud conservative Christian and the mother of three Bibles, a freedom-loving police car who’s married to a gun, it’s obvious Renee Good should not have…”

yeah they’re just grabbing random people at bus stops there is absolutely no attempt to even give the pretense that this is about immigration anymore. it is absolutely just a military occupation

It should be bigger news that masked agents were filmed hours ago removing potentially inculpatory evidence from the ICE shooter's house, clearly lacking evidence tags or chain of custody stickers. Before we have word on whether he underwent a toxicology screen at the hospital following the killing

1950: Akira Kurosawa makes "Rashomon", giving generations of pretentious assholes a reference to gaslight people with whenever they do something shitty.

Pete and Amy are really out here arguing that ICE isn’t killing people by the employee handbook when we are out here arguing ICE should not exist. They do NOT represent the will of the people.

Looks like ICE is now cracking down on … Native Americans. This letter was just posted by the chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in North/South Dakota: “Our Nation is a sovereign government and our members are not immigrants. We are not subject to immigration enforcement on our own lands.”

Apropos of absolutely nothing to do with the masked men with no visible agency insignia carrying crates of who knows what out of the shooter's house, but HBO just released an amazing documentary into DHS "shadow units" whose job was to destroy evidence of Border Patrol's crimes

Something a lot of people refuse to internalize in this country is that cops (at all levels) are almost always rightwing in ideology.
