There isn’t a bad performance in this. #JudgmentAtNuremberg #TCMParty

Ousting Bovino changes nothing.

Am I living in a parallel reality?

Something important to understand about ICE thugs in the Twin Cities is that they're harassing innocent kids and parents at bus stops and schools every single day. Even after the Pretti shooting. It's terrorism.

I don’t know about you but I could sure go for a mosquito bite and a sunburn right now.

This database will become known as the "free drinks wherever they go database"

Tell me you don’t know any Minnesotans without telling me you don’t know any Minnesotans. This is just going to get more people on the street. This data base will referenced on dating apps and social media profile pics.

Time for everyone paying attention to Minnesota's General Strike to read up on Aquatennial & Bloody Friday - Minneapolis

Today in 1973 Sweet appeared at the Grand Hall in Kilmarnock, Scotland and were driven offstage by a barrage of bottles. The incident inspired their song ‘The Ballroom Blitz’.

Can we please stop using homophobic imagery to describe Trump sycophants?

I miss having a legitimate government

The videos are available for both incidents. It’s obvious what happened to anyone with a functioning set of eyes and a brain. Yet we’re getting all these interpretations like this is a 2026 version of Rashomon. Holding our leaders accountable and telling the truth is your job. Act like it! (4/4)

You can’t try to enact a modern version of the Fairness Doctrine when empirical evidence only matters to one side. There are not two sides to citizens being murdered in the street for peacefully protesting. Stop it! (3/4)

I believe in legitimate debate where both sides come to the table for discussions that do a service to the public. But that can only happen when both sides come to the table in good faith. (2/4)

Media, we need to have a conversation. Sanewashing this administration is a big part of how we got to this tipping point. As one with a BA in journalism, I feel compelled to say something. (1/4)

If you're wondering how reporting on Minnesota by people unfamiliar with Minnesota is going, someone located Fort Snelling as sitting at the mouth of the Mississippi River.

Does one really have to be familiar with Minnesota to know where the mouth of the Mississippi isn't?

TAPPER: They're asking for voter roll information after the death of Alex Pretti. What was it like to see that letter? SIMON: It was really deeply disturbing. Literally hours after the second killing of a citizen in Minneapolis by ICE agents, there's this ransom note

This is quintessential Minnesota speak.

Ellison: "We have the right as a state, as a co-sovereign, to do our own business with our own tax money. What the federal govt has said is, 'if you don't do it our way, we're gonna saturate your state with 4,000 ICE agents until you cry uncle and obey us.' That's unconstitutional and illegal."

In case anyone is interested, JUDGMENT AT NUREMBERG (1961) is on @tcmtv.bsky.social this afternoon at 2:30 CT.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Watch this space. The idiots in the regime are including ICE agents in diplomatic protection details abroad, and Italian elected leaders are not having it. The mayor of Milan calls ICE "a militia that kills."

Don’t be lulled. Trump can remove Bovino, but that won’t stop the lies, the sadism, the violence, the lawlessness.

We go through this every few years: NO ONE HERE CALLS CEDAR RIVERSIDE LITTLE MOGADISHU (today in the NYT / a twitter exchange from over seven years ago, though this has been going on for ages)

It doesn't surprise me to learn that the boys who were bullies in my elementary school 50 years ago are now the grown men defending what ICE has done to our communities. It does disappoint me to learn that some of the kids who weren't bullies support them too. We can't be friends.

I was born in Minnesota. In Hennepin county. I was raised in Minnesota. I went to school in the south metro from kindergarten until graduation in 1984. I lived in Wisconsin for three years. I lived in Idaho for 17 years. For 39 of my 59 years, I have lived in Minnesota. 1/2

Legitimate question: why do people keep posting screenshots of their birthday balloons from the place formerly known as twitter? Why do those birthday balloons mean anything now? I will be glad to wish you a happy birthday. Why drag that place into it?

How I wish! Looks like Bovino.

To prison with them all, I say.

Scalise: "ICE and CBP are in a lot of places around the country and you don't these problems anywhere but Minneapolis" Yeah, how many other cities had 3k goons surged into them, vastly outnumbering all other law enforcement agencies? The scale here is insane.

I thought his former job was haunting the woods of Appalachia as a boogeyman for all the local children

Trump tried to break the Twin Cities but we stood strong, and now *they* are backing down. Makes me feel proud to live here.

reported ICE activities in the Twin Cities this morning -- terrorizing a daycare -- drawing weapons outside a bank

although it’s worth noting that even if this was purely an automatic transcript mistake, a human should have caught it before sharing it with the world

Now I want to know which CNN reporter or producer doesn't know the word "sycophant."

They could do better with their TONE? Funny how Ted says they come out "guns blazing." That's an interesting metaphor for their tone when literal guns blazing are the problem. Don't murder people, and you won't have to worry about the tone used to describe the murder.

Image is from A Bar Of Their Own in Minneapolis. If you're in a position to help financially, don't waste your money being performative and ridiculous. For ideas, see the bar's instagram www.instagram.com/abaroftheiro...

Scalise lies: "The want to defund ICE. They defunded police. The police chief of Mpls said yesterday multiple times how stretched thin his department is. They don't have enough people because Mpls defunded the police." (Police were not defunded and MPD is stretched thin bc of unrest caused by ICE)

Just so fucking tired of the gaslighting. It isn't Walz's or Frey's or any other dem's fault that a murderous ICE thug executed Alex. Stop passing the buck. Stop making excuses. Stop lying and take accountability.

Sign and automatically send it to your elected representatives (Senate and House)

THIS.

Do not refer to Trump’s ICE goons as “law enforcement.” They are not enforcing the law. Here is an actual law enforcement professional, the police chief of Minneapolis. He’s sick of ICE and says it’s time for them to go.

The language used here: "suspect", "riot", demonstrates Bovino's intent is to spin.

Alex pretti was a Va nurse and a dog owner

All the bootlickers and pick-mes think they're going to be living in The Capital when the hunger games are ushered in. Guess what, pick-mes? You're not going to be living in The Capital.

Fact check true 👇🏽

So someone on BlueSky called me the c-word for posting about a football game. Others are critical of posting about something as trivial as football when so many awful things are happening. So we shouldn’t post photos of pets, flowers or sunsets either? C’mon. We can resist AND live our lives.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."
