I've been thinking a lot recently about the Black and Tans and how the Irish people **never** forgot which of their neighbors had been a Black and Tan, and **never** let them return to a normal life within the community. They were outcasts and pariahs for the rest of their lives.

im sorry but we just spent the last decade being told the biggest issues were pronouns in emails and a trans kid playing jv lacrosse if you said these things and got paid for it then you need to go away. literally if “woke mind virus” is something youve ever said unironically you need to go away

For years the Left said "You have free speech but your words still have consequences" and the Right freaked out. "Cancel culture," they screamed. We were talking about getting criticized, at very worst maybe losing your job. Now they say the same thing, but they mean they will kill us.

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

Never forget that the reason they are so convinced you’re all getting paid is that they are all getting paid.

People are right to point out the contradictions, but let's be very clear: There is no hypocrisy. It only looks like hypocrisy if you think MAGA shares American values. The MAGA vision is a nation that only protects white conservatives, and strips everyone else of rights, dignity, and life.

I said this last time but their real position is “if you disagree with us we can kill you.”

Let us all have the courage displayed by the residents of Minneapolis.

This is a very good point.

I don't see what all the fuss is about. ICE is just a paid gang of ardent white nationalists with a history of violence who write their own warrants and investigate themselves. What's upsetting about that???

I need everyone to understand that treason is action against the laws and people of the United States, *NOT* against the current government. What Trump and ICE and DHS are doing is treason. It should be treated as such.

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

Minneapolis Police Chief O'Hara: "The video speaks for itself. We have identified this person - 37-year-old, white male, resident of the city. The only interaction that we are aware of with law enforcement has been for traffic tickets and we believe he is a lawfully gun owner with a permit to carry"

At this point Trump is certainly going to invoke the Insurrection Act and send the military into Minneapolis. At that point it's up to our military to decide how to conduct themselves. If they want to serve their country, the military should remove ICE.

At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.

I respectfully disagree with people saying "Don't watch the video." This is our government, carrying out violence and terror and executing Americans in our names. We cannot turn away from it. If you choose not to watch, I won't judge you.

The Star Tribune reports that federal agents "attempted to order local police from the scene" where a man was shot and killed by feds this morning, but Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara refused and "instructed his officers to preserve the scene."

ICE agents: Enjoy your little power trip now, because we will not forget. As soon as your Mad King abandons you (as he abandons all his worshippers) you will pay for what you've done.

How many people will ICE execute before good citizens start preemptively shooting them in self-defense?

Local cops are finally starting to figure out these Proud Boys aren't their allies or friends.

ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city. If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.

Remember when these guys lied that they were preserving Confederate monuments because you had to leave up the whole messy contested historical record rather than erasing history?

Where is our national press? The government has been shooting at and harassing clergy for months. This used to be a red line. The reality is their red line moved, not yours. They’re cowards.

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi. He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael. At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk. Wael died on Friday at age 30. ICE caused his death. They didn’t get to say goodbye.

Seen in Minneapolis this morning

Suspiciously asking my wife who's funding her anytime she criticizes me

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

I drew this over a decade ago now. These days with the proliferation of ICE gestapo thugs in our communities, it's the advice I'm seeing about dealing with them. I guess they're just base animals.

She says ICE agents mocked her: “The ICE agent who had pepper sprayed into the vents of my car said ‘you guys gotta stop obstructing us, that’s why that lesbian b—— is dead,’ verbatim, speaking of Renee Good. Which filled me with absolute rage and shock..." www.mprnews.org/episode/2026...

Whatever groups Good may or may not have been a part of have no bearing on what happened the day she was killed. Nor would her membership in any group justify her killing. This is not an investigation. It's authoritarian propaganda.

Breaking NYT: The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter. The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status. That is a war crime called "perfidy."

things off the top of my head that i can think of that conservatives have called tyranny - health care subsidies - seeing pronouns in an email - being suspended from a social media platform - pride month - baking a cake for a same sex wedding - legal rulings against donald trump - EV benchmarks

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003 when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

Cool so in 100 years dudes can say "The Second Civil War wasn't about immigration, it was about states' rights."

It’s becoming increasingly hard to tell the difference between ICE operating in Minnesota and the FSB operating in Russia. It all makes much more sense when you think about it. Here is the FSB in Russia:

Its not that the media is not covering what is happening, but it does feel like the military occupation of an American city should be treated as a national crisis.

ice takes out ICE again 😬 🧊

I hate to correct you but I think a number of previous people have won golden globes

🙂

Rep Eric Swalwell told me exactly this in an interview on Friday, adding defunding ICE, an end to immunity and more support for state prosecutions of criminal agents: newrepublic.com/article/2051...

If you are an ICE agent, you should know that everyone hates you. Your family is ashamed of you. Your spouse is in the process of divorcing you. Your children will cut you out of their lives at the first opportunity. You will never again be accepted by society. That door is closed to you.
