Nothing so perfectly proves the concept of whiteness as a social construct than the reality that white people who stand up for minorities forfeit some of the protections that whiteness afforded them.

Minneapolis Council Member Robin Wonsley told me Wed. every local official needs to oppose FBI taking over: "Definitely do not trust the FBI, that has given authority for ICE agents to terrorize our communities here in Minneapolis. There's no reason they should be owning the tragedy they caused."

I remember Hilary Clinton and Barack Obama sleeping through the Hortmans, to both give heartfelt condemnation of violence in regards to Charlie Kirk mere hours after he died. and Look! The dumbfuck twins back fast asleep when its not a fascist being murdered.

From 30 years of being an adult leftist: there is no amount of polite respectability that will keep centrists from saying you’re being rude to them by existing and no amount of overt Nazi shit from the right that will make centrists agree to even moderate concessions to the left.

me: boy i really hope we don't get a bunch of milquetoast 'thoughts and prayers' posts from prominent dems prominent dems: can we interest you in calls for unity between law enforcement agencies

Amy Klobuchar is very dependable in a crisis. She will always, always offer the least useful criticism imaginable. "The Emperor did not submit a Planetary Destruction Form to the senate for ratification. The people of Alderaan deserved better."

The state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension says they've been informed by the FBI that US DOJ has said FBI will solely lead the investigation into Renee Nicole Good's killing by a federal officer. State investigators no longer have access to "case materials, scene evidence/investigative interviews"

Even the shitty Washington Post editorial board ends up on the right side of condemning ICE: wapo.st/3Yutyti

Lotta people get mad at me when I criticize Democratic messaging but THIS IS HOW DEMOCRATS SHOULD BE TALKING. Like normal people using normal language to communicate normal human emotions about the fucked up situation. THIS.

Chuck Schumer search history: -kente cloth lowest cost Amazon -ice Minneapolis lady black? -white women traditional wear -white women kente cloth?

Paul’s a good guy and he’s not trying to pull any shit here, but I fear calling Renee Good a single mother erases her partner, who survives her.

Lt Gov Peggy Flanagan on cable news tonight, dinging her US Senate opponent Rep. Angie Craig for being soft on ICE. youtu.be/VGl2Z9eonN0?...

After the assassination of Melissa Hortman it’s not hard to understand why a woman in Minnesota would be afraid of a man in a mask who says he’s a cop.

About an hour ago, @axios.com was first to report that some Dems will be pushing their caucus to shut down DHS at minimum over the ICE shooting today

These people will fire and deport you for insufficiently glazing Charlie Kirk but openly celebrate killings against perceived ideological enemies.

angie craig is doing everything she can to get people to forget she voted for the laken riley act don’t fall for any of these stunts she can start by apologizing if she regrets the vote

This is the other reason why Minneapolis Public Schools are canceled the rest of the week.

I actually think that if you’re a writer ATM, even a games freelancer or some other non-politics writer or whatever you simply can’t do work for the NYT anymore. There maybe was a time where I’d shrug at you for getting paid however you could but naw man. You need to draw lines.

Minneapolis Public Schools will be closed tomorrow and Friday. 30,000 kids will have to miss two days of school because the federal government has made it too dangerous.

CNN graphics put the asterisk in the wrong place, it appears…

Hi Angie! This you?

The national guard, MPD, sheriffs office are all coordinating to control protests. ICE agents breaking the law should be fucking arrested and why the agent today was allowed to leave not in cuffs is beyond me. Maybe it’s important to remember that billionaires don’t get deported.

School has been cancelled tomorrow and Friday across the city of Minneapolis, because our federal government has made it unsafe for children here.

I asked Angie Craig if she regretted voting for the Laken Riley Act after the shooting of Renee Good. She said “This administration is not using any law to do what they're doing in this country.”

Give me a fkn break. I asked her last month if, knowing what we know now, she'd vote to repeal the Laken Riley Act and take tools away from the administration to break the law. She didn't answer and walked away.

im sorry i know it sucks but journalists are going to have to be willing to get fired for simply describing what they see happening with their own eyes, you look like fucking morons

it's kind of pathetic that, even in this deeply evil political climate, Kyle Rittenhouse was too annoying to turn murdering someone into a rightwing pundit career. his full time job is that he has a blue check and posts things like "ha ha should i kill someone again" for money

There's a small but vocal group of Democratic Party superfans on here who think it's unfair to criticize the party but I think results speak for themselves. This current breed of Democrat has been in control for 50 years. What do we have to show for it

Here is the fundraiser for Renee Good’s wife and son, from a very trusted source.

Please support the wife and son of Renee Good as they grapple with the devastating loss of their wife and mother. gofund.me/9e987aead

Fuck you @ward4.minneapolismn.gov, do better. This a pathetic excuse, especially when you have done nothing for the last month.

Booker is going to filibuster for 36 hours to advocate for ICE obtaining mandatory 10-hour training about how to shoot people safely

Just a reminder that 7 Democratic Senators voted to confirm Kristi Noem: Sen. John Fetterman (Pa.) Sen. Maggie Hassan (N.H.) Sen. Tim Kaine (Va.) Sen. Andy Kim (N.J.) Sen. Gary Peters (Mich.) Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (N.H.) Sen. Elissa Slotkin (Mich.)

at this point I think anyone whose position isn't "restrictions on human movement are incompatible with human rights" is just worthless. how can you watch the last ten years and still think any kind of "immigration court" has a reason to exist.

ICE isn’t bad because they’re doing a bad job at something that is necessary. it is that they are wholly unnecessary, and their function is evil.

the obama admin expanded ICE, the biden admin expanded ICE. not sure just voting blue is helping

this was also consensus opinion for center-right types after george floyd’s murder five years ago. the state media apparatus will be working overtime the next few weeks to reprogram them

Black people five years ago: you know, they can kill anyone they want to out there Everybody today: hot damn, did you know they can kill anyone they want to out there?

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian Ohara on CNN. Tells Erin Burnett federal agents at the scene told him the only person injured was Renee Good.

Please stop reposting that BNO News account. All they’re doing is reposting information from Minnesota journalists but without any credit or sourcing.

The American citizen killed by ICE in Minneapolis today was a mother whose son is now an orphan (his father passed away in 2023) www.startribune.com/she-was-an-a...

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy. She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

How cucked do you have to be to have a republican murder your colleague and a constituent in the same year only to punish the people standing up for them? Good riddance to this fuckass dingus. Hope he's happy getting one more deployment of talentless sickos on his way out.

Total bullshit to justify sweeping up the watchers.

Hey, heads-up to everyone who doesn’t know how this guy operates: -makes a tough proclamation -asks police chief to carry it out -police chief makes excuses, refuses to cooperate -mayor shrugs and says he can’t do anything because he doesn’t control the police (a lie because he has top authority!)

don't ever praise this piece of shit in front of me again

he won't arrest anyone for murdering his constituents but he'll arrest you for being angry about it

Minnesota Public Radio says today marks the first and only shooting and homicide in Minneapolis in the year 2026

I am a simple person who thinks that telling the truth about things is important. I watched the video footage of this shooting, and the killing is casual and unhurried. DHS and aligned political actors are very ready to present a story of rushed, panicked violence, and it just is not true.
