This is what I need cis folks to understand. It's been a decade. Imagine living TEN FUCKING YEARS watching as a blatant, artificial campaign to erase your personhood, your identity and your safety chugs along, increasing in power every single day, and most people don't care or dismiss it

M&Ms CEO: 'most, if not all' meals can be replaced by M&Ms within 12-18 months

Wow it is almost like this is not a democracy anymore... ... ...

I'm really happy that it looks like Bovino is being underbussed, with Noem likely to follow. But that's certainly not enough. Trump is obviously trying to distance himself from the murders of Good & Pretti & the chaos in MPLS but he bears ultimate responsibility. Don't let him (or Miller) slide

Target Center dunkers wear “ICE OUT” t-shirts

The nurses are pissed

A doctor who witnessed the shooting submits a sworn declaration in federal litigation to halt ICE surge in MN: "I did not see him attack the agents or brandish a weapon of any kind." and "The victim had at least three bullet wounds in his back." Read storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

What the hell? So it's a protection racket but with confidential voter information instead of cash payments.

Read every word.

Thing #2: Propaganda chain: Detailed ,(false, per videos) statements by DHS/Noem/etc out well before any investigation could have happened. Not surprising, but also not normal & shouldn't be normalized. Reporters need to be asking Abt this & all coms need subpoenaed when that power is available.

Thing #1: The eyewitnesses. There are multiple reports of witnesses being taken from the scene by CPB. I haven't seen anyone in the national media cover this or ask about it. Confirmed? Who was taken? Where are they now? Nat'l press needs to be asking.

Beyond helping establish DHS itself in 2003, Mr. Mitnick was a senate-confirmed Trump choice for General Counsel for DHS in his first term. I've talked with him a few times, and he's not a man for hyperbole. So bear that in mind when you see him calling out DHS's "lawlessness, fascism, and cruelty."

The Trump/ICE method is akin to stochastic terrorism. You flood a city with untrained hotheads. You pump them up with white nationalist propaganda and tell them to escalate and kick ass. You also make clear you'll shield them from any legal accountability. You don't know specifically who is going...

Video before it happens is showing this guy they shot in the head in Minneapolis was just standing there videoing them before and they got out to push him back and then murder him.

ICE officers tell media that the conduct in Minneapolis is part of a plan by Stephen Miller to provoke as much violence and death as possible—which in turn will be taken as pretext for more. “They’re essentially operating now in a resource constraint-free environment and doing very dangerous things”

Democrats need to understand that if the regime can get away with shooting people under the pretext that they were trying to subdue a dangerous person who was resisting arrest, it won't be long before they can get away with shooting people without the pretext that they were resisting arrest.

This is what happens when powerful people tell these goons they have immunity.

Warning: this is horrifying.

Doesn’t make anyone safer

Read this entire thread. Please.

It is important to acknowledge who is standing up and who is just trying to get by. Every day Americans are standing up while the powerful are mostly standing by. Why aren't law firms standing up and sending lawyers to Minneapolis. Why aren't the corporations speaking out? Why isn't the media?

1000x this.

Health care? Fuck you, die. SNAP? Fuck you starve. Gigantic icebound sovereign nation that wants nothing to do with us? Blank check, make it rain...

This is fucking infuriating and cowardly. Maybe it sounds "reasonable" in a congressional office but on the streets it's just aiding and abetting mayhem. Call and write Senate Dems and back them off. This is not nearly enough.

SHOW ME YOUR PAPERS Now in America The next step of the trump draconian nightmare Call your Representatives 202 224-3121 ICE MUST BE STOPPED ICE AGENTS are not trained ICE AGENTS are incompetent ICE AGENTS masked want to intimidate, scare, attack, and bully you With no warrant

Of course if he'd gotten it he'd also be sharing company with Henry Kissinger, so either way ...

Are we?

Any one of us could be detained for hours by ICE despite being a U.S. citizen. Any one of us could be in the next apartment building that ICE raids in the middle of the night. Any one of us could be the next to be brutalized by ICE for speaking out. Authoritarianism hurts all of us.

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.

BREAKING: Trump threatens to use the Insurrection Act, allowing him to deploy troops to end protests in Minneapolis.

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!

BREAKING: TIM WALZ: "If you see these ICE agents in your neighborhood, take out that phone and hit record." "Help us create a database of the atrocities against Minnesotans, not just to establish a record for posterity, but to bank evidence for future prosecution."

🚨"This is nuts! What the f*ck is going on, this is insane! ICE is just trying to scare people; they tell you it's only immigrants—it's f*cking anybody!" -furious Minneapolis resident tells our @zdroberts.bsky.social after ICE shot a man in the leg tonight. LIVE NOW ⬇️

“3 flash bangs at my car. ICE knew we were trying to leave. My 6 month old can’t breathe.” Trump’s goons terrorize a Black family in Minneapolis, to the point where EMT’s have to come help his child get away from the gas and chaotic dangerous scene (H/T @thejfreakinc.bsky.social )

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

It's bull*hit to lead with a headline like this...

Exactly right. Establish chain of command. Follow it up, not because we don't know where it goes but to show how it gets there.

I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen *Everyone has stories like this*

BREAKING: ICE agents in Minneapolis violently detained and arrested a U.S. citizen for one reason only: he refused to prove his citizenship. No crime. No warrant. No probable cause.

Best house of this quote I've seen so far.

I need people to wrap their minds around the fact that here in Minneapolis, ICE broke the window of a vehicle yesterday, pepper sprayed the occupants, and arrested them, and shot another observer in the face today, and OBSERVERS ARE STILL GOING OUT TO PROTECT THEIR NEIGHBORS AT MASSIVE PERSONAL RISK

Make it viral.

Piracy. 🏴‍☠️ — And by “to benefit the people” he means himself and his friends.
