I wrote this yesterday about the hero city of Minneapolis www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKOW...

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

A group of local, elected prosecutors from around the country is launching an effort to hold federal agents liable for abuses of power. They’re calling it the Fight Against Federal Overeach, or “FAFO” for short—reminiscent of Sec. Hegseth's "fuck around and find out" moment. trib.al/QySFxXE

A US man removed ICE with a 5 second constitutional lesson; “You violated my 4th Amendment, and I’ve got my 2nd. Get the fuck off my property.” The thugs complied and left. #3E #FuckICE #GoodVsEvil

We need to talk about the rise of "smol bean fascism" where you have all the guns and the immunity but the really scary people are the ones with whistles and phone cameras and they're giving you generational trauma and ptsd by filming you killing people for no reason

I'm starting to think the Trumpist mastery of propaganda is failing them. The DHS agents posing this way makes it look like they're ashamed of themselves.

Potential homebuyers canceled more than 40,000 purchase agreements in December. That's 16.3% of all homes that went under contract, the highest rate since Redfin started tracking it in 2017.

SCHUMER: US IMMIGRATION AGENTS SHOULD HAVE BODY CAMERAS, NO MASKS

Incredible. Millions are newly-mobilized, questioning how their taxes are being used to hurt their neighbors. Republicans are in a terrible position. Democrats have huge leverage. And they may just go ahead and give DHS more money — as long as they slap on a few rules DHS is already not following.

There are so many elements of this story that are shocking, but these two stand-out: 1) CBP wrote its own Q&A to Congress. Then declined to answer multiple of their own Qs... 2) The vast contradictions between their report and the narrative first put out by this administration. bit.ly/3McseZt

The U.S. Embassy in Denmark removed 44 Danish flags honoring Danish soldiers killed in Afghanistan outside the building, drawing outrage from the country’s veterans amid heightened tensions between Copenhagen and Washington. https://wapo.st/4rfbSOz

The agency has "signaled an enforcement window of at least 30 days” in a city where Donald Trump previously claimed the Haitian immigrant community was eating their white neighbors’ pets. The governor’s spokesperson said there had been no “formal communication” of ICE’s plans. trib.al/UoHVwZm

Just visited with Liam and his father at Dilley detention center. I demanded his release and told him how much his family, his school, and our country loves him and is praying for him.

“The officer informed me that his director stepped in and told him that Maher would not be allowed to attend Wael’s burial.”

Trump and His Party Have Put Ilhan Omar in Danger for Years The Minnesota congresswoman has weathered years of racist smears from Trump and his right-wing lackeys, in the lead-up to Tuesday’s attack on her, writes @premthakker.bsky.social and @swin24.bsky.social. Read: zeteo.com/p/trump-ilha...

As mayor, Eric Adams embraced a secretive, abuse-ridden police unit called the Community Response Team. One of the unit's leaders, Kaz Daughtry, once pointed a gun at a motorcyclist and threatened to kill him. He's now joining Trump's DHS, @nytimes.com reports. Revisit our investigation:

1. So, an interesting thing about Minneapolis' response to DHS is that it showcases how pushback to Trump's mass deportation efforts developed and expanded over time — and how it involved religious leaders throughout. Let me explain…

From the Vatican: The violence practiced by Trump's secret police in Minneapolis is not acceptable and must be called out for what it is. www.repubblica.it/cronaca/2026...

bullying—and i cannot stress this enough—works

The reason congressional Dems are becoming more and more vocal about firings and impeachments is because the base pushed them towards it. *That's* why we should be critical of them when need be.

Honestly I think if the Dems could somehow win a mask ban for federal agents, I think it would be a huge start. The impunity these dipshits feel being masked up is palpable.

hey if you want to help people in Minnesota pay rent when they can't work due to the federal government occupying their city for the purpose of oppression, ethnic cleansing and terrorism, here's a place to donate chuffed.org/project/1671...

one of the agents said “okay we know” when we were whistling so i leaned in and whistled louder and he threatened to pepper spray me. i then said “are you scared of a fucking whistle dawg” and he very meekly said “no i’m not scared of a whistle”

It’s worth watching the videos (there are two) in the story. Two things struck me: 1) This is Wyoming! and 2) the questions are not hard, nor are the questioners rude. Yet she scurries away as though any disagreement is more than she should be asked to bear.

Since we published this, Pam Bondi's X account has started posting mugshots of Minnesotans arrested for impeding ICE/CBP. Sharing a defendant's photo publicly in this way is forbidden under DOJ rules

@nickturse.bsky.social found and detailed a number of patches and insignia, along with acronyms that can help you identify which federal agents are in their communities. Bookmark our guide for later:

A retired Minneapolis couple who had guns pointed at them by ICE in a church parking lot. "They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets." "They had the professional demeanor of criminals." ht: @paulgraham.bsky.social

I've always hated the term "virtue signalling" but it's fascinating that these guys now think that patriotism and pledging to defend your country falls under that umbrella. And what's best for Canada is not being the puppet of an America that has designs on its land and people.

we are living in the golden age for assholes, there has never been a better time to be an unredeemable asshole than the one we are currently living in

The real reason Donald hates Representative Omar... Her gut reaction wasn't to duck and run.

This is how “straight” reporting distorts the news. Trump says he wants an “honest” investigation. But the DOJ is not doing an independent investigation, and, instead, CBP will be investigating its own officers. Sounds like it could be a rigged inquiry. Trump’s “vow” is worthless PR.

Trump’s fundraisers are now using the threat of dispatching ICE against citizens as an email engagement tactic.

Congress has done nothing about Randy Fine celebrating Israel killing Americans. Or calling Rashida Tlaib and Zohran Mamdani "terrorists." Or calling to "destroy" 4 million Americans. Facing no consequence, today he blamed Ilhan Omar for being attacked. zeteo.com/p/meet-randy...

Incredibly, this is an actual photo New York Post used for the guy who attacked Ilhan Omar.

This is Minneapolis. Collective trauma, and neighbors helping neighbors. This is our 24/7 every day lives right now, not just a 10 second news clip.

IDK why right-wingers keep bringing up Obama's record deportations, it just shows that if you wanted to have a conservative immigration policy without partisan militias occupying cities and gunning people down in the streets you could do it and a lot of americans would be fine with it

If Jeff Bezos has a spare $75 million to bribe Trump and Melania while he cuts 16,000 jobs then he won’t notice it if we raise taxes to provide education and healthcare for a few million more children.
