DHS getting basic 4th Amendment law wrong on its official Twitter account. Seems like this post is bound to show up as an exhibit in one of the cases challenging ICE/Border Control enforcement actions.

The Governors of the free States of America, particularly Democratic states, need to hold a summit to create a deliberative body and as a framework for collective action against those who would wage war against those states

Whatever’s in these Epstein Files (and we have some idea) must be really bad.

literally the villain in every movie ever

These so-called "patriotic" 🇬🇧newspapers who brought you Brexit were never really patriotic at all. They are driven by a disdain for Britain's European neighbours, and a fawning obsession with America. They do not really want 🇬🇧 to be sovereign. They're content being a 🇺🇸vassal.

The problem is not that we can’t impeach the president. Although we can and should. The real problem is that we can’t impeach Stephen Miller because we never elected or confirmed him.

excellent work by @theonion.com this month

People in Minnesota are now using their key fobs to trigger their car alarms from the safety of their homes when they see ICE walking around.

If you work for ice please understand that your kids will laugh at a character based on you dying in an action movie before the end of the decade. They’ll be in movies for really little kids. Like Phineas and Ferb shit. There will be an action figure of you with a detachable head

If a Minnesotan says to you, "I don't plan to let you do that," run.

Ahh! When I was an 80s kid malls had big themed arcades and now we have come full circle! And I have money!

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.

Eric Swalwell answering a question on how the next governor of California will protect Californians from ICE. “They're going to lose their immunity. They're not going to be able to drive. I will take your driver's license. Good luck walking to work, assholes.”

Feel sorry for US Athletics at the #WinterOlympics because their anthem is going to get booed the fuck out of.

Now the actual military has to dress like it’s not the military cuz federal law enforcement agencies dress too much like the military

There is a reason he’s forced to cause all of this chaos. He has NO PLAN. He funds no programs, no healthcare, no education, no lower prices, money coming in only supports more chaos. He envies other dictators. I challenge ANYONE to tell me just one single thing he’s accomplished? Discussion open

Fundraiser time for the Minnesota Indian Women's Resource Center warming shelter. I'll donate $1 for everyone who reposts this. And if you quote-post this with the amount you donated, I'll match it. www.miwrc.org/donate

Jake Lang thought he was real tough when he was hitting Capitol police with a bat on January 6th. You’ll have to forgive me for not being able to drum up any sympathy here.

We should keep in mind that the materials concerning Venezuela which the Trump administration claims were leaked by this suspect were in fact all leaked by Trump himself in White House gab sessions.

they've been attacking LA for months and continue to kidnap people , we were the first ones they invaded with the national guard and the only ones they invaded with the marines (?!?). I truly feel like the marines being sent to attack LA got completely memory holed by the rest of the country

Absolutely. I've written about this. The end of the Cold War removed a lot of seriousness from American elections, and in 1992 we were free to vote as if LOL NOTHING MATTERS and we did.

They (the feds) are not stopping:

New from my colleagues @leahfeiger.bsky.social and @makenakelly.bsky.social: The Trump administration is planning Minnesota-style ICE blitzes in California and New York, as well as other blue states. @wired.com www.wired.com/story/califo...

New poll from Navigator also with an incredible result; the largest drop in support for ICE since June was actually among *Republicans*, 25% of which now say they have an unfavorable opinion of the agency.

a fun fact about this is we argued Impermissible Chilling Effect in many OWS dismissal motions here in NYC, and the judge didn't buy it.

That’s not tear gas. That’s Hexachloroethane, aka HC. It’s incredibly dangerous, probably carcinogenic, and extremely toxic to people and the environment, and can take weeks to fully break down. Using it on people is a war crime, and on your own citizens is barbaric.

Every modern FPS game (COD, Battlefield) is set around this "realistic" plot of: "What if Russia got embroiled in a war with Central-Asian & Middle-Eastern powers and NATO responded?" to set the scene. Whereas Fallout went with: "What if the world ended because the USA is fucking stupid?"

Props to the lady giving an interview in her pink UFFDA hat and saying, "well, gosh, I've never had tear gas and flashbangs shot at me, but I'm happy to take it so my neighbors are safe."

so much to cover right now, but a thread i just want to throw out there from my reporting is that the car rental market in minneapolis is reportedly totally screwed up right now because ICE has cleared the inventory. rental companies should have to answer for supplying vehicles used in terror.

the problem with an untrained secret police squad that shoots people in their cars isn’t that they’re untrained

Godspeed to the gallant people of Minneapolis, who have embodied courage undreamt of in the face of the pack of killers with badges.

Full interview: Anti-ICE demonstrator blinded by federal agent in Santa Ana speaks out

If you loot your enemy's challenge coins, you own their soul in the afterlife.

very interesting phone number there

Trump sent ICE to make America bow, but we kneel to #NoKings. Join us nationwide on January 20 to WALK OUT on fascism and demand #ICEOUTforGood: bit.ly/findawalkout

ICE agents love to wave around paper that looks official. Most of it is a scam — administrative forms signed by ICE supervisors, not real judicial warrants signed by judges. Let's go through what that scam paper looks like versus a real judicial warrant.

Non-protesting dad just trying to hustle his kids, as young as 6mo, out of the neighborhood. ICE threw a flash-bang INTO HIS car, all 6 kids in the hospital now. If anyone wondered how things turn against occupying armies there's a case study playing out in front of you.

ICE is what happens when little boys grow up only playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and don't balance it out with silly little games like Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing. Not a drop of whimsy to be found in these broken men.

A mom in Houston reported her 15-year-old son with autism missing. She spent 6 days terrified, searching for him. The whole time, Houston police knew exactly where he was since they helped ICE place him in a refugee facility. This is beyond cruel. www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston...

Thank you CNN for pointing out that everyone opposed to this regime has normal, pro-social links to the organizations that make up a liveable society where you can do normal shit. Next article you can talk about how the vice president, by contrast, is in nazi groupchats with minors

but, you know, I’ll take an “abolish ICE” where I can get an “abolish ICE,” fuck it relatedly, what a RELIEF it was when this story about cartel violence explicitly acknowledged the non-prosecution of the U.S. funders and demand engines powering cartels (CW: extremely graphic violence)

GPTing this statement is just not giving “this is my sincere and principled position” to me, it’s giving “there are backroom Signal chats where we’re all discussing the realization that there will be a future where having supported this in any way makes you socially radioactive”

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*

You are complicit

I’d argue that it is key. Stealing a citizen’s phone is neither necessary nor proper for ICE agents to conduct their federal responsibilities. It is plainly unlawful conduct that local prosecutors could investigate and charge without Supremacy Clause problems getting in the way and no justification.

There is a lot in this interview. Quoting to amplify specifically that at the end they report the ICE agents saying, “Have you not learned? This is why we killed that lesbian bitch.” ICE agents appear now to approve of the killing of Renee Good as an act of terrorism committed by them collectively

Every hour that this is allowed to continue, we remain on the verge of yet another death.

just a reminder that we aren’t even seeing the worst of what is happening in Minneapolis from someone detailed at the Whipple Federal Building yesterday

ICE just indiscriminately stopped a citizen at a bus stop in front of the co-op. If this is how they treat the President of the Minneapolis City Council who is legally observing, just think of what they’re doing to everyone else in our City.
