here's a rent fun in mpls you can donate to right now, from organizers i know and can personally vouch for! emergency rent support for North MPLS: venmo.com/u/NorthMplsMA

Just a reminder, the greatest living American historian filmmaker, Ken Burns, released a 720 min exploration of every facet of the American revolution using zero generative AI and paying for all of its assets instead of cobbling it from stolen data, then he gave it away for free on PBS this year.

@keithellison.bsky.social, do you still think that “ICE has a right to exist in Minnesota”? open.spotify.com/episode/5PrW...

Why is Dem leadership not on the ground in MN? If the answer is “polls show Trump’s disapproval is only -15 on deportations, but -25 on prices,” thats a Bad Use Of Polling and a complete failure in their capacity as leaders to lead public opinion and fight for democracy and the rule of law

New video shows the man who was killed moments before the shooting. He was peacefully standing in the street observing before ICE agents started pushing him for no reason.

Nuremberg trials for ICE is the moderate position

We deal with this a lot in our civil rights work against the vast system of pretrial detention. Decades of mass incarceration has left our culture desensitized. We have stopped realizing a core pillar of a reasonable society: the state must have very good reasons for putting a human in a cage.

Hakeem Jeffries deserves to be unemployed.

if you don’t think you can campaign on abolishing this agency and prosecuting the people involved - if you don’t think you’re able to make that case using this video and other like it - get the fuck out of politics

ICE abducted a 5 year old boy and put him in a Texas detention center. A 5 year old. Liam Ramos. His family was following all legal asylum parameters and were not under deportation orders.

Minnesota: "School officials say the [5-year-old] child was used as bait. They say [ICE] agents made little Liam knock on the door to ask to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home."

state-sponsored child trafficking

Every Stephen Miller tantrum and DHS recruitment ad speaks in these existential terms about "defending your culture" to elide the fact that they need people with the courage to wear a mask while interrogating a sixth grader

ICE are abducting 5 year olds, using them as bait to get to their family, and shipping them to a Texas concentration camp all in a single day. We need a Nuremberg for everyone involved. Abolish ICE isn't enough.

I’m going to keep hammering this point: the excesses of ICE we see now are entirely contiguous with our system of policing more broadly, and the reason that almost no politician wants to threaten real consequences for ICE agents is because it opens the door to making the same demands of the cops

A must read

Another data point indicating that Polymarket is not a “prediction market” but a public persuasion operation—here it spreads disinformation about Minnesota and DHS signals boosts the disinformation:

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

Fucking tragic!! And yes, we can place blame at BOTH the horrific abortion policies in NC and the doctors who refused to care for her. Both are responsible.

one of the weirdest things about the current moment is how the national media have to pretend like they don't know what this is about. official government social media accounts are posting about racially cleansing America and they have to pretend like it's not clear who the bad guy is.

When you look at the cross-tabs, you get a very clear picture of what “popularism” means in practice. White people, mostly white men, making over 100K, get to define what’s popular and what isn’t in this political model.

On my way to the Supreme Court where I'll be proud to support 15-year-old Becky Pepper-Jackson, West Virginia's only transgender athlete, as she opposes the state's effort to ban her from playing as herself. Win or lose, Becky and her family are heroes for standing up for what's right

the thing about “ICE needs training” is that Jonathan Ross was a ten year DHS vet and a firearms instructor he’s the kind of guy they get training from the whole institution is rotten, throw it out

“probabilities on polymarket” polymarket and online gamblification of every aspect of our lives is the worst new development of the world in 2025

The total capture of the DOJ, seemingly with very little pushback or resistance, is one of the most striking examples of the capitulation of American elites in the face of authoritarianism. It’s been less than a year, and federal prosecutions or investigations are already completely discredited.

This is the sort of statement that was expected from every university president and law firm partner over the last year. That those statements weren’t made played a huge part in where we are now and people will remember.

"It wasn't murder, and if you say it was murder we will kill you, which again will not be murder."

ppl like to talk abt the Olympics and pro sports but in reality laws banning trans girls from playing women’s sports mostly impact children. Look at this girl. She’s a fucking baby and her state spent days, weeks, months crafting legislation specifically to bully her

Great words, but the Philly PD does not support this. They released a statement clarifying that the sheriff is not law enforcement and PPD is a separate entity. Essentially saying they will not go along with ICE arrests. ICE is their brother in arms. As always, Defund the Police. Abolish ICE.

I am not a lawyer but @keithellison.bsky.social is it customary for the subject of an investigation to have his coworkers remove items from his house during an active investigation?

rare to see an american politician speak in these terms and it rocks

interesting! here's a video i took yesterday of federal agents ramming community members with their car

sharing a video of a woman calmly saying “that’s fine, I’m not mad at you” to a man who would fatally shoot her in the head twenty seconds later to prove she was a radicalized domestic terrorist.

New polling from Civiqs finds support for abolishing ICE has reached a new high. Other polls have shown a decrease in the agency's approval rating, and broad anxiety about agents' use of force to accomplish Trump's agenda www.gelliottmorris.com/p/support-fo...

Walz should be using state and local police to arrest *every* ICE agent in MN. And have the regiment go in and shut down the ICE facilities.

Important context to "more/better training" arguments: the murder of Renée Good was a product of that training by someone who has trained others. (I've seen same in civil rights cases; by moving where he did, he was intentionally generating a pretext to shoot her without genuine risk to himself.)

This is a high school with children. These bastards all need to be prosecuted.

the toyota prius is older than ICE

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.

"There’s no moral arc of the universe that bends towards greater freedom, but nor is there some natural nativism that rules it out," writes @polphilpod.bsky.social. A compelling call for liberals to lean into being pro-immigration. A must-read. www.liberalcurrents.com/we-need-to-g...

We tried that in 2020 and well, here we are. An instant disqualifier in an ocean of instant disqualifiers for this man.

The Trump administration just conducted an illegal attack on Venezuela and has spoken about attacking Colombia, Mexico, Cuba, and Denmark. These Democrats just voted to confirm Trump's nominee for Assistant Secretary of Defense: Fetterman Gallego Kaine King Reed Rosen Shaheen

A mystery trader made $400,000 on bets that Nicolás Maduro would soon be out as Venezuela’s leader apple.news/AgJ76d0bCR9-...

The whole world is now being instructed that Donald Trump can just say shit like “we’re going to run Venezuela” and sometimes it means nothing at all.

They kidnapped the head of a Latin American country, replaced him with an insecure white racist who has spent his entire life arguing that Latinos are subhuman, and made clear that their primary aim is to plunder the country for its resources. If it isn't yet clear, yes, we're the fucking baddies.
