Today my pastor of several years was detained by ICE at the lawful demonstration where ICE officers murdered Renee Good. Three times they taunted and asked him if he's afraid yet. They let him go because he's white, saying, "Well you're white and it wouldn't be any fun." This is his story:

wait there's a hockey team called Utah Mammoth

My opposition to the death penalty is hereby suspended until further notice

I'm going to need to watch at least five hours of Heated Rivalry reels to re-regulate me

WITNESS: "I just can't let this narrative of self-defense go any further. That’s absolutely not what it was… ICE agents didn’t let anyone help her for 15 minutes, then medics couldn’t get through with their ambulance.”

wow the government should trademark "mass shooting at a funeral"

There is a grave moral consequence to letting this go on. Shut down the government, have a general strike, grind the country to a halt, hit the streets. But not treating a demented administration lying about its thugs committing cold-blooded murder as an emergency? That is an emergency in itself.

if I could only destroy two of them I'm not even sure who the other one would be

There is a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can’t take part; you can’t even passively take part, and you’ve got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you’ve got to make it stop

ew no someone protect Hudson

Great question for @governorwalz.mn.gov

politicians shouldn't swear it sets a bad example for the kids orphaned by ice agents

Cops just like to murder people, even cosplay high school dropout faux cops like ICE. People join these professions dreaming of the day they get to murder people.

Schumer saying the DHS budget should be cut. I agree as long as the number it's cut to is one fucking penny.

There is absolutely no reason for Dems to vote for GOP nominees, to facilitate the smooth operation of Congress, nor to withhold impeachment of the President and his appointees. Do it all.

Like those before it, that insane, vile DHS statement about the Minneapolis shooting isn't about covering anything up. It's performative lying. They aren't trying to persuade anyone that their agents did nothing wrong. They're trying to project that their agents can get away with anything.

"Nice life, if you can keep it"

Q: After you told ICE to get the F out, Republicans are criticizing you for escalating tensions FREY: I'm sorry if I offered their Disney princess ears, but if we're talking about what's inflammatory, on one hand you got someone who dropped an F bomb & on other you have someone who killed someone

Right. The point is not “it matters extra because it’s a citizen,” the point is “we either hang together or we will all hang separately.”

They have no argument other than imperialist plunder, taking things because want them like an infant

Every damn Democratic congressperson should be physically standing together on the steps of the Capitol and demanding an end to this deadly abuse. Are they really unable to fight back against this despicable propaganda used to justify the killing by ICE and supported by Noem and Trump?

whatever fate you think he deserves, he deserves far worse; it makes me hope there is a hell

this fucking rancid shitbag

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

We are morally obligated as citizens of this wretched country to offer at least some small if hollow recompense to families of those murdered in cold blood by ICE thugs. If a Go Fund me can raise $300k from the for someone who gets fired for using a racial slur, this should raise a billion dollars.

This is a vetted fundraiser for the family of Renee Good, the woman who was killed by ICE in Minneapolis. www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo...

I think there's a point where you are so angry that you run out of mental space for fear, and I think a lot of Minneapolis and St. Paul were there, today.

for fucking decades i've had to listen to right wingers jerk off to their fantasies of masked federal agents turning their guns on innocent Americans and then the moment it actually happens they're sniveling boot-licking scum

I’m not going to lie. I’ve been writing about the War on Terror in its depravity my whole adult life. And the brazen execution of Renee Nicole Good has left me in a state since the moment I watched it.

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

There are people who still don't understand that you can do everything right--you can do everything they tell you--and you will still be shot in the face.

Chuck Schumer looks down at his letter, pensively gnaws on the earpiece of his glasses, and adds a “very” in front of “concerned.” “Well, that’s handled,” he says to no one in particular.

Or if you’re just a decent person with no political aspirations? Still do it.

Last time Walz called in the guard, he didn’t call them in to control or contain enforcement officers but rather to steamroll organic protest so I’m not sure why people would think he would change now?

You don’t freak out when you’re doing something you enjoy and that you signed up to do.

I don’t think I’ve ever been ask angry and exhausted at the same time as I feel right now. Just like… vibrating with rage.

They're not just doing tyranny, they're doing the *exact* things listed in the Declaration of Independence that the colonists accused the king of. It's surreal

At some point this reasoning doesn’t really apply anymore. They are going to create a show regardless. It’s time to take to the streets.

fascist pigs making life hell for everyone. I’m not sure I can physically get angrier. bsky.app/profile/elvi...

Once again Democrats will do nothing about this but send fundraising emails.

Among other things, what's so terrible about Noem's language labeling an innocent civilian a domestic terrorist is it creates an explicit permission structure and encourages individual agents to be more violent. Combined with ICE's lowered recruiting standards, it will absolutely make things worse.

If Renee Good is a "a domestic terrorist" according to Kristi Noem it means the label is meaningless and will be used by the Trump Administration to murder anyone it wants. From Venezuelan fishermen to anti Trump protestors in the No Kings Rally. Eyes wide open, friends.

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.

Mayor Jacob Frey: "They are already trying to spin this as an action of self defense. Having seen the video myself, I want to tell everybody directly that is bullshit."

Have them all stand against this wall for a minute

Renee died trying to help her fellow citizen, so it's obvious she was a good and kind person. ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA!

At some point they are going to overplay their hand. If only it wasn't with the blood of a mother of three. ICE has of course been committing real and stochastic violence against brown people for years, but let us use whatever leverage and outrage there is here to help stop that.

There should be 260 Democrats in Congress all saying the same thing.

man it's so awesome that state force can apparently only ever be deployed against people protesting cruelty and never against the ones causing the cruelty
