Another reason Democrats must stop, defund, and ultimately abolish ICE: voter suppression. ICE has forced a significant number of people of color to hide inside their homes. What if ICE patrols just outside key polling places during the midterms?

I know people are on this already, just want to amplify that none of these MN corporations are willing to even *mention* ICE and some have been extremely cooperative with them.
Target is a huge offender there. I think redoubling on #BoycottTarget + telling them why helps.

CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today.
This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting

About 20 or so hours too late, by @nytimes.com has finally taken our “appears to” out of this headline. For finding their spine, even if late, they should be commended because the bar is so so low.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

It's the lies that get me. Like, they know we all can watch the video. If the response from the government was, "It was a mistake in a chaotic situation" I'd still be livid but at least think we're living in a shared reality.
To present the guy as a "domestic terrorist?" Truth doesn't even matter.

These “experienced professionals” (like six of them) couldn’t disarm the dude? Oh wait, they did, and they STILL executed him.
The Strib has identified him. Alex Pretti. Another 37-year-old executed for standing up for our immigrant neighbors. For shame.

2. History professors are qualified nominators.
3. The people of Minnesota have been awe-inspiringly peaceful in the face of state violence.

Dunno if confirmed but would surprise me exactly zero. It was so obviously performative and grifting at the very least.

I know I keep posting about this but every time I check, the list gets longer and longer and longer. Hundreds and hundreds of places, everything from huge local institutions to small spots that will definitely struggle.
No exaggeration, it's the most astonishing act of solidarity I've ever seen.

Border Patrol agents are very sad that everyone in Minnesota hates them.
“At each gas station where the agents stopped to use the restroom, groups of agitators appeared, yelled at them, stalked them, and even tried to prevent law enforcement vehicles from leaving…”
