The images and stories coming out of Minneapolis are extraordinary. We can't say we did not know what was happening. Lots of people are putting their bodies on the line to make sure we do.

Get to know your neighbors.
This is Minneapolis:
My neighbors moved out of the country this fall. They asked to be added back into our block group chat because they want to keep tabs on how we're all doing and see how they can help.
My absolute biggest personal lesson of the last 5 years: Get to know your neighbors.

We hear about it when a company like Avelo changes course in the face of public pressure. What we'll never know is how many other companies will refuse to work for ICE because they saw what happened to Avelo.

It's time to stop letting them get away with describing ICE's operations as "law enforcement." It's not anything akin to that any longer, if it ever has been.
Yes. ICE service is being sold to disaffected MAGA goons as an opportunity to wage a campaign of cleansing, restorative violence against Americans as an act of patriotic national service. And most normies now see that this isn't anything akin to real law enforcement.
