CBP just shot a woman "in the face" as she attempted to drive away in Minneapolis. Unconfirmed reports are that she's dead.
State officials need to direct their forces to physically oppose ICE. “Oh no that would be civil war”— it’s already civil war!! Are you going to fight it like democracy and pluralism and fundamental rights matter to you or are you just going to roll over and let all of that be destroyed!?

It’s ironic that they’re like “if we do ethnic cleansing we’ll have a high trust neighborly society” and then Minneapolis is literally doing high trust neighborly society and they’re like nooooo
Many Americans are terrible neighbors to each other, and that is why MN is striking everyone as extraordinary activism... when they are telling us that it is not. They're good neighbors!
It's no wonder that "being a shitty neighbor" is the hallmark of our domestic politics and our foreign policy.

A quick note to all the media covering Minneapolis right now, the Reich called my grandfather and great uncle "protesters" when all they were doing was stopping SS from disappearing their neighbors. So maybe don't be like the Nazi Press unless you are the Nazi Press.
Killed my grandfather and my great uncle for speaking out against the Reich. Took over my grandmother's house with my mom living there as a child. And they were not Jewish. Nazis are not an abstract concept.
There's a lot of abstract talk about nazis right now and I just want to bring it back to concrete reality for a second:
Those motherfuckers tried to murder MY GRANDPARENTS.

Prosecution of every last regime official must be a cornerstone of the reconstruction. If their crimes are not adjudicated to warrant execution or life imprisonment, they must never be allowed to hold a position of trust in society ever again
I think it's safe to say anyone affiliated with the department of justice in any way from the year 2025 should be disbarred. Openly corrupt agency

THREAD. Having just written a book about this and talked to a LOT of Democrats, I can assure you that neither Cory Booker nor the policing industry he’s advertising think that more money for ICE “training” and tech would address any problem that any person of good will has with what ICE is doing.

I feel like this pretty much sums up the rot at the core of American civic life as a whole.
“Hold the fuck up, cowboy. I signed up for the great power, not the great responsibility when I signed up for the church/media/government/think tank complex/etc.”

can u imagine being not only a baptized christian but an ordained priest and then, when NPR asks you about the Bishop of New Hampshire's comments last week, what you find to say is "I didn't sign up to be a martyr"??

2026 is seeing that the U.S. Army is mobilizing a unit specialized for winter conditions, but not knowing if the intended mission is violent repression of an American city or stealing territory from a U.S. treaty ally.

Three years today. The cops are already killing protesters—it's not a line we haven't crossed, it's a thing already happening—but lots of people never heard about or paid attention to this one. So it goes

Little Turtle’s War — THE BITTER SOUTHERNER
The shooting death of a protestor at the hands of police feels like both an inevitable outcome of this long battle over Atlanta’s South River Forest and a completely preventable tragedy.

This is the kind of shit that would make you completely outside the bounds of any ancient society, the gods bestow generational curses for violating hospitality
A few days ago, Fox News was whining about ICE agents getting heckled at a Mexican restaurant in Minneapolis.
Meanwhile, in the town of Willmar, ICE agents had lunch at a Mexican restaurant, waited until it closed, then confronted and arrested three workers as they left.

The more I think about this, the angrier I get. It takes a particularly virulent strain of sociopathy to sit and let hard-working people serve you a meal knowing that you plan to arrest them and send them off for deportation once they're off of work.

The same people who in 2020 were clearest about the true nature and purpose of local police—mostly organizers and activists, not pundits—are still the clearest today. The same points apply equally to ICE. Let’s hope more people are getting the message now. Thank you, Robin Kelley, for your clarity.

ICE seems to get completely flummoxed when they’re being yelled at by white men over 35. They kind of put their heads down and shuffle their feet. It’s like their kryptonite.
