I have no particular desire to listen to this but am still gobsmacked to see my former home of Minneapolis listed among these places (not that any of these places or their people should be subjected to what they’re being subjected to)
U2 just released a EP of songs about Ukraine, Iran, Gaza and Minneapolis and they sound more engaged than they have in years:

I’m actually willing to believe this was a legitimate oversight by the JAG—130 habeas cases is more than a lot of districts get in an entire year—but if this is happening I think you are violating your ethical and professional obligations to the court and your clients and need to say no
JUST IN: Judge Provinzino in Minnesota has held a Justice Department attorney in civil contempt for violations of her order requiring the return of a released ICE detainee’s ID documents. He must pay $500 a day until the documents are returned.

It's always kind of fascinating when someone brings up the least universal thing imaginable like it's something we all know, just casually going "ladies, you know how your disgusting ghoul husband be poisoning your very womb with his epigenetic slime?"
Katie Miller claims Stephen Miller's genes are making her sick:
"Why have I been more nauseous this pregnancy, had more eczema? It's because it's more of my husband's genetic makeup than mine in this baby."

prison abolition guys literally claiming premodern justice systems were superior is always an incredible bit. i would simply replace prison with kindly, humane branding, flogging, lynch mobs, and summary execution.

Absolutely vile crime against society.
Someone doused Renee Good’s Minneapolis memorial and a nearby pile of wood with gasoline and started a fire at about 9 p.m. Tuesday.
Renee Good memorial site in south Minneapolis doused in gasoline
Damage was minimal but police are investigating.

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

This will go over well in Minnesota.
Minority owners of FOUR NBA teams are profiting directly from business deals with the DHS concentration camp industrial complex.
Those teams are Atlanta, Sacramento, Charlotte, and Minnesota.

I don't believe I've ever seen Ted Levine speak so candidly about his regrets of portraying Buffalo Bill in THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS. He and some of the crew on the film were asked about the film's cultural transphobia by The Hollywood Reporter.

I miss seeing the convertibles come out on days like this. I hope they’re all flying anti-ICE flags today.
It’s 43 degrees in Minneapolis, so of course there are lesbian couples in tee-shirts hanging outside the anti-ICE neighborhood coffee shop.

For those wondering how the dual holiday is gonna work in Hamtramck today, generally Paczki Day is a daydrinking celebration, and Ramadan kicks off at night.
So gonna be lots of people in a celebratory mood, but the crowds peak at different times.

I think it’s time for Democratic leaders to start saying “if you’re a pilot or ground crew involved in a deportation that was stayed by a judge, you’ll be held criminally liable for human trafficking.” Everyone involved in these flights should have that fear in the back of their minds.
Overnight, this probable ICE flight landed in Benin and is now returning to Senegal, likely for a crew layover.

On this day in 1921, Congress reluctantly accepted a sculpture memorializing women’s 19th A victory. Congress relegated the memorial to the Capitol’s crypt & painted over the feminist inscription. The statue stayed entombed in the crypt for 76 years. The inscription is still not restored. #WeTheMen
