This is (*checks notes*) after a Federal District Judge ordered them not to use chemical weapons on observers.
ICE is a collection of lawless, cruel, racist thugs. Defund them, and prohibit their non-elected federal employment for the next 20 years.

It's cool that these guys just use pepper spray casually now, against people who are wholly within their rights, without a moment's hesitation. Several shots of them using it as they climb into their cars and drive away, not even a pretense of urgency or need. Just a parting "fuck you" to them.
This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.

They WILL NOT WIN, they CANNOT WIN, because they CANNOT AND WILL NEVER HAVE ENOUGH GUYS
The combined populations of Mpls and St. Paul is about 740,000 (thats not even counting the metro area). If just 0.8% of us show up that’s easily more than double the goons ICE has sent.
They can kidnap us, they can brutalize us, they can threaten us, they can harass us, they can even kill us but THERE ARE SO MANY MORE OF US and WE ARE UNITED AGAINST THEM MAN, WOMAN, AND CHILD and so THEY CANNOT WIN

This is pure, unabashed bigotry.
If a politician said this about any other faith, they would rightfully be run out of their party.
But this kind of despicable anti-Muslim rhetoric is so normalized that a sitting Senator uses it without consequence.
A stain on our Congress.

I think it's worth pointing out that part of why the twin cities has a large Hmong population is because of refugee resettlement after the Vietnam war.

ICE kidnapped an elderly Hmong man in St. Paul, Minnesota. The temperature was sub-zero, and he was taken only wearing shorts and Crocs, and no shirt. (1/18/26)

Still hard to believe that there are videos and witnesses to someone shooting a woman in the face three times. Yet the shooter has not been arrested even though the police know who and where he is.

“First Amendment Zones” are Orwellian nonsense of the same vintage as “homeland security”
BRENNAN: Noem called on your to set up a safe zone where protest would be contained. Is that something you're looking at?
JACOB FREY: First Amendment speech is not limited to one park or one section of the city. You're allowed to protest so long as you're doing it peacefully

I’m reading @karenhao.bsky.social’s Empire of AI and I recommend it to everyone who wants to understand the modern world. ChatGPT has no goddamn place in a sustainable world.
No, these are very serious comments.
ChatGPT has absolutely no goddamn place in graduate education. It steals from other authors, routinely gets major facts wrong, hallucinates sources, and generally makes the prose flat and boring as hell.
And if you shill for it in my mentions, I'll block you.

VARNEY: Troops from Germany, France, Sweden, and Norway are taking part in a military exercise in Greenland. What kind of message are they sending to America?
MARKWAYNE MULLIN: Well, I don't think this is a message to the US. This is a message to China and Russia.
