it's kind of wild that we are apparently able to have video calls with people in concentration camps who are saying what's going on there and everyone knows and it's incredibly public and no one in a position of power/visibility in the government is really doing anything about it at scale

a big problem with ICE generally and CBP specifically is that they have demonstrated, repeatedly, that they do not consider themselves accountable to anyone, and it’s gonna be a real fucking problem for the next admin, but it’ll be a problem for this one, too

I think one thing people outside Minnesota don't understand is that after Good and Pretti were killed by feds while observing, the most normal people you could imagine have made peace with the fact that they could be next, and they are still out there because they say it's the right thing to do.
“If I am killed doing this, throw my body at the White House, martyr the shit out of me & raise hell. Do not be sad. Do not think I would do anything differently. I would do it over & over again — this is too important to sit down & shut up and not do anything.” www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...
