Laughter, snark and sarcasm. PacNW. Car guy. Infosec dork. Usually in that order.

I don't always follow back so don't feel compelled to follow.

I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio.

Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3.

Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.

Violating 96 court orders is why Democrats are insane for thinking that they can get ice to hold to any kind of “reforms.”

Much of what they’re doing is already against DHS policy. @durbin.senate.gov @duckworth.senate.gov @laurenunderwood.bsky.social
"ICE is not a law unto itself," Judge Schiltz says, scolding it for violating 96 court orders. "ICE has every right to challenge the orders of this Court, but, like any litigant, ICE must follow those orders unless and until they are overturned or vacated." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I just checked the bought seats at one of Orange County’s nicest movie theaters for Friday’s showing of Melania, and it’s not good. They already have it in their smallest theater and about 10-15 seats are sold for each viewing. ORANGE COUNTY

Beyond cool!
Incredibly niche thing I feel obligated to share:

During the anti-ICE, clergy-led protest in Minneapolis where the photo below was taken last week, one of the pastors grabbed the bullhorn and declared:

"This is the country that gave the world Star Wars. And we clergy are the non-violent Jedi."

Seconded.

Obama making fun of him is what started this entire fucked-up timeline.

Stuff like this raises awareness to people that don't normally vote. Taken singularly it's not much, but cumulatively ...it's all worth the effort.

Two statements that are compatible.

a. I don't think concealed carry is a good policy.

b. I do not believe that someone carrying a gun in compliance with a state's gun laws gives federal law enforcement the right to murder them.

It's nit hard - choose any path a previous president took. Pick one.
“.. Some in the administration worry that public polling and sentiment has turned against the administration’s immigration actions in cities, and some discussions have centered on how to continue deportations without clashing with protesters, officials said.”

Anyone with suggestions re: where to go in Minneapolis and beyond, please hit me up in the comments or via DM or at laura.jedeed@gmail.com. I know that I know nothing and am here to learn; outside the box suggestions are extremely welcome
Fuck you Winter Storm Fern, very rough all-night drive but I survived both Indiana and the wasteland of Chicago (WHY DO THEY NOT PLOW THEIR FREEWAYS) and made it to Minneapolis unscathed. Took 28 hours but hey: results

I will now sleep for the next several years at least

A comment in this thread nails it: "Let this be the pivot to every question"

I view this as akin to juicing turnout. There are more non-voters than voters you can flip.

Awareness by people outside politics is the right play.

In this case MAGA is the side doing it.....but not to their benefit.
man the stuff i am seeing on IG from
the most normie, i don’t really talk about politics accounts suggests something different

Imagine being unable to comprehend the median American having empathy for complete strangers.
James O'Keefe says he's never seen anything so organized as the anti-ICE movement, observers--he seems to think this term is code--everywhere he goes. Who is paying for it??? he demands to know. It's like he can't even imagine people caring for one another.

Hundreds of people have marched to the South Portland ICE facility.

The protest was organized hours after a man was shot and killed by federal agents in Minnesota while observing and filming them.
