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.
Really depraved shit.

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.

Thinking about how Mamdani ran on local kitchen table economic issues and didn’t seem insane because that actually *was* what people were concerned about.
When Jeffries and Schumer talk about egg prices during a *nationalized* conversation about moms getting shot in the face — they sound insane.

A plea to Council Member @shaunabreu.bsky.social: please get off X/Twitter and post to Bluesky instead. At a minimum, and maybe as an interim step, please cross post to Bluesky so advocates who left X/Twitter for moral reasons can still engage with you.

This is a blatant attack on press freedom — yet Jeff Bezos has so far been silent.

So what are you and fellow Dems going to do about it?
Yet again, the Trump admin is making its priorities clear: Polluters over people.
Republicans would rather give kickbacks to corporations than to protect the millions of Americans at risk for asthma, heart disease, and premature death from exposure to airborne chemicals.

telling the secret police they have immunity to harm & kill citizens really lays bare the hollowness of decades of right-wing GOP screeching about encroaching Big Government - it was never a problem they had with government per se, just that it wasn't being used to harm the people they wanted to

This is Minneapolis:
Walk into my neighborhood ACE last night & see the signage on their door notifying fed agents that it’s private property and cannot be used for immigration enforcement. These signs are all over the city.
Walk in & the nearest shelf has goggles & whistles.

Scary to me that 48% of voters either think it was justified or can’t give up the brainpower to reach their own conclusions
** A majority (52%) of voters, including a majority (58%) of independents, do NOT believe ICE was justified in shooting Rene Good.
** A majority of voters (51%) BACK charges against the ICE agent who shot her.

The new poll conducted for Zeteo also shows a majority of Americans reject Trump’s attempts to smear Good as a ‘domestic terrorist.’

Hakeem Jeffries is afraid of a bad poll, meanwhile the observers and neighbors here on the ground in Minneapolis are afraid of being beaten senseless, dragged into a car, and raced out of their neighborhood. They’re not yielding but he is. Consider new leaders, Democrats

The past couple days have made it clear that arresting and prosecuting Johnathan Ross isn’t just the right thing to do, it is necessary to prevent future violence by ICE who have interpreted the situation as “we can do that to whoever we want”
A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."
The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

The decision has been made to break an American city. It is an experiment. We must do all we can (legally) to help Minneapolis hold on.
if you want to know what it is like in minneapolis, I don’t even have to scroll on facebook to find a horror story. it’s basically my whole feed.
everyone i know in minneapolis is seeing ICE take people—at gas stations, taquerias, bus stops, schools. just snatching random people.

Come the fuck on. Five hours later and the headline is still about a disputed shooting. Just a basic lack of courage to acknowledge the obvious.
If the headline is "disputed shooting" rather than straightforwardly telling the public what happened this rewards the DHS for lying about these events
