I sent a version of these stories (before this was published today) to a non-Minnesota work network, w donation links, & asked people to share what’s happening
Just got an email from someone who sent it to her mom, who sent it to her church, where it‘s inspiring resistance plans

Heads up.
According to some people on reddit. There are extremists in Maine trying to set up a pro ICE militia up in Maine. They have screenshots of them trying to organize online. Though I haven't look into it yet.

The DOJ is no longer legitimate on any level. It’s just a goon squad. This has enormous implications for the country long after Trump is gone.
Breaking: MS NOW confirms:
The Trump Justice Department has launched criminal investigations into Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey.

Fondly recalling the days when I crossed verbal swords with Scott Adams over his gullibility WRT health remedies, especially hydroxychloroquine. Now we know how that all turned out.

A few months ago, ICE hired me
I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable
And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"

You’ve Heard About Who ICE Is Recruiting. The Truth Is Far Worse. I’m the Proof.
What happens when you do minimal screening before hiring agents, arming them, and sending them into the streets? We're all finding out.

The elephant in the room is that mayors and governors across the country have very good reason to question the loyalty and allegiances of the state and local police forces and that’s one of the impediments to doing anything about the current occupations

At some point, Americans are going to face a reckoning over what happened five years ago today. The people responsible must be held to account if the rule of law is going to mean anything. I documented the culpability.

It is kind of wild that no big media outlet has busted open the story of who is making DHS' posts on X. Whoever that may be is certainly plugged into hardcore white supremacist internet propaganda with a harder edge. "Groyper" would be underselling it. This is Daily Stormer-tier sludge.

really cannot be emphasized enough that bari weiss has literally never done journalism. i don’t mean that in the pejorative sense. i mean that in the “has never performed the job she was hired to do” sense
One explanation for Bari killing the story is that she did so as a public act of fealty to the administration. But another is that, as an inexperienced journalist, she doesn’t understand that a refusal to go on the record is a kind of comment in and of itself
