A major victory. A federal judge has ruled that ICE must stop targeting peaceful protesters and legal observers who are not suspected of any crimes.

Skum anagram to Tesla customers: "You will own nothing and be happy."
Failing to increase new car sales, Tesla moves to fleece existing customers by charging them a monthly fee for the car's driving software. Of course.

1. ICE officers are not currently being deterred from murdering on video.
2. DoJ use of force guideline currently require de-escalation, and Renee Good's murderer was a freaking federal firearms instructor who supposedly taught that to others.
NO. Defund ICE.
Not a penny for masked Nazi killers.

Using flash bang grenades and chemical munitions which probably included CS tear gas, ICE attacked a family with small children who were driving home from a basketball game. The 6-month old stopped breathing and had to be revived with CPR.
Stop deploying these murderous "officers" to our cities.

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

"The agents presumably had a good laugh about this. Perhaps they relished their meal even more because the staff was frightened. Humiliation of victims, a kind of relish in their fear and misery, a kind of sadism has become a dominant part of the culture of ICE."

This is some inside baseball talk about a free agent signing and the collective bargaining agreement expiring, but given that our civil liberties expired under this administration in 2025-26, we don't deserve the distraction of a 2027 baseball season. Pull the plug.
There almost certainly won't be a baseball season in 2027.

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports.
And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.”
Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

Moral of the story: If ICE agents come to your restaurant, don't serve them good Mexican food.
(Actually, no ICE agent should be permitted to enjoy a meal in any restaurant anywhere in America where there are decent people.)

Ah yes: If peaceful protestors protest your regime's brutal murders and lawless ethnic cleansing, that justifies invoking the all-caps INSURRECTION ACT.
