I’m not sure people outside the Twin Cites realize the prevalence and the fear ICE is causing in Twin Cities. They are dining undercover pretending to be couples at restaurants, they are going to businesses and checking the license plates of cars to find employees. Every public place is compromised.

The thing about Newsom that bugs me is the man knows he needs to get through a dem primary first, right?

Norwegian PM Støre says Trump repeatedly raises—complains about, pleads for, and demands—the Nobel Peace Prize every time they meet. Støre gives same answer each time: decision is made independently by Norwegian Nobel Committee, with no role for Norwegian gov—a concept Trump appears unable to grasp.

It feels like Minnesotans are directly bringing into doubt the validity of Robert Putnam's thesis of declining social ties and cooperation among citizens.
“I think more than 350 of those cameras have gone out and are already deployed in the community now,” he said...

Pew Research Institute (2023):

• Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants
• Blue State Minnesota has 130,000.
And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration."

St. Paul needs more local observers!
Im in St. Paul and my signal group has been totally quiet. It is hard to gauge what is going on in St. Paul when it isn't covered on the news and there has been no request for Constitutional Observers.

Gallego ("moderate" Dem) is going with "ICE needs to be totally torn down" (not "reform and retrain"). This is a pivot point for the country on immigration. You have been seeing this in the data for a while, and now officials are snapping to the public opinion www.gelliottmorris.com/p/ice-is-a-7...

Did anyone do a double take
Mike Flynn, the new commissioner of the Transportation Department in New York City, will be expected to help fulfill Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s promise to make the nation’s slowest buses fast and free. His appointment represents a shift from recent picks for the job.
Mamdani Said He’d Make Buses Faster and Free. Now It’s This Guy’s Job.
Mike Flynn, a former intern who rose to the top of the agency, will be under a microscope, but far from the spotlight.

A good time to remind everyone of the Minnesota First. One of the earliest state militias to volunteer to fight in the Civil War—three years after joining the Union! Provided one of the essential turning points at Gettysburg. Took the flag of the Virginia regiment they captured AND STILL HAVE IT.

THREAD. Having just written a book about this and talked to a LOT of Democrats, I can assure you that neither Cory Booker nor the policing industry he’s advertising think that more money for ICE “training” and tech would address any problem that any person of good will has with what ICE is doing.

The thing that baffles me is Newsom does know he has to get through a dem primary first, right?
I put myself through the entire interview. Trust me when I tell you that Gavin "dank memes" Newsom agrees with him on EVERYTHING. I literally says "I agree with you" on EVERYTHING. Ben "extremely unpopular even with MAGA" Shapiro gets very combative with him and Gavin capitulates EVERY time.
Ben Shapiro: "Israel did not commit a genocide in Gaza"
Gavin Newsom: "I agree with you."
Gavin Newsom: "I agree with you."

ICE and MAGA really did bet the farm on all of Minneapolis’s white people going “oh yes, please take away our disgusting, evil non-white-foreigner neighbors, oh thank you so much.”
it’s beautiful that they’ve been proven incredibly wrong about that - may the rest of the country do the same.

Around HALF of Greenland’s adult population is believed to have attended anti-Trump protests today.
This photo was taken by Sean Gallup for Getty Images. It captures the thousands who gathered in the capital Nuuk, to reject Trump’s threats to take the island.

It’s interesting to think about how the Brazilian flag serves this purpose in Brasil while the U.S. flag almost weakens support for a movement
The American flag is one of the most potent symbols in politics and if you can claim it for your side you have a huge advantage.
From an optics perspective... the protesters being the ones waving the US flag while Bovino et al looks like every awful nazi inspired movie we've ever seen... hats off to Minnesotans.

The division is fight or fold
These coming years will be the greatest challenge of our lifetime - can Trump consolidate power fast enough, or will pro-democracy forces prevail? In this fight, distinctions between "moderate" and "progressive' are outdated, and we should stop using them. They are meaningless.
