I know we’re so far past even considering the possibility that Republicans ever actually believed in the Constitution, but it’s a useful thought experiment to read this article as if it was about Biden using technology developed by a billionaire donor to surveil anti-abortion and 2A activists.
A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

Just a reminder, the greatest living American historian filmmaker, Ken Burns, released a 720 min exploration of every facet of the American revolution using zero generative AI and paying for all of its assets instead of cobbling it from stolen data, then he gave it away for free on PBS this year.

Maybe I don't know anything about law enforcement, but if someone damages a light on a LEO vehicle, are officers allowed to just beat them in retribution and not make an arrest?

Asking as a resident of "the land of the free"
Just realized I have a longer version of this video. At the start, you can clearly see the feds piling out of the cars to attack Pretti and then spray pepper balls, antagonizing the crowd.

This should be the bare minimum of transparency for every LEO:

Visible name, face, badge number, no "operator" cosplay. I'd add hi-viz vests for most scenarios as well.

When ICE eventually leaves Minnesota in shame the state should throw a Superbowl-level citywide parade where everyone attending also gets to take one step on the 28th Virginia battle flag won as spoils in the Civil War

The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember:

- Organized a city wide general strike
- Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence
- Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE
- Flipped public opinion against ICE

Emailing your local professor is an actual life hack that usually gets IMMEDIATE response. They live for this.

I got a response on fixed action patterns of animals, including a PDF excerpt he created for me to review. Took like 10 minutes for him to reply.

"Where's the local PD!?!??” begs the secret police agent in town to escalate violence; forgetting SCOTUS told us back in '81 they have no duty to protect anyone & can just chill while you die.

A delicious case of shoe being on the other foot.
Minneapolis, MN -

Very developing situation here. FPS agents ran into the hotel. Tear gas deployed. Hotel patrons forced to put their hands up. One agent’s nose bloodied.

The fact that every right winger with influence screams "who is paying for all of this" tells you exactly how awash in cash they all are, and how much they rely on that to keep their movement afloat.
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.

It's pretty simple: in a lawful society we'd get quick access to the bodycam footage every agent was mandatorily running; and be able to make informed assessments of what happened and press charges as needed.

But we have an easily spooked secret police force operating with the goal of retribution

Florida has 10x the 'illegal' immigrant population of MN, and has the highest % in relation to population. TX has almost 18x as many. NV has a much higher %.

They reason they are terrorizing Minneapolis and not Miami or Dallas or Las Vegas is purely political.
