i'm sorry but what are you talking about

Alex Pretti was literally shot by CBP, on the most direct possible level that point alone would have prevented his death

and requiring warrants for arrests would ABSOLUTELY protect people from abduction, the lack of warrant is what makes it an abduction

This is specific to a certain audience but it’s probably applicable. Social and political change can happen through any number of venues. Voting remains an incredibly powerful, relatively easy one for virtually everyone to participate.

This is truly phenomenal, one of the best pieces like this I've ever read.
Last year, a human trafficking victim trapped in a crypto scam compound in the Golden Triangle region of Laos contacted me. He then proceeded to leak to me a huge collection of the compound's internal materials.

Then he had to get out alive. This is his story.

He Leaked the Secrets of a Southeast Asian Scam Compound. Then He Had to Get Out Alive
A source trapped inside an industrial-scale scamming operation contacted me, determined to expose his captors’ crimes—and then escape. This is his story.

Thank you for this. It's a crucial clarification that makes the scale of this unfolding disaster even more staggering.
Thanks for amplifying—a slight correction: that spike is not just Minneapolis. 2-1-1 is a statewide hotline, as is HOME Line's tenant hotline. That stat was also specific to 2-1-1's Spanish-language line.

Important to be clear of how widespread this is: entire Twin Cities metro and state of MN.

Mutual aid for preventing evictions and homelessness among people impacted by ICE raids is absolutely critical right now.

Just as a reminder, even if DHS isn’t funded for three more years they have over a 100 billion dollars in OBBB money that can be allocated until FY29
Can't keep funding this at all. If the government shuts down and people still see ICE on the streets doing this kind of shit, the midterm ads write themselves. Even for the scared centrists. No money for (insert affordability message) but money for terrorism! Kitchen table issue immediately.
here's a video from this afternoon in Eden Prairie MN of ICE agents camping out as a bus stop.

Again, this is terrorism.

I live an hour north of Minneapolis and they’re here too. They’re rounding up workers in chicken processing plants and breweries.
A reminder that ICE hasn’t slowed down in Minneapolis at all.

Outside of Minnesota, it might feel like everything has changed since Alex Pretti’s murder. But ICE hasn’t actually lost any power and they’re continuing to terrorize our communities.

I'd have to accept & suffer their punishments by land mass if I couldn't move into their vaunted Soviet-style cheap apartment blocks in a state not guilty by association just to escape such.

Hell, I'd maybe be able to organize, what, 2 immigrant families & a horse?

Not to mention that I'm going to be punished by these fuckers because I live in MAGA country if they got their Nuremburg/Reconstruction hybrid.

I'm seen as guilty & complicit for living & not being able to move somewhere where I even HAVE a sympathetic community that'd organize.

A local judge in Virginia has *blocked* the constitutional amendment Democrats have been pushing forth to gerrymander the state.

Whether this is upheld on appeal, or whether it's reversed, will loom very large on House control.

If this stands, it'd be quite a huge blow to Democrats — who are counting on Virginia to counter what is likely coming in Florida with the DeSantis push for a big re-gerrymander.

it's been a consistent trend in this admin for government officials and their media lackeys to randomly publish the personal information of judges who rule against them

for all the fear of "doxxing" they sure seem eager to publicize details about people they don't like

it reveals pretty plainly that "merit-based hiring" means "you belong to the correct class and hold the right set of identities"
Odd how when people like Bari Weiss go on about 'merit-based hiring', what they mean is hiring nice-looking white boys from elite schools regardless of their experience.

There is a direct line from blue state anti-housing policy to population loss to the rise in authoritarian political power. There isn't a single blue state gaining seats and only two purple ones (GA and NC). We're doing this to ourselves. It's time for blue state leaders to understand that
