Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara said on Tuesday that city police officers are obligated to step in if they witness ICE agents using excessive force or violating anyone’s rights as President Trump’s new immigration crackdown focused on Somali immigrants in Minnesota.

This guy understands the moment.

“If ICE agents use unlawful force in this city, my officers must intervene. And if they don’t, they could lose their jobs.”

The Chief of Police in Minneapolis says their department won't help ICE and is telling residents to report ICE abductions to the police as kidnappings.

If you're from Minneapolis, you should be proud to have that kind of leadership.

To hell with the domestic terrorists known as ICE. 🖕🧊

After MTG lied about me for weeks, she said that she felt bad for my unborn child because he'd have me as a mother. Her rhetoric led to threats against my family.

No one, even her, should receive threats like those, but I'd like to see her own up to the role she played in creating them for others.
Marjorie Taylor Greene: "I sent those deaths threats directly to him in a text message & informed him of what his name calling & words were doing - it was a direct assassination threat on my son. And he was extremely - I won't repeat what he said - but it was extremely unkind. No sympathy. No care"

It is absolutely wild that the guy who won’t stop yelling about law and order is now personally stepping in to keep January 6 documents hidden from the police officers who were attacked that day. He knows exactly what’s in those files and he is terrified the country will see it.

The ice tactic in #Minneapolis: just a few goons & one car- disappearing folks. Ice is keeping it under the radar, quiet, low key so the neighbors and protesters don’t come out to help…& no media

Money. All bought. #Schumer gives a speech at my university every year at graduation. Word for word it is the exact same speech. Lazy. Does not care.
It sometimes feels like the Democratic party is complicit in its own demise. It's just sheer luck that the MAGA movement is developing cracks because not even they want to protect another pedophile.
There's still loyalty among them but it is waning.

A little thread: Science is defiantly anti-fascist because it pursues truth, is necessarily collaborative, and relies on open communication. And because its falsifiability is incompatible with the cultism, faith-based belief systems, disinformation, and propaganda of Christian nationalism.

What Gates is putting forward aren’t legitimate arguments that can be made in good faith. They are shopworn fossil fuel industry talking points.

Puzzled by shock at Trump/Mamdani presser. Long history of autocrats opportunistically--& temporarily--embracing enemies. I think Mamdani's right to use the moment. Suspect he gets it's just that. & also knows Trump sees he gets a little "winner" shine & can later say "I gave him a chance."
