"In recent protests, the police have been accused of using excessive force. This included the use of rubber bullets, batons, tear gas, pepper spray, and bean bag projectiles. Umbrellas can protect against some of these police tactics by maintaining distance or acting as a shield."

Noem's claim is FALSE. Here is ICE's own data on the detention population among those arrested by ICE:

- 43% no criminal record (up from 6% at the start of the year),
- 29% at least one prior conviction*
- 28% at least one pending charge

*most common are traffic and immigration offenses.

Hilton appears to be closing the whole hotel instead of just kicking out ICE. Cowardly. But they're clearly feeling the pressure.
ICE agents at a hotel in St. Paul woke up this morning to news that they’re getting kicked out of their hotel today at noon.

HOST: thank u for ur time

I was quite confidently assured by no less a personage than Brett Kavanaugh that US citizens would be released from questioning after only a few minutes.

This is important & revealing. Gallego is from AZ. He ran to the right of Dems in 2024 on immigration. The fact he's saying this speaks volumes. He sees where the public is on ICE. Tear it down. Build another non-police-state-freak-show immigration enforcement agency.
Arizona’s @gallego.senate.gov : "I think ICE needs to be totally torn down… People want immigration enforcement that goes after criminals, not the goon squad that has come from Stephen Miller and Trump."

In the last 18 days alone:

- Two men in ICE custody have killed themselves (jails are supposed to protect against this)
- Two men died of cardiac-related issues
- One man was reportedly choked to death by a guard
- One man died of fentanyl withdrawal (family question the medical care provided)
A third immigrant held at Camp East Montana has died, reportedly by suicide. Victor Manuel Díaz was detained in Minnesota. He is the sixth migrant to die since Jan. 1 in ICE detention.

This is exactly right. The white kids and adults I know who know the true history of the United States and Colonialism don't feel bad or guilty; they feel angry, in community with their peers of other races, and empowered to push for change. Enlightened white people are dangerous to the hegemony.
This is my song. “Those are the real stakes — not white children feeling guilty, but white children armed with truth, history and a righteous desire to work with others to change the world.”

maybe this makes me weird but when someone who irritates me goes out into the world and does a good thing, I find that to be a good thing

if everyone i found annoying was standing up to fight this, the enemy would have no chance at all

hard not to notice that as trump's polls crater and gop gets crushed in election after election, news orgs are not racing around hiring progressive commenters and boasting about how they're reaching out to real americans by following the will of the volk.

I love it, she’s all ready to forgive and forget after 2 minutes of sweet talk and kisses, grabbing the poisoned booze away, then he assaults and batters her and treats her as a slave, and she immediately, remorselessly pours him a double shot of death.
You go, girl.

I’ve heard about this and seen clips, but this will be my first viewing. I’ve been told it’s good, so far every foreign film @eddiemuller.bsky.social has shown has been outstanding.
Not a fan of Nazi collaborators, but I’m willing to give it a chance.

This is the most detailed and comprehensive account of the Minneapolis shooting I've seen, and as with past videos, it does more to discredit the government's account than to support it www.nytimes.com/video/us/100...

The images and stories coming out of Minneapolis are extraordinary. We can't say we did not know what was happening. Lots of people are putting their bodies on the line to make sure we do.
