Life in Minnesota is getting invited to the house of a lady who you met in a neighborhood signal chat because she said she needed a dozen whistles and then talking for an hour in her kitchen about how to develop an anti-ICE patrol for her kid’s fucking preschool.

This is completely fucking unacceptable. Shut this terrorist government down until it stops brutalizing its own citizens.
Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

Nice little independent central bank you got right there. Would be a shame if something happened to it.
Sen. Kevin Cramer: "Maybe the point should be if you're the attorney for Jay Powell and you want to avoid an indictment, how about you go to Jeanine Pirro and say, 'I'll make a deal. I'll step down today if you drop the investigation today.' To me, that would be a win win for everybody."

Once upon a time people got prosecuted for misuse of flags, uniforms or markings when committing hostile acts. Now it’s open season it seems for Russia and the USA to do whatever the hell they like.
The Trump administration’s first deadly strike on an alleged drug smuggling boat, in early September, was conducted by a secretive military aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane, multiple officials confirmed to The Post.
U.S. plane used in boat strike was made to look like civilian aircraft
Use of the plane prompted legal debate after the operation over whether concealment of its military status amounted to a ruse that violated international law, officials said.

#TweetClubNoir news for this coming Saturday, BBC4 is repeating Irish crime drama ‘Blackshore’.
I seem to remember it was pretty good, even if it’s a typical premise used in countless crime dramas across the world.
No news on a series 2, so this isn’t a warm-up/refresh, it’s a pure repeat.

They are unlawfully detaining people for First Amendment protected activities, as far as I can tell. Dragging people out of their vehicles absent witnessing a crime and without a judicial warrant is repugnant to our constitutional order.
New video shows ICE agents detaining a US citizen legal observer in Minneapolis.
The agents smashed his car window, dragged him out, and placed a knee on his neck.
