Absolute badass, with more guts in one fingertip than Trump, Miller and every ICE goon combined. She straight up went after his ass. This is a real American.
REP. OMAR after being attacked with liquid: “We will continue! These fucking assholes are not gonna get away with this! Here is the reality people like this ugly man don’t understand — we are Minnesota Strong. We’ll stay resilient in the face of whatever they might throw at us.”

So the government shutdown doesn't affect the ICE thugs? Then we have no government. ABOLISH ICE and throw the trash administration in the dumpster.

Neil Young. Still showing us the way all these years later..

If you haven't heard, he gifted his entire catalog to Greenland for free. He says he hopes it will "ease some of the unwarranted stress…you are experiencing from our unpopular and hopefully temporary government,”

All Trump does I’d push his agenda till there’s outrage, then he fires someone and claims victory. Meanwhile all he did was put out the fire he started and deems himself a hero. Then goes on camera and tells everyone he’s fixed the economy.

Raskin, if Jordan doesn't move to impeach Noem: "I will ... launch a complete oversight and impeachment inquiry into all potential constitutional crimes ... related to these homicides as well as to other episodes of bureaucratic lawlessness and corruption that may involve treason, bribery" etc.

And as a reminder, THIS is what Raymond had to say about the murder of Renee Goode.

Just an absolutely rotten, vile man.

They always claim to be majority but they can't ever find an audience to pay for their propaganda. Any 'success' is usually a loss-leader propped up by oligarch or party money.
Amazon’s MGM studios spent tens of millions, but the documentary is projected to make just $1M in its first week.

This comes as a new report from Rolling Stone details serious labor issues and two-thirds of the film’s staff requesting not to be credited at the end of the film. trib.al/Clr03cD

The need to be “a big man” is very strong.

And you better believe that ICE guys are running shakedowns, stealing stuff and fencing it, coercing sex, etc. If they‘re not into drugs, they will be soon.

ICE isn’t *like* organized crime, it *is* organized crime.
I think we also have to talk about how it’s not so much the desperation of poverty, but the hustle/grind culture that drives people to abandon principles and “get that bag.”

In that sense, you might see ICE as a product of the same forces that lead people to organized crime.

The Star of the North.
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

When Trump says the problem in the Alex Pretti murder was the presence of a gun in the hands of a citizen, it's a good reminder that Trump really has no ideology. He believes in money and power, nothing else. He's a mob boss who exploited other people's ideology to seize the White House.

Important thread. ICE has been practicing, escalating, pushing the envelope, since their time in Chicago.
A thread on escalations in ICE tactics I've noted, that struck me as over & beyond what we saw them do in Chicago. (Besides the murders. I don't think I have to mention that, but they did that in Chicago too.) For my own reference & preparedness

As a Minnesotan who has dedicated his career to mental health issues, it's really hitting me that I'll be dealing with the ICE occupation for as long as I'm both a Minnesotan and a mental health person.
It's trauma for our community.
Most of us will survive. But we'll be forever changed.
