Trump once triggered a federal inquiry because an escalator embarrassed him at the UN. Ilhan Omar was assaulted and immediately kept doing her job. Draw your own conclusions about who belongs representing the people.

the pedant in me wants to say "keith porter was killed 90 minutes before the new year so he shouldn't count as a 2026 ice killing"
the rest of me is like "ok but most people who leave him out do so not for that technicality but because he was a black man."
so i'm okay not being a pedant here.

I paid my therapist a zillion dollars to tell me this, so I’m passing it on to anyone else in MN who needs to hear it:
Think of taking time away to recharge not as not doing the work, but as doing quality control for the work. You’re not going to be able to show up to do it well if you’re depleted

If ICE are just going after “murders, rapists, gang bangers, domestic abusers & pedophiles”, then why is it so hard for them to secure a judicial warrant for their arrests?
I have yet to see a single legal observer trying to interfere w a legitimate arrest warrant on a suspected violent criminal.

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.

First they said "the footage had been 'irretrievably destroyed,'" but they were working to recover it.
Later, it "was lost due to nonspecific 'system crash.'"
Now, it "was never recorded... it would appreciate if the plaintiffs would stop asking... It would be of “marginal relevance” anyway."
