Really hard to look at this and all the other examples of bravery and kindness from ordinary people in this moment not think also of the tremendous cowardice exhibited over the past year by some of the richest, most well-protected people in business, media and politics
Let us all have the courage displayed by the residents of Minneapolis.

These fucking old ass Democrat senators are a fucking joke. If someone asks you if you're a no on DHS funding, and you don't immediately say no, it's fuck you forever

If you’re sitting in awe of how Minnesota moves, you need to start copy+pasting our movements onto your community.
Have you taken CPR/first aid training recently? Are you stocked up on first aid supplies? Eye wash?
Does your school/daycare have parent patrol watches organized already?
WE DON'T NEED YOU HERE...WE NEED YOU THERE. Getting ready now.

BTW when I say abolish ICE, I mean abolish it entirely and replace it with exactly nothing. Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. That's it.

Saying there must be trials isn't just an emotive aspiration.
Congress can:
- Create a new court (complying w/ 6A jury vicinage)
- Give it jurisdiction over defined category of crimes
- Also create dedicated prosecutors for the same
- Strip SCOTUS of appellate jurisdiction
It can be done.

i’d also be super interested in talking to people at these companies about the vibe after your bosses ate popcorn with the president during a political assassination. signal in bio.
If you work at Apple, Zoom, Amazon and AMD (not to mention Palantir or Nvidia) i think you should organize, unionize, and hold your fascist enabling CEO accountable.
You are powerful together

An insane, perfect encapsulation of it all:
The same day Trump’s agents kill a Veterans Affairs ICU nurse in broad daylight, the CEOs of Apple and Amazon join Trump to watch a private screening of a film about his wife directed by an alleged sexual abuser who was seen shirtless in the Epstein Files

I was a sensitive kid. I loved cats. I had OCD, undiagnosed.
When I was 9, a fraternity brother tortured a cat to death in my hometown. The details even now are beyond imagination. archive.is/xdmUL
I was traumatized for years from reading the news story.
The torturer? Now the head of the NRA.

I was having this conversation last night with someone about how many people are in the lynching postcard layer of this and simply do not care who the state harms or kills, they have already convinced themselves that person deserves it.
I talk to MAGA voters a lot. They are open and honest about supporting mass deportation. They think it's a good thing, and they support the mission of ICE.
The language they use to justify it and to excuse the horrors, is *exactly* the same language that centrist Dems use to justify US policing.

When was the last time you talked to a Trump supporter about how happy they are about all this? I experienced this the other day, and the advantage they have is how morbidly stunning their alternative reality is. They hate being called Nazis, yet refuse to see why violent terror forces are wrong.

Marimar Martinez was the first US citizen shot by ICE.
They claimed she was a terrorist. Said she was brandishing a weapon.
They lied. Video footage exonerated her and showed the ICE agent shot her five times.
He bragged to other agents “five shots, 7 holes”.

Worth noting that one reason you’re benefitting so fully from the Star-Tribune’s timely, extensive coverage of unfolding events is that it’s a metro newspaper that hasn’t been systematically starved to further enrich shareholders and executives.

What's happening in Minnesota is one reason the Reconstruction Amendments banned insurrectionists from holding office. Unfortunately, the originalists on the Supreme Court interpreted the plain language of the amendment to mean its opposite.

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

The thing is that we don't have state media in the U.S., and try as they might this administration and their right-wing media enablers cannot suppress the vast amount of video evidence that refutes this propaganda
Noem lies shamelessly: "An individual approached order Patrol officers with a 9mm semi-automatic gun. The officers attempted to disarm this individual, but the armed suspect reacted violently. This looks like a situation where an individual arrived to inflict maximum damage and kill law enforcement"

One need not believe that the election was tainted to believe that this regime has *rendered* itself illegitimate.
I'm glad to hear Bouie say "This regime is illegitimate" because it's a word that's been bouncing around in my head. I think it's a helpful framing and one that Democratic leaders internalize. Once you accept that this is an illegitimate, authoritarian regime, it should inform how you resist.
