Since I'm done with the bad place, need to get Tommy content up. Throw back to the era where Tommy terrorized our kitchen by opening the freezer.

I was asked what image really stands out for me from the scene of today's killing of an observer by federal agents. It's this one, where border patrol Commander Greg Bovino appears to be staging a photo op less than an hour after and just a few dozen feet from where a federal agent killed a woman.

After the assassination of Melissa Hortman it’s not hard to understand why a woman in Minnesota would be afraid of a man in a mask who says he’s a cop.

Oh sorry, I haven’t been online that much tonight, I’ve been forced to help organize a safety patrol at my kid’s daycare, because ICE stopped by today.

Guy who becomes an upzoning urbanist just so ICE doesn’t have any local parking lots to stage their raids in.

National media who are coming to Minneapolis, please treat people respectfully. Don't burn sources. Don't make people distrust journalists because you want a quick story. Consider instead hiring some of the good local journalists who have been here doing the work and will be here after you leave.

My one consolation at the prospect of the arrival of national media is that it's January, and they all fucking hate wearing hats.

Extremely heartening thread, also maybe the only time someone has said something nice about DHI management.
This morning, ICE surrounded multiple Shakopee homes under construction stranding multiple workers on the roof.
Our observer network had a very large, wonderful response, plus Shakopee PD, and the management at DR Horton.

This image is haunting. The blood of a murdered poet, immediately slandered as a domestic terrorist by a lying regime, juxtaposed with her child’s stuffed animals.

Right. The point is not “it matters extra because it’s a citizen,” the point is “we either hang together or we will all hang separately.”
i think it is ok to reiterate that the victim as a us citizen. yes, noncitizens are equally entitled to human rights. but also, it's important to illustrate how ice isn't about immigration at all

I need people to wrap their minds around the fact that here in Minneapolis, ICE broke the window of a vehicle yesterday, pepper sprayed the occupants, and arrested them, and shot another observer in the face today, and OBSERVERS ARE STILL GOING OUT TO PROTECT THEIR NEIGHBORS AT MASSIVE PERSONAL RISK
I’m eating lunch, I’m having a panic attack, I’m charging my phone, and then I’m going back out to try and keep my neighborhood safe.

I think there's a point where you are so angry that you run out of mental space for fear, and I think a lot of Minneapolis and St. Paul were there, today.

I don’t think the feds really understand what they are up against. They shot and killed someone in the heart of a community that stood up against violence at the hands of government agents in 2020. And then they think they can lie about it and spew racist bile about our friends and neighbors? Uh no.

I just watched this and wept. How cruel and inhumane.
They carried her limp body through the street by the arms and legs because ICE had blocked off the street and they couldn't even get an abulance through with a stretcher.
WITNESS: "I just can't let this narrative of self-defense go any further. That’s absolutely not what it was… ICE agents didn’t let anyone help her for 15 minutes, then medics couldn’t get through with their ambulance.”

Ok well done.
Q: After you told ICE to get the F out, Republicans are criticizing you for escalating tensions
FREY: I'm sorry if I offered their Disney princess ears, but if we're talking about what's inflammatory, on one hand you got someone who dropped an F bomb & on other you have someone who killed someone
