“and then our goons will kidnap that life and send it to a concentration camp if we deem them the wrong color”
JD Vance: "To our fellow Americans we say, you're never gonna find great meaning in a cubicle or in front of a computer screen. But you will find great meaning if you dedicate yourself to the creation and sustenance of human life."

Many things one can say about this outrage, but as a terrorism researcher, I want to say to current and future students that this is one reason you should never rely on government databases to tell you who or what is a 'terrorist', domestic or otherwise.

JACK SMITH: “I have seen how the rule of law can erode. My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in our country for so long many of us have come to take it for granted. The rule of law is not self-executing. It depends on our collective commitment to apply it.”

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

An independent autopsy of Renee Good reveals that she had 3 gunshot wounds: to the left arm, right lung, and left temple that exited the right side of her head. That means the third shot, the most unlawful one, from the side, likely killed her. abc7.com/post/minneap...

@repilhan.bsky.social I’m sure you’ll do the right thing here. But i hope you’re doing everything you can to compel your fellow representatives to vote NO.
So the House is going to vote TOMORROW on the DHS funding bill that includes funding for ICE.
There's a real chance we can get Dems to vote NO on any bill with ICE funding to sink it.
Once it goes to the Senate we likely lose this chance.
24 hours. Go.

Few survived one concentration camp. Abraham “Eddie” Jaku survived three — and refused to let hatred win.
His life is a lesson: the best revenge on the Nazis wasn’t vengeance. It was to thrive, to live fully, to love, and to choose joy.

“One of the two whistleblowers was allowed to view the memo only in the presence of a supervisor and then had to give it back. That person was not allowed to take notes. A whistleblower was able to access the document and lawfully disclose to Congress, Whistleblower Aid said.”
AP: “New ICE hires and those still in training are being told to follow the memo’s guidance instead of written training materials that actually contradict the memo, according to the whistleblower disclosure.”
🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

We all want to get violent criminals off our streets, and the State of Minnesota has never wavered in doing so.
The federal government’s propaganda machine is taking credit for work that happened long before thousands of untrained agents showed up to put on a show for Trump.

Does Bovino believe we don’t already have an organization that apprehends criminals? Does he think all Minneapolitans endorse crime?
oh my god we just watched Trump do this for two hours and now we have to watch Bovino do it too?

Particularly unconscionable when Congress just gave ICE all that extraordinary funding
1. ICE has STOPPED PAYING for medical treatment for its 73,000 detainees
ICE has not paid its bills to 3rd party providers since OCTOBER and the situation will likely persist for MONTHS, a Popular Information investigation reveals
Meanwhile, critically ill ICE detainees are not receiving care

This kind of ultra-wealthy idiocy is revolting not just for its cluelessness but for what it reveals about how the idiot built his wealth. He moves through the world but does not see; others speak but he will not hear. His wealth lies not in perception but in brutality via financial “devices.”

This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.
