“Impeding” is the belief that white* men can do what they want without any opposition, and any opposition, no matter how lawful, safe, nor interfering, is impeding their will.
Fucking wusses.

Aaron still has a sense of humor after living in Minneapolis this ICE-filled winter.
We beat the Gestapo with community, love, humor, and frivolity.

Bovino advanced all the way to within eyesight of Paisley Park, but his supply lines were stretched too thin and ultimately his frozen troops were encircled by Will Stancil and wine moms with whistles

"Let's slink out of #Minnesota while everybody's talking about Bondi crashing out
And send these 2,300 troops to places less organized
And where it's not 4° below zero"
Now is the time to ramp up your ICE Action and Mutual Aid networks, everybody!

Ending this operation is not enough.
We need justice and accountability. That starts with independent investigations into the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, economic restitution for businesses impacted, abolishing ICE, and the impeachment of Kristi Noem.

The SAVE America Act isn’t saving anyone.
Congress should be expanding access to the ballot box—not restricting it. This bill could make it harder for millions of married women to vote if it passes. It’s voter suppression disguised in the name of election security.
I will be voting HELL no.

Exactly. They’re timing what looks to be less Gestapo violence with getting DHS funding. Then like whack-a-mole the goons pop up elsewhere to terrorize.
Minnesota, you won. Much of ICE are leaving. Don't trust this. They are trying to get the funding bill passed. Once the bill passes they'll be back at it either by you or someplace else.

In a normal government, this results in the resignation of multiple cabinet officials (Transportation, Defense, and Homeland Security), and the closure or (at least!) radical reorg of the cartoonishly incompetent agency at the center of it: CBP.

Today my students asked about AI advertising to student populations/campuses and I recommended that they read tech bro rhetoric about AI while swapping out "AI" for the terms "slavery," "pollution," "billionaire profits," or "deep state surveillance," and we had a great time. Highly recommend.

If Putin is such a badass, and is serious about peace, why doesn't he go to Kyiv? The entire world knows Ukrainian assurances of his safety are far more believable than Russia's is of Zelenskyy's. Ol' Vlad can show the world he's serious AND a brave badass in one fell swoop. Of course... he won't.
