Appreciate the talk about banning ICE masks in shutdown negotiations.
But the non-negotiable should be congressional oversight of ICE detention facilities. Full access, no appointments, no permission slips.
No compromise.

Call it bargaining by me, but if they want to fuck on a bed of shredded dollar bills representing the entire ICE appropriation, I’d take it as a win
the scuttlebutt about noem and lewandowski’s relationship is fun, but don’t miss that they used OBBA money to lease/buy an expensive private plane that said was for deportations but are instead using to jet around the country

I will be asking local CEOs to sponsor this April’s annual Giant Party Sub Party. Watch this space if any of these feckless losers pony up.
We don’t need a celebration we need to abolish ICE and get justice for those murdered and for those whose rights have been violated and return our neighbors. Reminder the Roman Colosseum was a propaganda machine that enforced hierarchy and was a distraction from living standards. Stay focused MPLS.

New in PN: Trump is clowning his evangelical base
"Trump now knows religious conservatives and their motivations well enough that he doesn’t feel a need to perform anymore. Like his supporters, he’s stopped pretending he’s anything but his worst self."

Weird how Trump seems more mad at MTG and Massie than Epstein. Probably nothing

Apparently ICE has taken new vehicle deliveries at Whipple for the past three days. So I think we have to stay vigilant, but it’s equally plausible that ICE is so fucking incompetent that the people in charge never talked to the logistics folks who order the cars.

It’s amazing how Trump does something so awful, so egregious, so repellent like posting a video of the Obamas as apes that he should be driven from office. But instead it’s all forgotten a week later. It is as much about our country as about him.

I've repeatedly used the Roosevelt HS case because it's so unexplainable.
Like, imagine the MPD was chasing a suspect and the chase took them through a high school at dismissal...
And then somehow they ended up getting into multiple scrums with students and arresting two teachers? What???

Some people automatically go into this “Well, what’s the other side of the story?” pose. But the answer is that there is no other side. They’re 100% doing the things we accuse them of, and then lying, despite voluminous evidence.

One of the terrible things about the ICE occupation of Minneapolis is that they’ve been doing stuff that is so crazy that people assume it’s some kind of exaggeration, despite being widely documented on video. Following observers home! Lurking outside elementary schools! Black-bagging citizens!

Already seeing people not from around here saying "Minnesota won" and I just— It's not over yet. We don't know if they'll actually withdraw. And the damage is overwhelming. We need a lot of fucking help here. And there are still people in concentration camps.

Klein: People are afraid to come into clinics or hospitals because they’re afraid they’ll be snatched. So they’re staying home with acute conditions like appendicitis. They’re not going to their follow-up neonatal appointments. They’re allowing their jaundiced babies to go untreated.
