The most famous police training program is literally called “killology.”
They just practice how to kill people because they think it’s badass even though most of their day to day job is more like writing parking tickets.
Nobody because a cop to do anything but violence, that’s the whole appeal.

I grew up with Alex Pretti
The kind-hearted ICU nurse shot by ICE agents was my childhood best friend.

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Powerful read by sports columnist Jim Souhan: "Use your wealth, and the power that accompanies wealth in America, to protect your fans and employees, any of whom could be shot, beaten, gassed, rammed or abducted the next time they encounter federal agents." www.startribune.com/jim-souhan-m...
Souhan: What good are sports in times like these?
Local owners should be making a statement. Better yet, they should be taking action.

Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him.
The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/

@smith.senate.gov @amyklobuchar.com shut down every single fucking thing in the US Senate until ICE leaves our state. No unanimous consent for anything. No funding for anything. Shut it down.

Impeach them all.
Kristi Noem’s DHS has gone far beyond the rule of law and terrorized our communities.
Today I’m filing Articles of Impeachment against Kristi Noem.
It’s time for her to go.

When we started this list of Minnesota businesses taking part in the Jan. 23 economic blackout we didn't realize quite what an undertaking it would be, but we are now at more than 250 and counting.
