It bears repeating that Tom Homan is a fucking psycho and Greg Bovino's exile means functionally nothing when it comes to what's happening on the ground in Minnesota.
In one 30-minute stretch, three legal observers were arrested — as Trump’s Border czar Tom Homan calls on locals to “end the resistance.”

The Uptown Association said pre-construction that pedestrianizing Hennepin Ave (adding center medians) would make it impossible to hold the Uptown Art Fair again. We knew that was silly, motivated by knee jerk hostility to a safer street design. So it's nice to see them admit it.

The Super Bowl halftime show, with Bad Bunny showcasing Latin music before a global television audience expected to top 100 million, will illustrate the nation’s immigration divide whether or not the reggaeton star delivers an explicit political message.

You have to get halfway through this article - whose title implies we’re in a post-Minneapolis situation - to hear from locals or learn the “drawdown” touted in the opening has removed only 700 agents & left 2,000 here.

NEW Trump has burned through much of his immigration political capital before ICE could scale up its mass deportation tools. Now he wants a “softer” tune to stop the agency from becoming a pariah, and to shift attention from Minneapolis to his border record www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Trump’s team wants a reset on its mass-deportation goals, not a retreat.

Drop something into this brave leader’s campaign. We need strong people fighting for us.
A brand new Super PAC — Elect Chicago Women — just dropped hundreds of thousands of dollars into this race. Why?
Because it’s actually a front for AIPAC dark money. And they’re doing everything they can to buy my race:

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley.
Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo.
Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles.

Chughtai, in wide eyed wonder at what she's hearing, responds to idea that the undeserving will exploit rental assistance: if you have income at the level of minimum wage, couldn't pay your rent for whatever reason, and you've been served an eviction notice, you're by definition a person in need.

I am raising rent funds for a Minneapolis family with four kids. They owe a month of back rent for $3975 total.
Can we make this happen for them today? I believe in us & will post receipts!

tomorrow i would really like to challenge a few folks with larger followings than me to adopt a rent and raise it in one day.
my little group chat and my followers have paid like 70 families rents in the past four days. i believe that some of y’all could help us keep one family housed.

today's report:
our "adopt a rent" venmo campaign paid 43 families rents who were at risk of evictions, including several moms of 4+ children
this is the way to get rent paid fast. like. 1000x better than any other way.
