NY/DC corridor media speeding right to the absolution of Trump and missing the fact that nothing has changed in Minnesota, despite his alleged change in tone
A reminder that ICE hasn’t slowed down in Minneapolis at all.
Outside of Minnesota, it might feel like everything has changed since Alex Pretti’s murder. But ICE hasn’t actually lost any power and they’re continuing to terrorize our communities.

Pretty sad how desperately Minnesotans are having to plead with Democrats not to do what they obviously want to more than anything else: take the slightest hint of acquiescence from Trump as a reason to stop any and all pushback and get back to talking about egg prices.

Extremely funny that the champion of the revolutionary left/socialist boogeyman of Republicans everywhere is basically Leslie Knope.
One of the hardest things to do is bring campaign-level communications to the work of governance, and snowstorms are notoriously one of the biggest litmus tests that less-engaged voters use to judge mayoral administrations. This is an excellent way to communicate.

Begging my liberal friends (and politicians) to stop with the "IT WAS DIFFERENT WHEN BIDEN/OBAMA DID IT" bullshit.
It was horrific then and it's horrific now.
We can grow and be better. We HAVE to stop acting like Obama was the bar and it will never get better than that.

I remain absolutely furious that all this shit in Minneapolis started because a barely-literate homeschooled mormon made a video trying to run up in daycare centers trying to find people of Somalian descent doing fraud despite the ringleader (a white woman) being in jail since March. Demonic.

Wisconsin stands with everyone resisting ICE in Minnesota. We will not look away.
For the second time this month, we're in the street protesting because masked paramilitary agents have murdered an innocent civilian.

Most of this year's ICE budget comes from last year's reconciliation bill. House Democratic leaders discouraged its members from offering amendments eliminating that funding. Didn't want the party to come across as anti-ICE.

On a cop's very first day of training they are taught "warrior mindset," that all civilians are potentially lethal threats to be subdued.
They're told horror stories and shown gore porn of what these lethal civilians will do to them if they let their guard down.

Today's shooting happened because no one in power did shit about Jonathan Ross killing Renee Good. There are zero consequences for murdering people if you work for ICE. And they know it. And it'll happen again soon.

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

We have been told for nearly 30 years that America needed to tolerate mass shootings because the broad availability of guns would help us defend ourselves from an overreaching federal government. That day has come. The people who said this are supporting the federal agents. Many have joined them.

I know the idea of “better” policing is as old a demand as civil rights movements in this country, the impulse to call for it at this moment is so terribly cruel that it can only be understood as aligned with the terrorists.

“Do violent video games make you violent” as a moral panic was such a shame because it elided the position of violence in the narrative, which DOES have real implications. Playing DOOM does not make you violent, but playing COD does propagandize you into supporting the American imperial project

I deleted TikTok back when the Oracle purchase was announced but if you've still got it, you GOTTA dump it. Especially for trans folks. It straight up says in the new TOS that they--Oracle, the company that has active ties to the Trump admin--are monitoring and documenting trans and NB users.

I mean the writing has been on the wall for a while, all major social media is essentially state run now and this was what TikTok users were greeted by during the initial blackout hooplah a year ago. I still have my screenshot because it was so creepy.

It's already demoralizing to be a federal thug, a barely sentient ogre. Nobody likes or respects you. But then you go to work in -19 weather thinking surely today you'll get a break from people yelling at you. But no there they are. They're not even cold
Outside the Twin Cities this morning, where it is -19F—
Minnesotans are gathered early outside the Whipple Federal Building. ICE and DHS agents currently arriving at work to much disapproval.
