Lol, I just clocked where this was taken. Here comes a regular Nazi.
An off-duty ICE agent was just confronted in Minneapolis after people noticed a Nazi SS lightning bolt tattoo on his neck.
If you’re proud enough to ink it on your neck, why are you running when people notice?

My wife this morning made the fun and delightful observation that this is the second occupation she's lived through since i convinced her to move to the Cities. So, that's sure something i'm gonna be thinking about for a while.

It appears two ICE observers following ICE agents on 31st in south Minneapolis this morning were arrested. Activists say it appears the ICE observer vehicle was stopped or slid into something, and ICE agents used pepper spray and broke the car window, arresting the occupants.

ICE is out in large numbers in Saint Paul and Minneapolis today following the recent surge in federal agents being deployed to the Twin Cities. Please be careful, support your neighbors, and contact the MONARCA hotline (612.441.2881) with any verified ICE sightings.

IDK if this is part of the calculus here or not, but for weeks there's been a group of heroes in town who've gone to whichever hotel ICE is staying in that night, and raised a major ruckus outside - horns, whistles, complete drum-kits, the works.
Hilton stated this policy back in 2020. I don't know if they started accepting ICE reservations since and have stopped again, or what.

I keep seeing various versions of this take and it’s just… like… not really, man? Maybe there’s some truth to it in a broad zeitgeist-y sense I guess, but I’m not so sure that’s what’s really going on here. But what do I know? I just live here.
So Trump successfully bullied a good man and his family. Because winning over Harris Walz wasn’t enough. Trump wanted to destroy him.
Walz is making the right decision for his family. But the success of Trump’s grotesque bullying campaign is yet another frightening step in our national descent.
