Very happy to amplify this message, but this bothers me every time I see it: The city population is irrelevant. ICE is not operating solely within the city limits of Minneapolis.

Minneapolis-St. Paul is the 16th largest urban area in the US. Roughly the same size as Seattle and bigger than Denver.
What ICE/BP is doing to Minneapolis is awful.

And it's taking everything they have. By population, Minneapolis is America's 45th largest city.

Keep both in mind at once: the regime's desire for authoritarian domination is bottomless, and they'll act on it, but their capacity to do so is limited.

Yes, immigration agents not only took Arnoldo's phone, the 10th grader had to use Find My Phone to locate it — in a vending machine for used electronics, close to an ICE detention center.

Arresting every ICE employee would get more criminals off the streets then arresting all of the people ICE is targeting.

Stack of switches arrived! 🛤️

These Micro Engineering Code 55 N Scale switches have been on backorder forever, but managed to score (more) than enough for a switching layout

Not quite ready to start building, as after reading a few of Lance Mindheim’s books, there’s more careful considering to do!

This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan.

A citizen.

Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold.

"We're from the United States bro!' he screamed.

Agents took and sold his phone

And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

If you’re in Minneapolis and you’re willing to do a little high-intensity driving and you think you’re capable of paying very close attention to your surroundings on the road, I can definitely teach you how to do this
Chased one ICE convoy from the lakes fully back to HQ today, a good day’s work imo

Rich cultural text that Will Stancil is in the streets of Minneapolis fighting ICE while the ten thousand losers who want him to dead are petrified of No Kings events because they might see a mom with a cell phone.

Just a perfect distillation of every discourse.

People have virtually no inkling of how a half-century of terrible legislation dug the hole we're in.

We don't need new ideas. We need the old ones back.
While we’re waiting for Republicans to unveil their healthcare plan, remember this:

Health insurance didn’t start as a corporate cash grab. Before the ‘70s, giants like Blue Cross & Blue Shield were nonprofits. Then the 1973 HMO Act, signed by President Nixon, turbocharged for-profit healthcare

During the first weeks of the invasion, there were Russian soldiers who filmed themselves raping women and posted the videos online. I, unfortunately, saw two of those videos. Since then, I think I have no more regard for the Russian soldier and place no value on his life.

I'm sorry, but if you're a Bluesky lib, you HAVE to be gracious about this. You HAVE to practice the principle of charity. You HAVE to give people off-ramps, especially when they're massively influential media figures.

You don't have to be *happy* about that, but you've gotta suck it up anyway.
