I appreciate Klepper asking Frey about things like eviction moratorium, MPD assisting ICE, & how the mayor could do more, and I'm not surprised at all that Frey dodged those questions and responded with polite fluff. He praises Minneapolitans but we have to work harder because of his lack of effort.

Going to make a thread of every reason to NEVER vote for Newsom. Let's start with:

When a sitting representative refers to the Super Bowl halftime show as “pornography,” people should use that to reflect on how they and other representatives are simultaneously working to ban, censor, and restrict “pornography” and what that actually means

Well then play it. Play it again and again until there’s an answer. Make them answer for sending Nazi death troops to wage a war of terror against the U.S. civilian population.
THANEDAR: What did your ICE agent mean when he said, 'you raise your voice, I erase your voice' in the video all of us have seen?

The political faction saying we must all have to log legal ID before speaking or accessing speech on the Internet,

Age verification is deanonymization,
Deanonymization is censorship.
The Supreme Court is now taking away your right to anonymously *read* a form of speech. If speaking can mean that your readers have to subject themselves to potential consequences to read it, how can there be freedom of speech?

NEW: In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court held that age verification for explicit sites is constitutional. The majority said it protects minors without violating free speech; dissenters warned it burdens adults’ rights and ignores First Amendment precedent.

We're not talking enough about how much the Hennepin County Sheriff's Department run by Dawanna Witt is collaborating with ICE. Arresting at Whipple, working with ICE to arrest legal observers, failing to trespass ICE when not welcome in hospitals and schools. Shame.

Christopher Nolan should have cast Helen of Troy the way the Greeks would have: by casting the most attractive young man in the company and giving him a really fuckable porcelain mask.
Having a WOMAN play Helen of Troy??? Talk about inaccurate. The Greeks would fucking riot.

Shit is nuts. This week I spoke to a crim. defense attorney from mpls who mostly does federal work. He said a client got arrested with 19 pounds of meth & an indictment was coming. Then the feds had to forgo the indictment because they don’t have the resources. Walking away from 19 pounds of meth!
They are running out of lawyers.
DM me? We used to get hundreds of highly qualified applicants for a single job posting. Good prosecutors are increasingly hesitant to work for this DOJ.

They could have stopped funding to DHS and ICE by forcing a shutdown.
But instead, they threw them a couple more weeks money to keep terrorizing citizens?

The funniest shit is that I feel like the huge turnout downtown is almost because of the cold not in spite of it. The fact that it’s -10 degrees out led to just more defiance, like thousands out there saying, it isn’t even that bad out.

This poll shows that 74% of Democrats support abolishing ICE, with 53% *strongly* supporting getting rid of the agency.
Any elected Democrat who wants ICE to exist is outside the mainstream of their party and the people they purport to represent.
