ICE totaled this car, abducted a woman, and then left it in the middle of Snelling Avenue, one of the busiest streets in the Twin Cities.
This isn’t law and order, this state sanctioned terrorism. It’s fucking disgusting.

We have made ourselves wholly dependent on a Trump ally for our national security at the exact moment Trump is threatening to invade a NATO ally

The animating force at the heart of US conservatism currently is incandescent rage at the mere idea of women's autonomy and independence. An image of a smiling woman who looks insufficiently deferential for their tastes riles them up enough to tear up the social contract.
this is all it’s really about for them. Not domestic policy, not “economic anxiety”, just an endless desire to punish stand-ins for the Mommy who forced them take a bath, even if it tanks their own quality of life.

Also: the sentiment that law enforcement should not be in a position where they have to endure disrespect is craven, servile, and profoundly un-American. Saying is a relatively rare burst of truth from Trump,. People who agree show their ass as born bootlickers.

Almost surely won't happen, but it should. History will remember that they have done nothing as Trump destroys NATO and Fed independence
With Trump going full authoritarian on Venezuela-Greenland, ICE, and the Fed, the response has to be serious. Four Republican senators (Tillis, McConnell, Murkowski, Collins?) could announce they’ll caucus for now with the Dems to give them control of the Senate to check Trump.

It's worth your time to call Hilton to cancel your account with them. 1-800-446-6677. Here's why:
They asked me if it was because of the ICE thing. I said it was. Then they suggested I wait a couple days to see if they were going to change course.
The pressure is getting to them. Let's keep it up.

Look I know that “diversity is our strength” is cringe but: diversity is our strength. People who come from distinct cultural practices actively serving in community with one another. What a blessing to live in a world where that happens.
The thing about all these people they hate — the Somalis, the Haitians — are some of the most generous people you’ve ever met. Whose cultures are predicated on hospitality, whose kindness is entirely unmatched.
Somali aunties were giving out samosas to the anti ICE protesters in Minneapolis.

Yes. This is why they released the Ross cell phone footage. They want to make sure we know that they will kill us if we disrespect them.
Trump on Air Force One when asked about Renee Nicole Good
“It was highly disrespectful of law enforcement. Law enforcement shouldn’t be in a position where they have to put up with this stuff”
So if you’re annoyed or disrespected you can just kill the person so you don’t have to put up with it?

This is a corrupt, politically motivated attack on the Federal Reserve.
The strict independence of the Fed has been paramount to the stability of the global economy for over a century, which will collapse if Trump moves to seize control of it.
