Worth noting that among those participating in ICE/DHS watch in Minneapolis today — who Emmer appears to frame as “chaos agents” here — are literally hundreds of clergy.

They are now arresting members of the clergy.
Arrests calmly ongoing.

This is going to take a while. There are a lot of clergy risking arrest.

AOC: An agency that is attacking U.S. citizens, kidnapping five-year-olds and using them as bait, and privately circulating the idea that they can violate the rights of Americans by busting down their doors—they deserve to be defunded, and I’ll take any step in that direction.

I spent the morning at the San Antonio immigration court. It’s out of control.

Crawling with ICE - arresting legal immigrants showing up for court appearances.

I asked one officer who they are prioritizing. His answer: everyone.

I need to share with you what I saw.

We need to get our shit together. This is not the time to comply, comply, comply. This changes everything. This is not CS or a knee to the neck. This is ICE prepared to hose us down in masse.

To all those listening or watching the Jack Smith testimony, remind yourself that at no time has any Republican offered a single piece of evidence that contradicts any of Jack Smith’s conclusions about Trump‘s criminal activity regarding the 2020 election.

It is obvious why the Insurrection Act appeals to Trump: He undoubtedly imagines it as a kind of cheat code that would make him omnipotent and allow him to establish MAGA dictatorship in an instance.

But it is just not true. And it is imperative we push back against such notions of inevitability.

You’re barking up the wrong tree their mister. 😣😠
The inability to understand or relate to everyday citizens of this country seems problematic for people entrusted to be our leaders.
Emmer: "The people you're seeing in these videos, the vast majority of them I do not believe are from Minnesota. These are organized chaos agents, paid agitators. The vast majority of Minnesotans that are talking to me appreciate that law enforcement has arrived, and they are happy they're there."

What a brave, principled man. Bless him.
Repeat after me - the institutions of this economy depend on the institutions of this democracy, among which is the rule of law
Jack Smith: "My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in our country for so long that many of us have come to take it for granted. The rule of law is not self-executing. It depends on our collective commitment to apply it."

This cruelty & racism is seeping into all parts of life. Many kids are being traumatized, but others are emulating it.

Children are learning from their hateful parents & a hateful President & Republican party that tormenting others is the norm.

Are you okay with that?
What will you do to stop it?

This new whistleblower report is on par with the Zelensky call - not just because it’s violative of law - but because they also tried to keep people from seeing it. I’ve been doing this for a long time and this is absolutely explosive news. Impeachable and criminal. Swift accountability must follow.

Stop what you’re doing and read this whistleblower report. ICE has been training its agents that they don’t need a judicial warrant to break down your door - a blatant violation of the 4th Amendment. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

MN lawyer provides updated tips about ICE

Register with a lawyer BEFORE protesting/ observing/ leaving home - ICE is denying access to ad hoc lawyers after pickup. Work in pairs, one stays back to get help if needed. Tips on phones, and more...

bsky.app/profile/dani...
(1) Get set up with an attorney before you go out, if at all possible. ICE has started asking if people they arrest have an attorney and, if they say no, denying access to the lawyers doing ad hoc jail support. Get a name and phone number. Memorize both of possible, write their number on your arm

This video filmed by Ben Luhmann shows the moment a federal agent sprayed chemical irritants directly into a man's face in south Minneapolis.

Three agents already had the man pinned to the ground when a fourth agent walked up and sprayed the irritants.
