ICE uses “command‑overload”—rapid, conflicting orders that no one can physically follow—then labels people “non‑compliant” to justify force.
When compliance isn’t possible, and the GOP answer is “comply or die,” is this tactic meant to harm more immigrants and allies?

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports.
And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.”
Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

Half of these new ICE recruits are just guys who want to cosplay and hold a badge and feel like they can be assholes with impunity. The rest of them were recruited from the proud boys and other hate groups so they could help deliver Trump and Steven Miller’s vision for America.

A Trump quote without his voice or face - It's Trump without Trump. This is from his meeting with oil and gas executives in the White House on January 9th, 2026. He showed them the beginning of his great big ballroom - Ballroom dreaming.

The detail that they sold this kid’s phone blocks away after stealing it when illegally detaining him really underscores the fact that these are bounty hunters out to enrich themselves while causing havoc.
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.

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.

Sometimes they just tell us they are weaponizing the criminal justice system to push their political agenda.
Sen. Kevin Cramer: "Maybe the point should be if you're the attorney for Jay Powell and you want to avoid an indictment, how about you go to Jeanine Pirro and say, 'I'll make a deal. I'll step down today if you drop the investigation today.' To me, that would be a win win for everybody."

Rep. Casten has it absolutely correct: Trump is *both* weaker *and* more dangerous than ever.
Buckle up, but don't be afraid. Because fear is how he wins.

Let's be clear. Donald Trump will indict the Fed Chair, kidnap foreign leaders and kill American citizens in MN if it distracts you from asking WTF is in the Epstein files because HIS BASE doesn't like pedophiles. None of this is normal. But everything he does is from weakness right now.

In my world, there's a certain reluctance to being merely, or in a knee-jerk way, a resist lib. That's understandable, even commendable. On the other hand, let's be clear: It's a hell of lot better, morally and intellectually and politically, to be a resist lib than a Vichy conservative.
