ICE are thug scum.
ICE detain U.S. citizen for looking Somali—use illegal chokehold to tackle him to ground.
Man repeatedly begs agents to look at his digital passport ID—they refuse.
Drove him 7 miles away before releasing him alone into Minnesota snow storm—told him to "walk home" in freezing weather advisory.

None ask me to raise healthcare costs. None ask to see their neighbors kidnapped.

Almost got run over in the 15th st separated lane today. Shouted “FU¢K DUDE!” at the driver as pedestrians gasped, seeing I was about to get rolled. When I caught up to him at the next light he rolled down his window and said “did you need something?” #visionzero @bikelaneuprising.bsky.social

“awful people don’t deserve to be killed, but they don’t deserve to be praised, either” is apparently a thought too complex for the pundit mind

COMMENTARY: Charlie Kirk was shot in Utah today. And so were schoolchildren in Colorado. Because of the sick delusion that violence solves problems. None of us is safe.

Press needs to stop repeating govt euphemism of “clearing homeless camps.” I’ve witnessed it in other cities: massive destruction of personal property. Not just bedrolls & tents; family photos, Bibles, meds. Times I’ve seen it people weren’t even given option to move their things.

Trump assembled one majority, but that does not preclude his opponents from assembling another. We often talk about elections as if we are baking a cake — with the outcome fixed and irreducible — but it is more akin to building a Lego model. The pieces can be arranged a different way.

I once read a comment saying something like "if you choose not to laugh at farts, your life will contain less laughter but still the same amount of farts". I think about that a lot.

Also do notice, these two Supreme Court decisions dropped the *same day*:
- States can restrict online speech if it is "adult".
- The mere depiction of homosexual existence can be objectionable adult content.
A plus B equals C

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

This is a fever dream. The city is not under migrant occupation. This whole thing kicked off because ICE began an intense operation across the city to raid Home Depots and nail salons and places where random undocumented immigrants might be going about their day working a job.

We don’t need to back off the American Gestapo and we don’t need to respect its agents. People exercising state violence are not entitled to anonymity. Nor are the people directing the state violence.
MIKE JOHNSON: From the people who mandated mask wearing for years, it's absurd. They need to back off ICE & respect our agents
Q: So you're ok w/agents not identifying themselves when they're arresting migrants?
J: Why, so they can target them? So they can put names and faces online and dox them?
