Things you might not know about Minneapolis because the focus lately is on how full of BAMFs it is: we have a world class city park system.
A little bit of normal Minneapolis, for a treat. This is a public city park, and this is our God given perfect snow. ICE out now, go home please, we never wanted you and you’ve outstayed your welcome. Go home please! So ICE can be abolished and you’ll be home already. Thanks, bye!

ICE officials said he ran into a wall, which doctors immediately rejected as inconsistent with the wounds. The immigrant's account - that he was beaten in the head by steel batons, contrary to DHS guidelines - is more plausible. But no accountability exists for him, or us.

The result of President Trump posting a racist video is that the only Black Republican Senator is going to be forced out of his leadership position.

Short form content has advantages but the bsky char limit of 300, double Twitter's original and rounded up still seems archaic. Good mostly for hot takes to drive engagement and entertainment, not enrichment. Mastodon default 500 is a good sweet spot IMO.

By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet

Yes to the “ICE Out of Our Faces Act”
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) have descended into utter lawlessness, most recently in Minnesota. The violence is shocking. So are the intrusions on

Watching the #olympic opening ceremony and can't help thinking about how supercharged repression will likely be before #LA28 even compared to most mega events. Likely massive surges maybe bigger than #minnesota, of all federal law enforcement against poor, immigrants, activists in #LA in 2028.

The national #Democrats are spineless. They gave Trump two weeks to keep terrorizing #Minnesota while they try to come up with policy changes for #ICE. In two weeks how many more front doors and car windows will be illegally broken? How many more people illegally detained. How many more dead?

#ICE has been caught invading homes in Minneapolis without a warrant. They invade so many cars, breaking windows without sure prices that it's no longer newsworthy, cars with broken windows, sometimes still idling seen frequently in the city. Now #ICE has tried to invade the Ecuadorian consulate.

All that right-wing talk since the 1990s about the danger of a violent and unaccountable federal government, whose agents would one day gun Americans down in the streets, I foolishly thought that was a warning, but it turns out it was more of a promise they were making

In case you hadn't heard, today #ICE used chemical irritant weapons on a high school and arrested a school employee as school was getting out. Shocking and also something you should be aware of that happened today in #Minneapolis.
