One of our Shakopee observers witnessed ICE pepper spray a baby today in Chanhassen.
(Yes. You read that right.)
The agent knew the baby was there. ICE does not make our communities safer. End Operation Metro Surge NOW!

🙏 On a snowy Friday afternoon in December, Minnesotans bundled up and gathered outside mosques across the state — offering peaceful protection while our Somali-American neighbors prayed.

it is almost as if accommodating and conceding to far right ideas legitimizes them and signals to voters that the far right is a legitimate choice for governance
The Danish Social Democrats are currently on course for their worst election result since at least the Second World War, despite their brand of far-right accommodationism being touted as a blueprint for other centre-left parties.

Looking at all available precincts in Hudson County, Sherrill support is higher in the most-densely Hispanic turf & tracks closely with '21. Turnout is *higher* than '21 across the county-- and even more so in the most Hispanic precincts.

yeah why might it be harder for someone to break 50% in a three-way race versus a two-way race. obviously it has something to do with ideology.

Thinking about the Ezra Klein podcast arguing that the Dems have made room for people like AOC and Mamdani but not Jared Golden...
Q: It's election day in NYC. Did you vote for Mamdani or Cuomo?
Schumer: "Look, I voted, and I look forward to working with the next mayor to help NYC."

This is the Canada ad Trump lost his mind over. Shocker, he’s lying—it is Reagan’s real voice.
He’s now cutting off trade with Canada because he’s scared it could mess with the Supreme Court case over his “reciprocal” tariffs.

The endgame for all of this is constructing a military that will obey orders when ordered to fire on citizens. That's the throughline to half of what Trump is doing.
yeah, this is hegseth straightforwardly announcing that it is free play time for bigots in the ranks. and together with his comments on standards, he clearly wants to purge as many women, black and brown people as he can from the armed services. a white man's military.
Hegseth: "We are overhauling an inspector general process that has been weaponized, putting complainers and poor performers in the driver seat. We are doing the same with the equal opportunity policies. No more frivolous complaints, no more anonymous complains ... no more walking on eggshells."

popularism at work
If the objective of being tough on immigration was for Labour to be perceived as more right-wing & nativist, the strategy worked.
❌ Labour was seen as more anti-immigration & more right-wing
❌Immigration became more salient as an issue
❌ But Labour’s perceived competence on immigration fell.
