ICE made a Minneapolis man leave his house in his underwear
Duffy: "I can't mandate you dress up, but don't wear pajamas & slippers to the airport. If you dress a little better you behave a little better. We're all getting into tight airline seats. The prices go down when we do that. But I want people to be well behaved & Ia little better dressed would help"

Democrats needing to message on affordability as the country endures a brutal authoritarian takeover is tragic. Take it from someone who lives in occupied Minneapolis. Our problems go deeper than prices.

The reality is that 2024 was a fundamental test of the moral character of the nation and we failed spectacularly. We’re living with the consequences now. Maybe we improve. I hope so.

I know not everyone can afford it, but if you can, I highly recommend lending a hand to the people of Minnesota.

Gonzalez tells me voted for the DHS bill because “and it would do nothing, absolutely nothing, to ice operations around this country. Now, you put a bill on this floor that will defund ice operations in my district and around the country, and I'll vote a yes for it.” #TX34

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.

Marisa raised >18k for on-the-ground support in Minneapolis in less than a day from one platform, and it was solely by saying "send any amount of money you want to call this evil man names."
No, the Democrats are *not* without power.

New— I wrote about the amazing success of the Greg Bovino Bitch Fund Benefiting Immigrant Rights in Minnesota (more than $18k raised just from bluesky!!!), how people far and wide are inspired by the fighting spirit, and why I feel it’s my duty as a journalist to use my platform for material change:
Calling Greg Bovino a "b*tch" raises thousands for Minn. immigrant rights
Spearheaded by The Handbasket, $18k+ in donations were made to spite the CBP commander.

1. Fuck off with the groveling "don't make him angry" abuser language.
2. Stop admonishing protesters. Direct it at ICE and CBP, the organizations driving the violence.
3. Violence does not only help Trump. Violence may well be the only way out of this. But if you grew a spine, it might deter him.

Violence only helps Trump & may provide him an excuse to further trample our rights by invoking the Insurrection Act.

The fundamental problem here is not one of bad apples. This is what the agency is designed to do. The barrel is bad to start with.
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.
