Thesis: ICE is un-American and the Minneapolis protestors are real Americans.
Antithesis: Ackshually ICE is operating in a long American tradition of racist terror.
Synthesis: Minneapolis is now the epicenter of a clash between two distinct but historically grounded American political traditions.

If you're looking for somewhere to give your money over the next couple of months, your local food bank is about to be absolutely walloped. I'd either give local or steer your donations to Feeding America, which is the main nationwide food bank network. www.feedingamerica.org

this post is factually incorrect. the imminent SNAP disaster is not due to the government shutdown. it is the result of trump illegally withholding contingency funds appropriated by congress. it is not a matter of interpretation.
One food bank meal is equal to approximately nine meals provided by SNAP — but many food banks are bracing for a surge in demand if millions don’t receive benefits in November due to the government shutdown.
Food banks brace as people face federal aid stoppage: ‘We cannot meet the gap’
Already strained by federal funding cuts earlier in the year and a surge in demand from furloughed federal workers, food banks face a fresh wave of need as SNAP benefits end Saturday.

NEW: ICE is planning to hire a team of nearly 30 people to surveil social media 24/7, build dossiers on people, and flag them for arrest and deportation. @dell.bsky.social has the scoop: www.wired.com/story/ice-so...
ICE Wants to Build Out a 24/7 Social Media Surveillance Team
Documents show ICE plans to hire dozens of contractors to scan X, Facebook, TikTok, and other platforms to target people for deportation.

For most of the last decade, our media and political class has panicked over the idea that progressives were intruding on free speech rights by loudly criticizing people with unpopular views.
Anyway, here's far-right federal paramilitaries advertising that they'll rip down pro-immigrant messages.

Trump, Miller, Noem et al are disappearing innocent people to a concentration camp to be tortured. They know this is what they're doing. Everyone who has touched this policy belongs in prison.
Those held at CECOT were forced to sleep on cold metal benches (mattresses were brought in for photo ops) and given a single water bucket for washing and drinking.
If anyone was seen washing themselves not at 4:00 AM, they were taken into a cell, tied to a chair, and beaten.

It’s becoming increasingly unclear who exactly is grabbing people, including citizens:
ICE? Bounty hunters acting for ICE? Straight-up vigilante militias?
All of the above are illegal. Some violates California law.
There needs to be EXTREMELY harsh accountability for this Nazi-level thuggery.

Trump’s secret police deported yet another immigrant to the gulag in El Salvador despite a court order not to do so.

A court halted his deportation. The Trump administration deported him 28 minutes later.
Officials blamed “administrative errors.” It’s the fourth known case of an improper deportation by the Trump administration.
