It’s been reported locally, but I’m not sure how much national notice this has gotten. As part of this invasion by shithead goons, they are putting ICE agents in jetbridges and other parts of the airport at Minneapolis-Saint Paul. If you are flying Delta via MSP, you are putting yourself at risk.

OK. The array of things Trump might try to do is incredibly broad, in a way that would seem very implausible just a year ago, because he is evil, demented, egotistical, and stupid: a comic-book tyrant. Similarly, the array of things his cultists would support is frighteningly broad.
