ICE is still doing checkpoints in Minneapolis like we are an occupied territory. Life remains really hard here thanks to Trump's thugs.

Living in Minnesota right now means getting your heart broken every day, multiple times a day. Some days it also means having your faith in humanity restored. Please keep watching Minnesota, if you live elsewhere. Things are still dire.

i would like to note that an unprecedented occupation of a city sounds like an extraordinary and unusual circumstance to me. i'd also like to throw schumer out of the party

Democrats Ease Up On 1 Of Their Biggest ICE Demands
Masks might still be OK in "extraordinary and unusual circumstances," Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said.

If they said 3,000 agents were leaving MN today, I would not fully rejoice. Because those 3,000 would be headed elsewhere.
I don’t want them kidnapping ANYONE. I don’t want them breaking up ANY families.
I don’t want those 700 headed off to destroy other families!
Abolish ICE is the floor.

i guess, personally, i'd rather not take it to the election to find out how bad things can get
Bluesky is that special place where someone will take time out from serialposting about how ICE can never defeat one mid sized midwesern city to post about how ICE is going to commandeer every voting booth in the US and all is lost

I didn't think much about this post at first but Christine just said out loud "Balloon Fight but the screen is really big and it gets smaller and smaller over time" and wait, wait, so like PUBG/Fortnite, that's a really good idea

My tiny, rural, almost all white #DFL caucus mentioned the Nuremberg Trials several times.
If my caucus was any sort of indication, national Dems really need to wake the fuck up about what voters want them to do about ICE.

One by one, Europeans mentioned in the Epstein files who still hold political office are beginning to resign or are being forced out of office.
Meanwhile, ruled by an administration almost entirely made up of Epstein associates, the US carries on as if nothing really happened.

Naah, I want them on trial.
Democrats want commonsense reform for ICE:
End the roving patrols and racial profiling.
Take accountability and abide by the same rules as local police.
Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.

We have enough evidence for UBI in general that this policy should be a given. But the difference is, to understand UBI works is to believe that people are fundamentally good. And a big chunk of society is built around the belief, *must maintain the belief* that people are fundamentally bad.
"By the end of the two-year period, 94% of participants reported they were housed."
A million pilot programs show the same thing: when people are given enough money to afford housing, homelessness ends.
Other supports matter, but housing comes first. Not policing. Not moralizing. Homes.

Anyway the real heroes of Minnesota are the countless volunteers doing boring shifts where nothing happens. The mom of three delivering food to 40 families in her kids’ school. The dad standing at the door of an elementary with a whistle for hours. The drivers endlessly looping, seeing nothing.
