I think the democrats who repeatedly funded the organization of her killer (he’d been in ICE for a while) and have advocated for harsher border policy, a militarized police and a lethal military abroad have more responsibility than people whose red line was genocide but your thing is neat too

Whatever you do, don’t take the bait and throw a stapler at an ICE agent

Another common thread between Chicago and Minneapolis enduring these occupations:
Another thing you should know about the Twin Cities, if you're not here, is that while the mayor and governor tell us to stay calm on TV, our council members and other local electeds are on the street patrolling and protecting neighbors, doing mutual aid, and otherwise serving the community.

State investigators have been on the scene in North Minneapolis.
I know you’re angry. I’m angry. What Donald Trump wants is violence in the streets.
But Minnesota will remain an island of decency, of justice, of community, and of peace.
Don’t give him what he wants.

I think the reason we have not seen Frey, Her, and Walz change their orientations on exercising the use of state policing power to repel the federal occupation is that to do so would be to admit the State Patrol, National Guard, MPD, SPPD, et al., are de facto not actually under their command.

No! The criticism of the Dems isn't that they never win elections, it's that they don't use power to solve the problems that got us here. Elite impunity, concentration of wealth, the unitary executive. Winning is only step 1
New - Chuck Schumer to haters: “The answer to these critics is to win. If we win back the Senate, that will answer every question"
Peltola “was the last piece to the puzzle"
He says Dem path to Senate is Ohio, Alaska, Maine and NC. Dems are watching Texas/Iowa

The minority leader took an Al Davis-style approach as he sat down with Semafor: “The answer to these critics is to win.”

This kind of approach is how abolish the police turned into reduce police budgets. Any democrat who runs on abolishing ice is most likely lying about it so theres zero percent chance someone running to the right of that will actually do it
i think the public-facing message re: ICE needs to be something like “let’s pump the brakes and investigate these bad apples” and then you take power and wipe the whole thing out

Any democrat who even has the desire to run for office fundamentally buys into the fantasy of law and order. We’re so far beyond asking ourselves what is in our legal capacity to stop Trump. The question is what is in our *physical* capacity to stop Trump.
The Trump Justice Department is corrupt and illegitimate.
There is zero basis to criminally target Fed Chair Jay Powell.
America will not be intimidated.

It’s easy to think that schools in Minneapolis are closed because the Feds murdered someone in the street but no, the actual reason is that while that was happening, the Feds were busy doing other heinous shit across the city like tear-gassing a school
“The move came after officials at Roosevelt High School said armed U.S. Border Patrol officers came on school property during dismissal Wednesday and began tackling people, handcuffed two staff members and released chemical weapons on bystanders.” — www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...
