Two ICE flights (with 127 and 47 deportees loaded) at MSP today, along with a USCG C-130 that brought in more DHS personnel from Louisiana, and the Air Force C-40 that brought in the congressional delegation that was denied access to visit the ICE detention facility at Whipple.

Like 12 years ago my friend sent me this picture from his work and it immediately, permanently changed the name of this utensil in my head. The bytes were fully overwritten. I don’t remember the former name of this item and frankly I don’t care

local/state law enforcement will not save you from a tyrannical federal government
Minnesota’s Fraternal Order of Police released a statement that it “stands with ICE”.
They have no intention of arresting anyone that isn’t a civilian

Not a novel observation, obviously, but these guys sincerely love to threaten and put their hands on women.
A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."
The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

Three Members of Congress showed up to inspect the actions of federal officers in their state and the federal officers drew their weapons?
JUST NOW: Huge mass of agents in a standoff, weapons drawn as Reps. Ilhan Omar, Angie Craig, and Kelly Morrison attempt to conduct congressional oversight at the Whipple Building, which has been HQ for thousands of ICE agents.

Road report:
-I haven't done anything on Xitter since Nov 2024.
-Via someone's account, recently trawled through the main news feed.
It actually is shocking. Between the Grok-generated sexploitation, and white-supremacist cheerleading, that's most of the feed.
No "real" org should be there.

Wind, solar, & batteries represent 95% of ALL of the new electricity capacity that came online in the U.S. last year.
Electricity demand is skyrocketing because of AI and the government is restricting supply & making building renewables illegal to build in the U.S.

It’s fun, talent & crew love me, and I am good at keeping quiet about it until the episode debuts. Eg the RHoBH visit Sedona episode came out last night.

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.
In the video that the shooter took, which I believe was leaked to be exculpatory, he appears to yell “fucking bitch” after he shoots Renee Good.

as a reminder, these flights typically operate with no ADS-B and sometimes no transponder to avoid showing up on flight tracking sites, even as TIS-B targets
