More information from the guy whose car had smoke grenades and other stuff thrown in it. The baby's heart stopped and EMS was called to the scene. Yeah, ICE may have almost killed a 6 month old baby yesterday

Elon Musk's DOGE was not a failure - for the people behind Elon. Sure, it cut no costs and ruined Elon's reputation, but it exfiltrated data from every federal agency and delivered it to Peter Thiel's Palantir, which then created the app ICE agents are using to target immigrant neighborhoods. 1/
“It’s basically a map of the United States. It’s kind of like Google Maps.” This is how an ICE agent described the app Palantir worked on for finding neighborhoods to raid.
I've seen the interface, it does look exactly like that www.404media.co/elite-the-pa...

“Dear media, I can’t stand the headline "No agreement between the US and Denmark” any longer. If an armed man storms a bank, you don't run the headline: "Robber and cashier can't reach an agreement on money transfer." Stop framing imperial aggression as normal diplomacy.”

Liebe Medien, ich kann die Schlagzeile "Keine Einigung zwischen USA und Dänemark" nicht mehr sehen. Wenn ein Bewaffneter eine Bank stürmt, titelt ihr doch auch nicht: "Räuber und Kassiererin finden keinen Konsens über Geldübergabe." Hört auf, imperiale Aggression als normale Diplomatie zu framen.

My daughter's school in Richfield, MN (adjacent to Minneapolis) is closing tomorrow due of out-of-control federal agents. Fourth graders spent the week building walls of snow at recess to protect their classmates from ICE. This isn't about immigration enforcement, it's about terror.

BREAKING: A North Minneapolis bystander is speaking out after witnessing tonight’s ICE-involved shooting. He was on the street when federal agents fired, wounding a man in the leg. This isn’t secondhand.

It is hard to explain institutional collapse to voters; videos where state actors are clearly acting in abusive ways explain themselves.
This is incredible: 81% of working class and 83% of young voters have seen video of Renee Good's killing, per new data I've obtained. Majority of working class disapproves of ICE enforcement. ICE brutality is breaking through big time.

Does anybody ever met a paid protestor? Is this something you can put on your tax return? Is it a cash under the table thing? What is the interview process like? How much does it pay, and is it worth getting tear gassed and assaulted for the salary? What about health insurance? Pension?
"You're seeing a lot of paid protesters" -- Rep. Mike Haridopolos's attempt to defend ICE's tactics in Minneapolis during a CNN panel discussion this morning did not go well. Bad used car salesman vibes.

MAGA CBS puts out this “story” which contains only 2 anonymous “US govt” sources and no other info and it is subsequently used by every right-winger to try and justify their narrative. Exactly how Trump, Vance, Carr, Ellison, and Weiss want the network to operate.
