In light of today’s ongoing shittery — for example, a legal grocery deliverer detained in St. Paul archive.ph/9hXMT — take this ICE “guidance” as a PR exercise until proven real: www.reuters.com/world/ice-of...
Exclusive: ICE officers in Minnesota directed not to interact with 'agitators' in new orders
The new internal guidance reviewed by Reuters also orders U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers to only target immigrants who have criminal charges or convictions.

Things are terrible, but we need to be strategic right now.

Chicago martinis for me, but that’s a tacit acknowledgment of a blitz on 3rd down. Might go for it on 4th anyway.
i think first drink for me when it happens will be champagne, that's obvious, but i feel as though i need to script at least a couple plays deep for this one

As @jenniferkates.bsky.social reminds me, it was Dan McQuade who was at Hannibal Burress's October 2014 show at the Troc when he said “You rape women, Bill Cosby,” happened to be recording it, made it go viral, and from then on no one ever could forget or deny who Bill Cosby was.
Hannibal Buress on Bill Cosby: 'You're a Rapist'
Comedian Hannibal Buress called Bill Cosby a rapist in a bit at the Trocadero on Thursday night. Cosby has been accused of sexual assault by multiple women.

I'm outside the Jesse Brown VA in Chicago for the second second time this week, where once again hundreds of people have gathered for a vigil for Alex Pretti, who was executed by federal agents in Minneapolis.

Moriarty told Law Dork that no police departments have brought any cases to her office involving federal agents’ surge-related actions.

“They should be investigating as best they can .... I think there are choices that have to be made."

The U.S. Embassy in Denmark removed 44 Danish flags honoring Danish soldiers killed in Afghanistan outside the building, drawing outrage from the country’s veterans amid heightened tensions between Copenhagen and Washington.

Removal of flags for fallen Danish soldiers at U.S. Embassy sparks backlash
There was no malicious intent in removing the flags, said a State Department spokesperson, who added that the flags had been replaced.

That is correct. Trump has set a date to revoke Haitian protected status, and then set a date for the anti-Haitian pogrom to begin the next day.

ICE must go. Miller must go. Noem must go. Even Vance must go. Their ethnonationalist mania gets more violent every day and is going to destroy America.
This is a scheduled pogrom
I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio.

Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3.

Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.

Lots of pre-dooming about the concessions the Senate Dems might extract, but listen to Norm on this.
Honestly I think if the Dems could somehow win a mask ban for federal agents, I think it would be a huge start. The impunity these dipshits feel being masked up is palpable.

Don't know why this is making the rounds again, but it's from ~six weeks ago.
A retired Minneapolis couple who had guns pointed at them by ICE in a church parking lot.

"They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets."

"They had the professional demeanor of criminals."
