We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

I think Americans are very Christian, actually. Because I find Americans very forgiving. Like, REALLY forgiving. EXTREMELY forgiving. More forgiving than Christ himself, because honestly Christ would be less forgiving than Americans right now. I feel like Americans are more Christ-like than Christ

It’s important for ICE officers to wear masks to stop people like … [checks note] … the DHS secretary from doxxing them.
Kristi Noem, herself, supplied the method used to ID the agent. She said he "been dragged by a vehicle” in an earlier incident.
@startribune.com reporters, who know their way around court records, quickly unearthed his name and confirmed his identity.

Seriously. I keep saying this: how are you all not rioting? You’ve got the gestapo on the streets disappearing people with no oversight and your rapist felon of a president is also a fucking pedophile who, along with his party which dominates your politics, is protecting a ring of other pedos.
This sucks but I think non-Americans being justifiably angry at Americans for what the American government is doing and threatening to do, and Americans experiencing that anger and frustration personally in ways that are unpleasant, is probably an important part of any path back to stability
