“Minneapolis, I have been watching over you this difficult month, while ICE agents occupy us and kill us… I have never been prouder to stand among you and to belong to this community.“

Brad Tabke is a real one in every sense. I've only been able to speak with him a couple times in person but I think the people of Shakopee are lucky to have him.
right wingers have been very mad at rep brad tabke for openly helping ICE resistance and everything they share just makes him look cool as hell
and don’t forget he won this seat by only 14 votes!

iPods are great and I have some in the tech collection but I love using Android phones for this kind of thing because you can also use Bluetooth alongside wired. I use a dongle on occasion for my S22 but thinking about purchasing an older S10 in part to have a headphone jack
I found my old iPod and I’ve ordered a PS Vita. It’s all part of experimenting with how I use digital technology in 2026.
On top of my update, find plenty of great reads from the past month in the January recap.

Caucus was good but I'm home now with the regret that I didn't straight up say Abolish ICE in my resolution (wasn't fully certain that was within the bounds of a resolution since I had never been to a caucus) but I am glad I got to say we should convict killings done under DHS

i think this is a key thing that makes "abolish ICE and undo DHS" good policy in and of itself
these killers are not fresh recruits, they're just existing guys who got the go ahead to be vicious thugs and pounced on the opportunity

Both of the agents responsible for killing Alex Pretti were hired long before the current surge where “training” could be a culprit.
The rot in Border Patrol and DHS at large runs very deep. There has to be a reckoning soon where we look at what we’ve created and how we got here /

BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

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.

thank god this guy didnt appoint Homan or anything that would be embarrassing
More and more Americans are voicing their outrage at the tactics being deployed by federal agents in Minnesota. But it’s important to understand the broader implications of what this administration is doing, and the threat it poses to the basic freedoms of every American.

you do not under any circumstances have to give Tom Homan the benefit of the doubt
"I'm gonna give Homan the benefit of the doubt"
"They should coordinate with local law enforcement, pick these people up in the middle of the night when they're not suspecting it"
Walz is capitulating to fascists and encouraging night raids. Genuinely disgusting. Why would anyone settle for this?

ICE killing #AlexPretti should remind you of police killing #PhilandoCastille. Both men had concealed weapon permits, did not draw their guns, & were killed in Minn. These homicides are the price of unaccountable policing. These deaths are variations on the same fatal theme.
