I have been told that this undercover ICE agent tried to get observers to scan a QR code “for his website”. The QR code did not resolve to a link.
DO NOT SCAN UNKNOWN QR CODES FROM STRANGERS.
This is a massive security risk! Bad things can happen to you if you do it!
Stay frosty, friends.

Every day some story breaks me some. Today it’s the guy who approached parents at a school patrol, told them he was with Indivisible, and asked about how the patrol system works. The parents gave vague answers, followed him back to his car — and of course it was ICE.

🧪 Russel Vought wants to kill the #NIH, in a slow, sneaky way. The NIH appropriations include language that allows multi-year funding of grants. No 40% cut.
Yay. No.
Allowing multi-year funding allows fewer grants will be funded. This toxic compromise will kill science.
We deserve better.

If we continue to compromise with people whose stated goal is to destroy NIH, then we will not be successful in saving it.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

ICE is a secret police force. No warrants. No courts. No lawyers. And no appeals. People vanish in the night, not because they broke the law, but because the law no longer means anything. The knock on the door is the sentence.

This is exactly why you CAN'T let anyone off the hook. Including voters. They KNOW it's wrong and always knew it was wrong to vote for Trump and now we're gonna show em grace so they can vote for Vance or Rubio or whatever comes next? Foh
New polling data shows that it's getting increasingly embarrassing to identify as a Republican, and some Trump voters are slinking away and pretending it never happened.

2/ When Jesus accused some people of making the Temple a “den of thieves” he was t saying “this is where you do the stealing”. The den was where the thieves hid their loot.
Jesus was arguing against using religion as a mask- hiding cruelty, violence and injustice behind a veneer of piety.

It's cool that these guys just use pepper spray casually now, against people who are wholly within their rights, without a moment's hesitation. Several shots of them using it as they climb into their cars and drive away, not even a pretense of urgency or need. Just a parting "fuck you" to them.
This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.
