I agree, we should not be booing JD Vance and Marco Rubio.

We should be pelting them with rotten fruit before marching them to the Hague.

ICE is still in Minnesota. ICE is still breaking down glass windows and doors. ICE is still separating families. ICE is still targeting our neighbors who need to go to work because they cannot afford food, rent, and basic living expenses. 1/

Don't want this country to be "overrun" (distastefully said)?

Stop overthrowing democratic regimes in other countries. Start doing something about global warming.

For the record, I'm fine with open borders. Especially if this is the alternative. Fuck this.

The people who are saying shit like "well it's either this or the borders are totally open" are doing their best to convince America that we should have completely open borders.

Flash bangs and chemical weapons in a park, just feet from two playgrounds.

But don’t worry- MPD keeps telling us that ICE has pulled back on aggressive tactics and won’t break the law….
This morning, federal agents staged at the Powderhorn Park Recreation Center lot and began to throw chemical irritants at observers. They also kidnapped an observer. Our parks are meant for our children, youth, and neighbors. They should never be militarized zones meant to separate families. 1/

Y'all, we shipped ~45k whistles in December.

I think we shipped ~35k whistles TODAY.

We've heard that Ian Austin has also been arrested again, this time for...protesting at the church.

Everybody's First Amendment rights are at risk. Not just journalists. Everybody, everywhere.
Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him.

“When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

Even for the moment that we are in, arresting journalists on the ground is an extreme step and should be condemned by all.

The administration is now arresting journalists, an outcome so many had warned against, a clear before/after step in the authoritarian project; one that we should all recognize.

Judges have already ordered ICE to wear body cams and it doesn't stop them from lying and doing violence. The guy who shot Renee Good was literally filming himself doing it.

What do you mean "create a code of conduct" there already IS a code of conduct that prohibits murdering people who are not using violent force. It is called the US Constitution.

If that's not binding ICE, neither will your agreement.

We already have a warrant requirement. It's called the US Constitution. If that's not fucking binding them, what the hell does your little agreement mean?
Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said the party agreed on three main goals:

° Require warrants in some cases and ICE coordination with state and local law enforcement

° Create a code of conduct and enforce it

° Require agents to wear body cams and not masks

It’s day 59 of the ICE occupation of MSP.

Today brought a new onslaught of ice activity across the metro. Despite news accounts that rumored an end to the surge, we’re still seeing neighbors abducted every day.

What is this shit! "plz follow the law, as you are already obligated to do, and we will give you more money"

If you could enforce these deals for ICE not to do shit it's already not supposed to do, you could enforce the law right now.

If you can't, you should not support giving them more money!

“Parents should absolutely have the right to choose not to vaccinate” is not a pro-vaccine position. It’s the MAHA premise. It treats children as objects of parental choice rather than persons with independent claims to health.
The first time I remember praying for death I was 7 or 8 years old. The nuns said to offer my suffering up to Jesus. I had Crohn’s disease. Pediatric treatments existed, I never got them

But it happened in May 2023, when Biden was president.

So no, we don’t “reform immigration detention,” we destroy ICE, CBP, and DHS. We can’t reform this soul sickness.
