Got in literal screaming fights with my dad in 2016
A lot of people predicted, based on his past actions & stated beliefs, that Trump would go full Hitler if nobody stopped him. We were called hysterical and told to calm down.
BIG news from @bloomberg.com, which confirms that ICE has gone ahead and *purchased* multiple commercial warehouses with the aim of converting them into mass detention camps.
This is likely to be the big detention story of 2026 — literal warehousing of people.

As a SoCal raised kid, Minnesota was one of the most welcoming places I’ve ever experienced. Snowmobiles, sushi, Thai food, samosas, hot dish from the neighbors, it was so much more metropolitan than what I expected.
Yeah, it has its regressive parts, but the cities are the American dream.

This again is why Minnesota is nucleus of repression and the resistance. This largely white place - far from the "coastal elites" - has the nerve to attempt true multi-racial democracy, enacting progressive policies, having highest voting participation and quality of life indicators. How dare they.

Based in Minnesota, @minnmax.com usually covers games, but lately its creators have had to dip their toes into talking about what ICE is doing to their neighbors as well. At this point, they don't really have a choice. @yozetty.bsky.social explains:

I'm a resident of the Twin Cities. A small team and I spent 3 days sculpting this for a competition/festival in extremely cold temperatures. We were disqualified for political messaging and one of the organizers defaced it. I have no regrets and I have never been more proud to be Minnesotan. (cont)

It was SO cold but the sense of community was overwhelming. Every corner had people handing out hand warmers, warm drinks, and snacks to protestors. My toes were numb and my lashes were frosty but it's nothing compared to the pain our immigrant neighbors are enduring. MN Strong 💙

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi.
He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael.
At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk.
Wael died on Friday at age 30.
ICE caused his death.
They didn’t get to say goodbye.
