Lot of folks relieved to have an excuse to trust police again and meanwhile I have to wonder if I'm being too conspiratorial by thinking "is this guy telling people to call 911 specifically so fewer people call Monarca?"

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’
This is so disgusting.

Evil.
There is no sight that more efficiently puts the lie to immigration “court” than the common sight of children “representing themselves.” Children too small to climb into the chair, children in pajamas who don’t know where they are, children not yet old enough to speak.

Twin Cities- it’s day 6 of the federal occupation.

Today’s assignment:

1. Keep defending our neighbors. We are hearing inspiring stories every day of abductions disrupted.

2. Check on your neighbors who may be terrified.

3. Spend some money in an immigrant owned business.

The billionaires want you to be mad that your tax dollars support the hungry, homeless, sick & poor

They don’t want you to think about the corporate tax cuts for the wealthy, the billions sent to Argentina, given to ICE or spent on war

They want us to blame each other so they can keep getting rich

To my Somali friends and neighbors: I see you. I hear you. And I will fight like hell for you.

And to those who are silent: I see you, too. I hear you, too. And I will never forget how you chose to be complacent when members of our community were under attack.

i'm real sick of people not in minneapolis trying to give chief o'hara some sort of credit for an ultimately meaningless statement

the things the MPD has sworn are policy and then either didn't follow or just blatantly contradicted could fill a world book encyclopedia

ICE agents abducted a father in front of the Richfield Best Buy building and just left his kids in the minivan. Richfield cops took them inside a nearby restaurant to wait for the kid’s family to pick them up. Not entirely sure if RPD was working with ICE or not but a shit situation either way.

What's the likelihood established local news never reports on this?
