"Golden snake with gold eyes and a super super-duper long tail," welcome to The War on Cars.
From @acyn.bsky.social (posted on X)

"Reporter: Do any of you have a favorite animal?

Child: My favorite one is a gold snake that can move. It has gold eyes, and it has a super-duper tail…

Reporter: Mr. Mamdani, the second question for you.

Mamdani: Yes. It’s also the golden snake."

Incredible thread. They are a lawless agency. I mean we already knew that, but goodness they are so completely out of control
If you want to read the transcript of the February 3 hearing where Julie Le had her "this job sucks" meltdown, now you can:

This is unreal. An AUSA talking like that in open court is about as close as you can come to a total breakdown. Never heard of anything like it.

DFL legislators need to insist on a compensation fund of tens of millions of dollars to offset economic harms of the ICE siege. It infuriates me that Mercado Central has to hold a $500,000 bake sale to hold onto their building. Tens of fucking millions.

Just yesterday, the Hennepin County Sheriff brutalized our neighbors who were simply standing outside the Whipple Federal Building. Law enforcement should never assault and pepper spray our residents. 3/

Has the organization of Save Our Street, the rich NIMBYs who want to stop the Summit Avenue bike lane, said anything about the church they hold their meetings in being led by the director of the local ICE field office?

Among other demands for lawmakers to make is that Palantir and every executive be blacklisted from ever working with the government forever
There was, in MN, a palpable, constant sense of fear that could even feel like paranoia from people engaged in civil resistance. Here’s why:

Pro tip for any Hill journos, the Speaker can approve 24hr protection for Members who are under heightened threat. Omar used to have this, but Mike Johnson took it away. You should ask him about that

This excerpt from @adamserwer.bsky.social's latest points to something that Alex Pretti's vocation as a nurse brought to mind: What we're seeing in Minneapolis is resistance, but resistance based on care.

I've said before that what we need is a care economy. What we're getting is a care resistance.

When will it be enough for you, @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social ? When will you be moved? You should be standing in the streets of Minneapolis. You should be shouting from the rooftops. What a pathetic pair of cowards.

This has to stop! MINIMUM demands at this point:
- ICE out of Minnesota now
- arrest and charge the shooters, those associated
- no more funding for ICE, associated depts
- abolish ICE, reallocate funding to real needs
- shut down the government to do so, halt tax payments to do so

He was already on the ground. This is government-sponsored sadism. That is, Trump-sponsored sadism.
This video filmed by Ben Luhmann shows the moment a federal agent sprayed chemical irritants directly into a man's face in south Minneapolis.

Three agents already had the man pinned to the ground when a fourth agent walked up and sprayed the irritants.
