Good job, Minnesota, standing up to fascism!
Nice try to distract us, Evil Yam, but we don't have dementia. We can actually hold 2+ concepts in our brain at once. Now RELEASE THE FILES
(you thought we got distracted, didn't you? aw, that's cute, believing that we were as mentally slow as you were)

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

To be fair, they would have known all about this before, if only they hadn't banned all of the books that talked about women's bravery and their ability to manage logistics to overcome fascism....
Like I'm sorry that these events all read like a didactic feminist novel but that's not my fault

I'm hazy on my history, but I don't recall the Allies recommending that they "retrain" the SS who murdered citizens, the Gestapo that ripped people from their homes, and the Nazi guards who pushed people into special showers.
You cannot train the evil out of some people. It's embedded in their DNA.

They raid churches. They abduct people. They abduct children. They use children to abduct other people. They shot a woman in the face. They tear-gassed a car of children.

Good job ICE, capturing a devoted father and caregiver. ICE also managed to kill this man's son. Wouldn't even let the man out to attend his son's funeral. There really is no limit to the cruelty
Begging you not to let Wael’s Tarabishi’s story get lost amidst all the horrors.
He was a 30 year old disabled man. His dad was his full time caregiver.
ICE took his dad away.
Wael said it would kill him. He said the fear was “real & immediate”.
He died last week. ICE killed Wael.

People are right to be incensed, but there are more names to uplift. ICE killed an immigrant man named Silverio Villegas González in Chicagoland. He had children. Victor Manuel Diaz was kidnapped in Minneapolis and died in ICE custody on January 14. Their names deserve to be repeated, too.

The most important public health story right now in America is that the Trump administration is executing people in the streets, it is kidnapping people of all ages, including 2-year-olds, it is torturing them, & it is putting them in concentration camps where many have been killed or “disappeared”

This statement is stunning. It's calm, objective, speaks truth to power, and in between the lines you can also read the terror. I hope this witness is protected from the evil, unhinged ICE goons who need to be stopped right now.
The eye witness to the murder of Alex Pretti is now hiding from ICE.
An affidavit signed by her details her observation of the #ICEGestapo murder.

Look, if you're so ashamed of your job that you need to physically hide your face bc you are terrified of people finding out -- then you absolutely know deep down that you have chosen a terrible job and that you are a terrible person.
You deserve to be held responsible, visible in the light of day

Yesterday, I drove refugees that had been shipped off to Texas all the way back home to St. Paul
Seeing them reunite with their families reminded me this is their home.
So keep sending them to Texas. I’ll keep driving ‘em back and introducing them to Bucc-ee’s and KC barbecue along the way.

So we're clear, this is kidnapping. It is a crime. The people who committed this crime should be fired and go to jail.

Senate Dems are going to fully fund ICE if they agree to more body cameras.
And that, boys and girls, is why the republic is crumbling.
We do NOT need more video of ICE atrocities! We have plenty.
We need to STOP the atrocities, PERIOD!
Defund ICE or go to hell.
That is all.

Those files must be REAL interesting if he's this scared to release them
Since Congress passed a law requiring Trump to release the Epstein Files, Trump has:
- Tried to start a war with NATO over Greenland
- Threatened to use the military to suppress free speech in Minnesota
- Illegally withheld 99% of the files and heavily redacted the ones that were released
