I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

I don't think most reporting will to cover the scope of how people are fighting back until this is over. A good number of people are doing things that don't involve going outside and a very significant number ain't publicly saying shit about who they're helping and how

You and I are watching protests and babies being tear gassed on social media.
They are not.
And part of that is because the media they consume - like the NYT - isn't really showing it.

This is another major failure of Merrick Garland and the Biden Department of Justice.
We MUST reform DOJ to prosecute rich people again if we want to have a country.

The House Ethics Committee found that Matt Gaetz did all of the horrible things previously claimed—sex trafficking minors, prostitution (including of minors), drugs, drunk driving, obstruction, the works. The Florida Bulldog has secured and published the House report this evening.

I try to help a lot of people in various places. But I’m really fucking sick of this exchange:
OP: thing doesn’t work it’s crap
me: did you read the doc? It says it doesn’t do that thing
OP: AI says it does
me: stop posting slop
OP: but I said it was from AI
Read the fucking manual.

There is going to come a time in your life when you are chatting with a guy, at a barbecue or something, a new coworker maybe, a dad at school drop off, and he tells you he used to be in ICE. You’re going to need to spit on that guy

In 2018, the tipping point on Trump’s child separation was the recording of that little girl trying to get back to her family as other kids sobbed around her. This should be a similar one. Kidnapping a 5-year-old to use as bait to catch his family is truly sick, neo-Nazi stuff.

Something that should be motivating squeamish congressional Democrats is that if people don't see help coming, this kind of resistance is going to escalate pretty drastically
Border Patrol agents are very sad that everyone in Minnesota hates them.
“At each gas station where the agents stopped to use the restroom, groups of agitators appeared, yelled at them, stalked them, and even tried to prevent law enforcement vehicles from leaving…”

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

yeah this is not the last time this is going to happen, I have full faith an ICE/CBP lug will end up in an altrecation or arrest a professional athlete in a way that damages them even further with apolitical types
San Francisco Giants outfielder Jung Hoo Lee was detained Wednesday evening at Los Angeles International Airport, his agent Scott Boras told the Chronicle.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.
