This is beyond regular policing, beyond immigration enforcement, beyond racial profiling. This is ethnic cleansing. It’s legit Nazi shit.
"“They specifically asked me if I knew where the Hmong families lived on my street & in the neighborhood.” Lugert-Thom responded, “I don’t know anything about that” & she said they then asked, “Well, what about the Asian families?”"

It’s also murder, kidnapping, assault, deprivation of rights under color of law, and a bunch of other crimes. Yeah, scaring people, but in ways that are completely out of bounds and should land them in prison in short order. Starts by detaining them, then arresting, charging, trying, sentencing.

Sen. Kevin Cramer: "Maybe the point should be if you're the attorney for Jay Powell and you want to avoid an indictment, how about you go to Jeanine Pirro and say, 'I'll make a deal. I'll step down today if you drop the investigation today.' To me, that would be a win win for everybody."

Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

When you see a kidnapping in progress, report it, like this:
911: What’s your emergency?
You: It looks like somebody is being kidnapped
911: What’s is your location?
You: [location]
911: Are you in danger?
You: I don’t think so
911: What’s your emergency?
You: It looks like somebody is being kidnapped
911: What’s is your location?
You: [location]
911: Are you in danger?
You: I don’t think so
That’s not something a dispatcher should be telling anyone. Their job is to take the call and send the units, let officers make that determination.

ICE just indiscriminately stopped a citizen at a bus stop in front of the co-op. If this is how they treat the President of the Minneapolis City Council who is legally observing, just think of what they’re doing to everyone else in our City.

Also a great way to money launder.
Eric Adams, former NYC mayor, launched a memecoin (cryptocurrency) today. He marketed it as an “NYC Token” and used media appearances and his social media to promote it.
Within hours, Adams then drained its liquidity, apparently having scammed investors out of $3.4 million—a move called a rug pull.
