Oh. So they’re not leaving. Okay then. (As if we expected them to leave, to begin with. 🙄)
Homan on Minnesota: "There will be a small force, a security force, that will respond when our agents are out and get surrounded by agitators. They will remain for a short period of time to make sure the coordination, the agreements we have with local and state law enforcement stay in place."

Please don't think anything is back to normal in Minnesota. Nothing is normal.
I know we’re strong. Don’t know if it’s enough.
If you don't live here, your Minnesota friends may tell you that it's going to be okay but I think a lot of that is them being nice so you won't worry.
It's bad here.

If you thought this paradigm was going to last 30-90 days and then end and now, at day 72, you’re realizing the fallout is actually an indefinitely permanent paradigm, it makes sense you went super hard at a pace that is unsustainable.
Recalibrate now before you’re hurtling into the concrete floor.

I’m seeing more and more Minneapolis/Minnesota people naming that they are burned out and I just hope people allow themselves to change their pacing from sprint to marathon or better yet, a relay.
Slow down if the alternative is you crashing out and not being able to do anything.

I’ve never met Ian but I know people who have, and I trust that he is doing this all on the up-and-up!
We now have a $5000 match offer from an anonymous donor! In coordination with standwithminnesota.com and with your help, we’re going to pay rent for as many Minneapolis immigrant families in need as possible. I will post receipts!

Okay, sure, but also, Musk has direct control over who has access to use StarLink? And he has been authorized to greatly expand the fleet? This feels dystopic, for some reason.

Remember when folks were all up in arms because they couldn't post *ism on social media, and claimed it was a free speech issue.
Free speech violations are when the GOVERNMENT punishes you for your speech.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Just glance at Minnesota to see where this leads.

here's something I haven't seen many talk about:
Deaf people in MN are terrified of leaving the house. ICE gives verbal commands & expects verbal compliance. They can't even read their lips because of the stupid masks. They're afraid they'll be shot for not following an order they can't hear.

The LRAD truck I discovered (same plate) last July outside Minnesota State Capitol is being used for 1st time (AFAIK) in MN tonight against protesters.
Terrifying sonic weapon.
Fed court (2nd Cir) ruled using LRAD on non violent protesters can be considered 14A violation, excessive force

Wow look, the same truck I saw them ready to deploy at 26th and Nicollet. Bring ear protection and remember to move to the side, then away from the beam if they deploy it on you.
