If you have a Ring camera, take a hammer to it.

The administration is relocating ICE agents to other parts of the country to see if they can achieve better results with the same tactics there.

If you're outside the Twin Cities, learn and replicate their model for resistance.

If you're in the Twin Cities, keep your networks intact and carry on.🖤

Almost everyone "on the left" doesn't have a problem with machine learning, or technology, or progress. They do have problems with security, safety, mental health outcomes, plagiarism, labor distributions, and environmental & energy impact.

Every word of this is a lie. And any news organization that quotes this without saying as much is failing its audience.
Homan: "ICE is a legitimate federal law enforcement agency. We're not out scouring the streets to disappear people or deny people their civil rights or due process."

There's tens of billions tied up in this. Thousands of blood profiteers will want a return on their investment. This just means they might be in your neighborhood next.
Tom Homan: “I have proposed, and President Trump has concurred, that this surge operation conclude…We will continue to enforce Title A immigration law throughout this nation…Those who say we are backing down from immigration enforcement or the promise of mass deportations, you are simply wrong.”

Remember, no matter how complicit Democrats are, they are helpless little babies, & we can’t blame them, even if Chuck Schumer approved EVERY Trump judicial nominee w/o question.
Why do Dems always have to act? Where the fuck are the usual coward useless fuck stained sons of cunt republicans? Like phony mike johnson or fuck stain john thune?

Sadly, we pile responsibility on Dems? Fuck that useless misplaced fucking 💩.

It isn't enough that the operation draws down here. This violent occupation cannot happen ANYWHERE. DHS is a lawless, unaccountable organization that needs to be dismantled and investigated. And every act of violence must be prosecuted.
Today, I am testifying in DC about what Operation Metro Surge is doing to the people of Minnesota.

Congress is supposed to oversee DHS. I'll demand that Congress does its job and reins in this lawless agency.

Minnesotans deserve safety without fear.

I would like the definitions of "small" and "footprint" please
Homan says the ICE drawdown in Minnesota is "already underway this week, and will continue into the next week."

A "small footprint" will remain, he says.

But Trump's ICE surge in Minneapolis is officially over.

no Elon, all experts agree the ideal close quarters weapon is a Sig P320, carried in a special holster configuration only used by special forces guys called "reverse appendix carry". If the barrel is pointed into your guts when holstered you're doing it right.

A reasonable discussion about AI would come to the conclusion that this tech is damaging to humanity in virtually every way a tech can be damaging.

But I'd rather have an emotional discussion and point out that this tech is shit made by assholes, and it stole from me, personally, so fuck it.

So DOD risked civilian airspace to obliterate some fucking balloons; when FAA found out and asked them to stop they refused; FAA did what it had to keep people safe; when the public rightly freaked out, DOD relented, lied, and blamed the FAA.

Sounds like Hegseth!

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

Hey @amyklobuchar.com, you do not even have to be original or bold. You can simply follow Ed here and you will be doing more for Minnesotans than you have at any other point during this siege.
It can be that simple.
I will not support any funding deal that puts money in the hands of Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and this violent agency. Defund and abolish ICE now.
