Trump: "MN is a very corrupt place & the elections are totally corrupt. I feel I won it all 3 times. Nobody has won it since Richard Nixon. It's a rigged state. The Somalians vote as one group even if they're not citizens. They all ought to get the hell out of here. They're bad for our country"

I’ve seen a lot in my 26 years teaching in Saint Paul but today’s the first no school day due to the city being terrorized by the federal government

I cannot express how it makes me feel to see my Minneapolis neighbors living every day in the line of fire, risking injury, imprisonment, and death at the hands of a tyrant, while these soft, empty suits prance around at Davos and hope that if they pretend hard enough he’ll go away.

It's all true. I am lucky that my girls are not old enough for school yet. Just think of the children.
Saint Paul Public Schools, one of the biggest school districts in the state, is closed for the next two days because teachers need time to build hybrid learning because unaccountable masked, armed federal government goons have made it too difficult for nonwhite children to leave their homes.

I am not exaggerating when I say ICE functions as a terrorist organization in the Twin Cities. The goal seems to be to harass and frighten people (the ones who are lucky enough to not be abducted, at least) and it's deeply unsettling when you learn they're in your neighborhood.

Trump: "Our country is doing very well. We have many many buildings opening, factories opening. We've never had anything like it. And I think you're going to see results very soon."

as it always is, part of the trump problem is that describing his behavior in plain language makes you sound like you should be on a 72 hour hold

Meanwhile its 16th largest metropolitan area is occupied by unaccountable armed masked paramilitaries who are disappearing neighbors as part of a federal government-led ethnic cleansing campaign that has ground all social and economic life almost to a complete halt.
We are watching one of the wildest things a nation-state has ever done: A superpower is committing suicide because the GOP Congress is too cowardly to stand up to the Mad King.

This is one of the wildest moments in all of geopolitics ever.

Mine is "I'm an American citizen; you work for me, bitch!" or something to that effect.
People have asked me if I am worried about being brutalized by ICE, and every morning I steel myself to respond with this if some dipshit agent asks me for my ID.
Too online guy mentally preparing himself to yell “You're not God or my father or my boss!” if questioned by ICE.

It’s really too bad that Trump’s cabinet are all spineless worms or equally crazy because “the President has gone insane and is going to destroy the transatlantic alliance because they didn’t give him a Nobel Peace Prize” is kind of exactly the thing we have a 25th Amendment for

This is the sort of thing that a person who is legitimately medically and psychologically unwell writes. We all joke about Trump's brain melting, but he is quite literally a sick person and his continued grip on power represents a clear and present danger to the entire world.

People here are outside patrolling their neighborhoods in this, trying to keep their neighbors safe from lawless armed masked goons. Armed with whistles and vests, they are essentially fighting a war against their own government and its ethnic cleansing campaign.

Victor Manuel Diaz was kidnapped from Minneapolis. He was my neighbor and he died in an American concentration camp. He was not "illegal," he was a human being made in the image of the divine. May his memory be a blessing, and may the rest of us fight like hell until we stop this brutality.
This is the sixth death in ICE custody in 18 days. This isn’t enforcement, it’s a system that cages people, outsources care, and shrugs when they die. Abolish ICE.

>the president has gone certifiably batshit insane and is deploying airborne brigades to U.S. cities to support his secret police while starting multiple conflicts and creating a crisis to annex the territory of an ally at the same time he’s renaming multiple government buildings after himself

This would bring me great pleasure, too. We third amendment enthusiasts have been waiting for this.
If troops get put on my street, every day I am going to go down and let them know that if they’re feeling cold, they cannot quarter in my house.

ICE and MAGA really did bet the farm on all of Minneapolis’s white people going “oh yes, please take away our disgusting, evil non-white-foreigner neighbors, oh thank you so much.”

it’s beautiful that they’ve been proven incredibly wrong about that - may the rest of the country do the same.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.
