According to a Minneapolis public schools employee, ICE is blocking their food distribution center such that the trucks can’t get out to deliver lunches to the schools.

It’s painfully obvious these goons have no idea what they’re doing. And they’ve learned nothing in the past week.

Imagine going to a doctor’s appointment and all hell breaks loose. They cut your seatbelt, and yank you out of your car.

Why is any of this necessary?

My Stop the Presses newsletter calls for a dramatic change of tactics by major media to produce "radically truthful” news that defeats the right-wing disinformation industry. Right now, the media are getting slam-dunked by fascist liars. Here’s a thread with my 10 main points. 🧵🧵🧵
How to build a radically truthful news outlet
The old ways don’t work. Time to declare war on the liars.

Trump, ICE and white supremacists don't have the numbers.

That makes them reckless, violent and more desperate.

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.

MAGA doesn't just want "remigration." It also wants "recolonization" and "rechristianization." Clarifying @aselrod.bsky.social piece on MAGA's "theocratic" worldview blending "new age fascism and manosphere toxicity masquerading as a return to ancient wisdom."

In MN this is what I’ve seen: ICE shot a mom in the face, beat and dragged a pregnant woman resulting in a miscarriage, beat an elderly woman and broke her hands and ribs, tackled students being dismissed from class, arrested teenagers at their after school jobs. ICE in Minneapolis are pussies!!

yeah they’re just grabbing random people at bus stops there is absolutely no attempt to even give the pretense that this is about immigration anymore. it is absolutely just a military occupation
Not an exaggeration at all to say that the feeling in Minneapolis is that the entire metro area is being treated as occupied territory by federal agents. Impossible to overstate how overwhelmingly people here do not like it. This does not feel sustainable.

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."

The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"

"Learned what?" she asks

“Russia has not just transferred children from Ukrainian orphanages to Russian camps; it has also taken kids whose relatives want them back. The Times noted that the abductees number in the “thousands,” and concluded: “This mass transfer of children is a potential war crime.”
SCOOP --> Trump's State Department quietly terminated a contract that was in the process of transferring evidence of Russian abductions of Ukrainian kids to European law enforcement, two sources familiar with the situation tell me.

The fate of abducted Ukrainian children is a white-hot issue for peace negotiations—and it looks like the State Department may have just undercut the cause.
