"ICE has made the classic Nazi mistake. They've invaded a winter people in the winter."
I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

While it made it as far as dress rehearsal, Tommy Brennan's Weekend Update desk bit on Trump's ICE deployments in his home state of Minnesota did not make it to SNL broadcast.

But they've made it available anyway. And you should watch it.

One court decision, two different headlines.

Guardian on the left, NY Times on the right. Which one more directly conveys information and the stakes to the reader?

Some very disturbing news in the Renee Good case: We’re now learning that the FBI actually opened a civil rights investigation into the shooter—ICE agent Jonathan Ross. But DOJ quickly shut it down. This is a coverup at the highest levels. youtube.com/shorts/9gb1k...

This is so disgusting. The Hmong refugees were legally naturalized as U.S. citizens long ago. ICE is just wantonly abusing minorities.

I think a good strategy for your non-leftist social media presence (ie everywhere but here) is to give this photo - the remains of Danish soldiers returning in coffins after being killed in America's war in Afghanistan - as wide an audience as possible. Remind people who we're betraying

The statute of limitations for violations of federal law is 5 years.

Your photographs, videos, and livestreams can be used as evidence in future cases.

"The only way to keep the space from imploding is to fill it, to prop up the walls: to claim all the room there still is for speaking, writing, publishing, protesting, voting. It's what the people of MN appear to be doing, and it's something each of us needs to do — right now, while we still can."
