They literally dragged a minor employee out of a Target as he was wailing that he was a US citizen, roughed him up in their car, and then dropped him off bloodied and bruised in the freezing cold a couple of miles away, so miss us with this.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

”Provocative” is like “intellectual.” If other people use it to describe you, maybe you are. If you use it to describe yourself, you’re more likely just an asshole.

Always remember THEY DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH GUYS. In the realm of Online, they can just say things and have them treated as true. In the realm of Real Life, there are 115,000 polling places in America and DHS has like 15,000 dudes total.

This is unreal. An AUSA talking like that in open court is about as close as you can come to a total breakdown. Never heard of anything like it.

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

Watch this space: Last night, the President called VA ICU nurse Alex Pretti an ‘insurrectionist’. Meaning that he was a person who was engaged in violent uprising against an authority or government.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

This is why it’s so important to see all the video you can before making a judgement (looking at you DHS). Video appears to show the victim trying to protect another person & being pulled down by agents. There needs to be a credible investigation, not one by CBP/ICE www.reddit.com/r/minnesota/...

I have thought about this quote a lot recently.
“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

Important to understand social roles. “Quiet Piggy” is an acceptable thing to say to a journalist, but not a gang member.

Reminder that these kind of door-to-door “general warrants” are both explicitly illegal and also a major trigger for the American Revolution.
A video of ICE agents conducting door-to-door searches today in Minneapolis

The homeowner requests a warrant repeatedly, is told they don't require one, then is told they're getting it, then the agents storm in anyway

They also point a taser at her to try and disrupt filming

I have watched the video. I think you probably do not need to watch the video. it shows what you think it's gonna show in terms of lack of justification.
