It's worth reminding each other every couple days that every delay you create, every horrible opportunity you deter means someone gets home to their family, might even mean someones actual life is saved. All of it is worth it.

Hello Governor,
While we're under siege here, it'd be a great time for you to use the emergency power to pause evictions. I know you can't actually do much, but you can do that. Thanks.

Keep seeing people say that if Tim Walz can thread the needle and handle this carefully if he has 2028 ambitions.
He'd be the undisputed nominee and would win in a fucking landslide if he were to direct the National Guard and state patrol to arrest every CBP and ICE thug by the end of the week.

Why would we leave? They're the ones that suck.
People worried for my safety asking earnestly if I think I want to move out of Minneapolis.
Hell no.
We stand our ground. Because it doesn’t stop with us. Infection spreads. You cannot run from it.

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
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

minneapolis is under siege and it is taking basically all of ICE’s manpower
they cannot replicate this across the country and they aren’t close to recruiting the kind of numbers they’d need to even get close
they are, flatly, not going to be able to get there

I just found out last night that the $50k enrollment bonus only pays out after 5 years of service, and reader, the laugh I let out when I read that woke the dog from across the house. These absolute fucking grapes aren't seeing a dime of that money. No way they can ride out 5 years of this job.

Do these look like "radical leftists"? No, they are regular people, scared and angry as they watch the country they love devolve into a fascist police state at the hand of truly radical right-wing extremists.
It is hard to believe things have come to this, but they have.

I genuinely believe the thing that pisses off these goons the most is when people aren’t scared of them. Someone smiling in defiance is more infuriating to them than anything at this point.

There should be public dialogue from Dem leaders about what the medium-long term political strategy against Trumpism is. They don't want impeachment (not enough votes) so what can a Dem congress do that's more effective? Is there a philosophy other than "Vote for us and hope something good happens?"
