In 2025, see the fascist threat. Love latenight shows but hate Sunday talkshows and Fox news. Reading about books, music, art, comics and stuff cheers me up. Otherwise a lame political scientist/political economist and author of unpublishable papers.

#ProudBlue Minneapolis is a war zone. DHS/ICE/CBP are relentlessly attacking American citizens fighting to protect their rights & their neighbors.
It's 10am in Minneapolis and rapid response is underwater, reports of chemicals deployed already.
As others have pointed out, the ratio of feds (with more arriving) to residents and square mileage here is extreme compared to what we experienced in Chicago.
We are in freefall.

Conveniently, the state being able to specifically articulate why it’s stopping a vehicle happens to be the longstanding legal test for whether it’s constitutionally permissible to do so.
![Terry v. Ohio, 392 U.S. 1 (1968)
Overview Opinions Materials
Nonetheless, the notions which underlie both the warrant procedure and the requirement of probable cause remain fully relevant in this context. In order to assess the reasonableness of Officer McFadden's conduct as a general proposition, it is necessary "first to focus upon
[21]
the governmental interest which allegedly justifies official intrusion upon the constitutionally protected interests of the private citizen," for there is "no ready test for determining reasonableness other than by balancing the need to search [or seize] against the invasion which the search [or seizure] entails." Camara v. Municipal Court, 387 U.
S. 523, 534-535, 536-537 (1967). And, in justifying the particular intrusion, the police officer must be able to point to specific and articulable facts which, taken together with rational inferences from those facts, reasonably warrant that intrusion. [Footnote
18] The scheme of the Fourth Amendment becomes meaningful only when it is assured that, at some point, the conduct of those charged with enforcing the laws can be subjected to the more detached, neutral scrutiny of a judge who must evaluate the reasonableness of a particular search or seizure in light of the particular circumstances.
[Footnote 19] And, in making that assessment, it is imperative that the facts be judged against an objective standard: would the facts](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:on5oeywiqx32fh2zau473wz6/bafkreigqybbyb7kipnvue7szo2igyhlavzyf2fr777sgb6ln5bnhnfqafy@jpeg)

People really do not understand how out of control Minneapolis is right now. I spent almost 8 hours today on the street in different parts of the city and saw everything from tear gas and pepper balls being used to fully marked ice vehicles roaming and pointing out people to camera crews onboard.
ICE is now ramming civilian cars through red lights in Minnesota. — they are tax payer agitators ‼️

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
