We need to get it lodged more firmly in the discourse that Trump and Stephen Miller are prioritizing removing nonviolent immigrants over public safety. They are sinking so many resources into their ethnic purification project that they're putting us in more danger.

Remember like two days ago when that Hilton branch in Minnesota canceled ICE's reservation and the Hilton company punished them for it?

Boy I think maybe Hilton should be informed about what happened today.

One of the many ironies of the way the Trump administration and its allies have used the scandal to attack Minnesota’s Somalis: They are victims too, because every dollar that a grifter pocketed is a dollar that needy members of their community didn’t get.

The Malheur National Wildlife Refuge standoff began 10 years ago today.
In April of 2025, The Tribune interviewed Ammon Bundy, now living in southern Utah as a fugitive — though law enforcement has shown little interest in arresting him.

Even with an Idaho warrant out for his arrest, Ammon Bundy said he is not overly concerned about being collared by police while he lives in Utah.

i think it is ok to reiterate that the victim as a us citizen. yes, noncitizens are equally entitled to human rights. but also, it's important to illustrate how ice isn't about immigration at all

Watching the footage from Minneapolis is a gut‑punch reminder of the darkest chapters in our history. We don’t need 2,000 federal agents storming our cities—we need a federal government that actually respects the Constitution it swore to uphold.

This eyewitness account (on Fox News, no less) by a local resident who at at home and thus not part of any protest provides a better picture than any video I have seen. No ICE agent was ever in danger. Instead, an ICE agent chose to kill a 37-year old American citizen and mother of a young child.

the "narrative" is exactly what the ICE agents did. they recklessly, wantonly sought to provoke violence.

if you watch that video and actually believe she was threatening them, you need psychiatric help

if you merely pretend to believe it, you need God's mercy
Martha MacCallum: “It's possible that that poor woman …might be alive today if she wasn't buying into the narrative that has been put out there around all of these ICE agents.”

The same people who spent yesterday, and the past five years, insisting a Black police officer who shot an insurrectionist breaking into the Capitol should be prosecuted are today bending over backwards to defend an ICE agent who shot a woman in her car in cold blood.

Serious issues confront the nation and the world and Trump has unleashed a race to see which elected leader can behave more like an obnoxious middle schooler.

What a model to set for the next generation.

Our problems run deep and will take a civic awakening to recover.
