There's a drone flying overhead tonight in my Jordan neighborhood of north #Minneapolis. I caught a closeup of it on video. I expect this #surveillance means that tomorrow's #ICE invasion will be worse than usual.

I think it's time for whisky and then sleep. They're trying to tire us out, because it's an effective strategy.

Hey #Minneapolis, particularly those on the north side. Colonial Market (Penn & Lowry) took over the spot from Aldi's when they pulled out and left more of a grocery desert. Colonial now has a GoFundMe to help deliver groceries to people in need here.

It's no coincidence that on the same day we learned there are *4,000* ICE and CBP agents in Minneapolis rather than the 3,000 we were told, Trump tells Walz he might be willing to reduce the 4,000 slightly.
He's giving up nothing.
And Bovino getting moved out of state is just an "optics" decision.

The word of the day is "indignation", thanks to a historian who has also officially called the USA currently a fascist government.

Absolutely reprehensible that AG Bondi is offering ICE stand down in exchange for access to voting rolls. Outrageous and disgusting. It shows ICE is in Minneapolis is not for law enforcement purposes. Instead it’s a way to stir up shit in blue states and extort them.
In the wake of another fatal shooting in Minneapolis.
AG Pam Bondi sends Gov. Walz a letter today making several asks including:
"Allow DOJ Civil Rights division access to state voter rolls"

ICE attacked an observer after they tailed a group of clergy on a spiritual pilgrimage.
Our digital producer @sam.vp just so happened to be with the clergy on their journey. He spoke with the observer who was attacked and others who witnessed the assault.

this has flown under the radar, but we are doing third-country detention in a country with a worse human rights record than North Korea
And here’s an Omni jet landing in Equatorial Guinea yesterday. This is very likely a third-country removal to a torture prison, the second in a week and the third there overall.

The story of the resistance is this: queer people, faith leaders, and labor leaders. It's librarian grandmas and dads doing bike patrols, it's a sex toy shop and a toy toy shop, it's the Somalis, Latinos, Hmong, Norwegians, and everyone else.
