Domestically the US government is trying to undo the peace settlement from the Civil War, abroad they're trying to undo the peace settlement from World War II
I don't think it's a coincidence that all of this (worldwide) is happening when most of the people who lived through WWII have just died. We need to do a better job of keeping their memories and ideals alive.

I was just denied access to the ICE processing center at the Whipple Building.

Members of Congress have a legal right and constitutional responsibility to conduct oversight where people are being detained.

The public deserves to know what is taking place in ICE facilities.
JUST NOW: Huge mass of agents in a standoff, weapons drawn as Reps. Ilhan Omar, Angie Craig, and Kelly Morrison attempt to conduct congressional oversight at the Whipple Building, which has been HQ for thousands of ICE agents.

Mayor Frey describes incident where federal agents snatched someone out of their car on 3rd Ave: "They left the car in the middle of the street. The car wasn't even in park. So you've got this vehicle that's rolling down the street with nobody in it."

Three Members of Congress showed up to inspect the actions of federal officers in their state and the federal officers drew their weapons?

This is so real, they tried it this morning in Bloomington. They stopped a man, people started honking horns, they split up to fuck with everyone else, which brought more attention and more noise, people got out of their cars and started filming, they left. They're cowards.
obviously not in the sense that it’s stopping everything, but they are being stalled so much by trying to find places where they aren’t watched, wasting so much manpower and resources on crowd control and even arresting observers they know will just get released. i am so proud of everyone

Now I've got that going for me too
So I live in the Twin Cities, which is weird as hell, scary as hell, spooky as hell. I'm mad as hell and this is Hell.

But @jordanmorris.bsky.social told me yesterday that the canonical word for the sound Godzilla makes is "Skreeonk."

And I didn't know that before.

So I got that going for me.

They hate Minnesota because we are a people who believe that "we all do better when we all do better."

Minnesota is one of the wealthiest, safest, and cleanest states in the country *because* of our openness and generosity.

Our quality of life is a direct challenge to their zero-sum worldview.

The only acceptable exception
Milwaukee Bucks coach Doc Rivers called the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good by a federal agent in Minneapolis “straight-up murder” on Friday, hours after fellow NBA coach Steve Kerr commented on federal officials’ response to the incident.

More photos from the biggest anti-ICE rally in Minneapolis since an ICE agent shot and killed observer Renee Macklin Good on Wednesday. No police presence but south Minneapolis residents will recognize the familiar sound of helicopters in the air. Demonstrators cleared a path for an ambulance.

This is very good from WaPo. Note position of officer's feet to side of car when first shot is fired. I think everyone defending this should be asked: Was it not even an *overreaction* to fire those shots, especially 2 & 3, into her face point-blank with the officer clearly not in danger? Really?

Minnesota friends,

The State of Minnesota does not need to be invited to participate in the DHS "investigation" of its murder of Renee Good. The sovereign State of Minnesota can and must conduct its own investigation, present its findings to its own grand jury, and bring its own criminal charges.
You're going to hear a lot of lies about what the law allows after the Trump Regime's murder of Renee Good.

States can prosecute federal officers, they've been doing it since the 1800s. Trump cannot stop it and cannot pardon it.

Here's the legal analysis

The shooting in Minnesota is a reminder that while authoritarian governments may justify abuses of power by directing them at scapegoats or vulnerable populations, the goal is ultimately to deploy them against anyone they wish to www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

This irrefutable evidence didn't come from professional journalists, but from citizens who showed up & recorded what our government would prefer remain unseen.

From Gaza to Minneapolis, this is why video documentation is treated as a threat: it makes their lies and cover-ups far harder to sustain.
Forensic analysis of objective video evidence. This is how you serve readers searching for clarity.

Abolish and prosecute ICE. They did a murder in broad daylight today. Imagine what they're doing in the closed facilities we're somehow not even allowed to see.
