Fuck ICE and all these other DHS Brownshirts.

ICE is not only chasing down every random brown person in Chicago, they have a cameraman following them to film this for social media. Cruelty and inhumanity as content.

Agreed. For me, captures a mournful yet anticipatory quality one might want re-entering the world after a memorial service.

Chicago Latina Shot by Border Patrol Survives, Lawyers Up

“La Maggie” Martinez survived a federal shooting in Chicago. Now her attorney says body-cam footage shows the agents provoked it. The public deserves to see the tape.

While Mayor Frey and Chief O’Hara have attempted to claim that MPD only showed up at the ICE action on June 3rd to assist with crowd control, ICE agents certainly saw MPD’s actions differently.

In fact, the ICE Special Agent in Charge emailed O’Hara to say thank you that same day.

Title text: "ICE Thanks O'Hara & MPD" with the following quote below: "I cannot tell you how impressed my staff were as you stepped up and personally escorted that tactical vehicle through the crowd." Below that is a screenshot of an email sent from Jamie Holt, Special Agent in Charge of Homeland Securities Investigations to Chief O'Hara.

I’m. So. Tired.

I don’t just want you to pay attention to Chicago because I want you to understand our plight. I want you to see how hard people are fighting and know wtf you’re made of. We’re not just fighting for this place. This is for all of us.

My 10yo and I got some kayaking in on Pickerel Lake today. The Mississippi River Paddle Share is a pretty sweet deal.

In America, you have 15 months to establish visitation and prove maintenance of contact with your children before the state forfeits your parental rights.

Many women cannot sustain this due to involuntary transfers, lack of funds, no legal representation.

Cellphones are a lifeline

The fascinating thing about Vance to me is that he even attempts to go back to early 1900s battles over whiteness in the vein of Woodrow Wilson’s articulated disdain for “hyphenated Americans,” which keeps popping up—like in his X post in February-ish about Ukrainian-Americans.

jamelle @jamellebouie.net · 4d

also, in keeping with Vance’s view of american identity, only white people are fully American with the right to critique or dissent. nonwhites must show proper gratitude (supporting Trump or marrying JD Vance) before they can speak critically of the country (in approved ways, of course)

Jess Calarco @jessicacalarco.com · 4d

Weaponized gratitude is a key tool in the abuser's toolkit. The goal is to convince the victim that they owe the abuser so much, they should feel guilty for wanting to complain.

This is not the shit we need from @governorwalz.mn.gov, state DFL leaders, or MN regulators. Keep private equity away from our utilities!

David Dayen @ddayen.bsky.social · 6d

BlackRock is leading a consortium buying Minnesota Power in a private equity foray into utilities. The decision will be made tomorrow. Meanwhile, Gov. Walz's Department of Commerce flipped to supporting the deal, & emails show numerous contacts with the acquisition’s supporters. From James Baratta:

Private Equity Power Play in Minnesota

BlackRock-owned Global Infrastructure Partners and a Canadian pension giant want to buy a Minnesota-based utility. Gov. Tim Walz’s agencies have been in on pushing the deal.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov owns every arrest and act of violence against protesters this morning. He is aiding and abetting Operation Midway Blitz by allowing state cops to do this. He tells us to film ICE. His cops have shoved me around for filming this morning.

SCOOP — Pennsylvania prosecutors were alerted to possible voting irregularities by one of MAGA's leading voices against voter fraud. A long paper trail shows Jack Posobiec has been living in Maryland but voting using his parents' PA address for years.

From @jsweetli.bsky.social, @slate.com + me:

MAGA’s “Voter Fraud” Watchdog Votes in a Swing State. He Doesn’t Live There.

A long paper trail shows that Jack Posobiec casts a ballot in one state and lives in another.

This morning HSI raided a construction site in the North End and took every single worker. I am in direct communication with neighbors, Representative Hollins, the Chief of Police, and COPAL who is a leader in the Immigrant Defense Network. I know that SPPD and Ram Co Sheriffs were NOT present.
Neighbors demanded the agents to identify themselves and they did not, leaving neighbors feeling confused who was present or if it was SPPD. I want to be very clear, Saint Paul Police officers will always identify themselves when asked. This is our policy. They will also be easily identified.

Whoever is running DHS social media knew exactly what they were doing here.

The "Mac Tonight" Moon Man meme was so prevalent on Nazi Telegram channels I genuinely didn't even know it originated elsewhere until much later.
