When the racist meme becomes national policy
Great information and inspiration.
For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention.
The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.

Opinion | I'm a Minneapolis sociologist who studies violence. Here's how ICE observers are helping.
Research into how violence occurs shows that disapproval from the people around you can help reduce it.

NEW: Jonathan Ross, the ICE thug who murdered Renee Good, was NOT TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL according to police reports. He was taken to the Federal Building. He was NOT INJURED. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

He's cool with the white immigrants.
Trump during Florida Panthers celebration: "I heard they have a little surprise. Ooh, that looks nice. I hope it's the stick and not just the shirt. That stick looks beautiful. That looks beautiful. Maybe I get both, who the hells knows. I'm president, I'll just take them."

Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

ICE agents are stalking the streets of Minneapolis demanding that random brown people provide proof of citizenship.
We good with that, America?
I thought we learned this lesson back in World War II, but I guess not.

Yes. This is why they released the Ross cell phone footage. They want to make sure we know that they will kill us if we disrespect them.
Trump on Air Force One when asked about Renee Nicole Good
“It was highly disrespectful of law enforcement. Law enforcement shouldn’t be in a position where they have to put up with this stuff”
So if you’re annoyed or disrespected you can just kill the person so you don’t have to put up with it?

He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.

We're at the "Don't go out in public if you have brown skin because you might be murdered or kidnapped" stage of white supremacist fascism.
Minneapolis City Council member Jason Chavez: "Many of our immigrants neighbors are picked up simply by moving their cars. Help your neighbors take out the trash, because there are many reports of neighbors being kidnapped when they're taking their trash out."

This is a guy who has his dream job.
And there’s only one of those positions in the world.
Yet he’s still speaking out and risking reprisal.

JD Vance gave the old abusers ‘she shouldn’t have made the ICE officer shoot her in the face’ gaslighting the victim schtick at WH. It’s hard to believe just how many awful folks we are dealing with at the same time. JD is white trash with fancy words.

Instead they choose to let it continue and to justify it.

FYI:
In 1916 the U.S. signed an agreement for control of St. Thomas, St. John & St. Croix, known as the “Danish West Indies,” in exchange for $25 million & a declaration that the U.S. would “not object to the Danish Govt extending their political & economic interests to the whole of Greenland.

The American people electing Trump after he staged a coup attempt 5 years ago was a nail in the coffin of our democracy. You can rationalize it all you want - But inflation! But wokeness! - but ultimately it was a societal suicide attempt and probably the dumbest collective voting decision ever made
