According to DHS, about 3,000 ICE and federal agents are operating in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area. THREE THOUSAND! The entire Minneapolis Police Department only has about 580 officers. This is outrageous and unnecessary.
Our tax dollars are funding this abuse, so it’s happening in our name.

This isn't just a casual observation. Fascism scholars have long made this point. It's why calling them "weird" was a more effective strategy than talking about the prices of eggs. Fascism is an aesthetic political movement - you need to make people feel embarassed and horrified by it.
one of the most effective weapons we have against fascism is mockery, especially when its really funny
It occurs to me all the yelling at ICE in MPLS isn't merely funny. Getting made fun of like this is awful for morale. ICE is losing field officers faster than it can wave them through training, and a big part of it is how little of this these little weasels can take.

For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies

A simple experiment can make your brain think a rubber hand is its own: hide your hand and stroke a fake one in sync and you'll feel like the rubber hand belongs to you. This illusion shows that our sense of self is flexible. Use a rubber hand to click this link and learn more ➡️ w.wiki/GYEi

If you are a foreign president who commits crimes overseas, America will come get you, arrest you, and lock you up.
But if you are a US president who commits crimes here in the United States, America will give you immunity from prosecution, reelect you, and bribe you with billions of dollars.

And so the new model emerges: subscription to life itself. Not ownership, but access. Not possession, but permission. A society where everything you use—your home, your tools, your entertainment, your transportation—must be continuously rented from the titans who own the infrastructure of existence.

Hey America, if you were a Christian nation, you’d be feeding the poor, not yelling at them for using food stamps.
