Politics hasn't been this simple in a long time: do you think it's good for one man to exercise unchecked, arbitrary power or not. Those are the two available ideologies right now

This is exactly why you CAN'T let anyone off the hook. Including voters. They KNOW it's wrong and always knew it was wrong to vote for Trump and now we're gonna show em grace so they can vote for Vance or Rubio or whatever comes next? Foh

New polling data shows that it's getting increasingly embarrassing to identify as a Republican, and some Trump voters are slinking away and pretending it never happened.

I'm REALLY happy they folded on the shutdown to give ICE all this money to terrorize Americans. Really happy. And everyone who said they needed to reopen the government you were wrong of course. I hate being a moron on the internet and somehow having more sense than the people paid to represent us

ICE is terrorizing schoolchildren in the Twin Cities again today
Golden valley PD confirmed there are federal vehicles in the church parking lot. Unclear what they are doing or what their goal is. Neighboring school activated their Stay Indoors policy to keep students inside.

An IRL friend of mine's father was kidnapped by ICE and sent to El Paso. I'm looking for help reaching people in or supporting cases at the El Paso ICE facility. Please let me know (DM) if you can help.

Renee Good, they are increasingly stopping this observation, breaking car windows and pulling observers out, in one case unconscious, merely for watching what they are doing.
The country should be alarmed they won't stop with us - but know that while this is traumatizing to any good person you know
David Brauer 5m A friend said those of us who live in Minneapolis should write about what's going on here for folks who live elsewhere. You need to know that whether you're a Republican, Independent or Democrat, the Constitution is being violated by our federal government. This is not about catching criminals, or even deporting people. It is about punishing an entire state, including citizens, for not supporting the president. Everyone in my part of Minneapolis is affected. On our streets, ICE is stopping people of color and demanding their papers. In America. US citizens do not have to prove citizenship to ICE. Yet people are being intimidated, some cases beaten up and detained, for requiring ICE to follow the law. ICE needs a judicial warrant to enter homes. Yet there are documented cases of them ignoring the law - violating a bedrock constitutional principle. Americans of color are staying home, afraid to go to work, school, to grocery shop, or fill their cars with gas. This isn't just "illegals" or immigrants with valid work permits, it is citizens who have had their cars rammed by ICE for merely looking Hispanic. Businesses are closing. Schools are 50 percent full. When they are open, fascists are calling in bomb threats because the president decided to make us a meme. After a daycare teacher with a valid work permit (through 2030) was snatched from her workplace, parents (and grandparents) have had to organize to watch their SCHOOLS, to make sure conditional rights are observed. This is being repeated throughout Minnesota. Imagine trying to do your job or live you life while also taking volunteer shifts to make sure the federal government doesn't act extrajudicially. Because of ICE's documented abuses, neighbors have organized to monitor federal actions. This observation is legal, as long as it doesn't interfere with a valid action. Yet since ICE killed Renee Good, they are increasingly stopping this observation, breaking car windows and pulling observers out,

The old constitutional order is gone, and we should be straightforward about that. It’s obvious that, whatever else is on the reconstruction agenda, ICE abolition must be included.

For goodness’ sake, Bill Kristol is in favor of it. Can you really not get there? trib.al/Au0nOrx

If a Minnesotan says to you, "I don't plan to let you do that," run.
Screenshot of Startribune article with the headline: Counterprotestors prevented Jake Lang from burning Qur'an. "Right wing influencer Jake Lang planned to burn a Quy'an outside Minneapolis City Hall at 1pm as part of his anti-Islam rally, but counterprotestors said they were not planning to let him do that."

Very curious what the long-term ripple effects of this ICE occupation will be. Many very privileged people have stepped up to prevent their own government from disappearing their non-white neighbors and have now confronted inequalities and social problems they never would have experienced firsthand.

Remember when Dems were all patting themselves on the back after stopping the shutdown because they said "it'll get the Epstein Files released" and people with a brain laughed at them and all reopening the govt really did was supercharge ICE with new money and allow Trump to attack Venezuela.
