It would only take a tiny handful of Republican Congress members or senators to stop the slide of America toward authoritarian fascism, but nope. They're all in.

In Trump's America, if you are a fraudster, pedophile, insurrectionist, drug trafficker, or neo-nazi, you get a pardon.
But if you're an elected leader who speaks out against the Trump Administration, you get investigated.
This is not justice.

If you’re going to run for office in MN and aren’t going to call for Abolishing ICE, it’s going to get harder and harder for you. The kids who today are building snow walls to keep out ICE and drawing pictures of ICE defeating machines will soon be of voting age, and they’re not going to forget this

How you can tell the protesters aren’t paid agitators: Watch the videos. It’s the accents.
Those accents have a favorite Zorbaz.
Those accents can tell you EXACTLY where they were on 10/31/91.
Those accents have thrown a bra off the SkyGlider.
Those accents get emotional about Randy Moss.

Fun fact! We could be using the $75 billion allocated for ICE on literally anything else! Like essential services that help people exist! It’s almost as if these issues + our priorities have a lot of overlap!
Also people definitely can’t afford things if they get shot in the face!

so much to cover right now, but a thread i just want to throw out there from my reporting is that the car rental market in minneapolis is reportedly totally screwed up right now because ICE has cleared the inventory. rental companies should have to answer for supplying vehicles used in terror.

If this was Oakland, the claim would be that crime and political incompetence drove the stores out of business and ruined the mall.
But it's Danville, a very wealthy suburb with very little crime. So the narrative is vaguely about "deterioration" and "decline."

This is what happens when a country 2x rejects the very idea of a woman POTUS & instead chooses not just any man, but a rapist who brags about his serial sexual assaults & his decades-long friendship with a pedophile.
Violent misogyny--largely unrecognized--is the glue binding the MAGA coalition.

The rage that has to exist in the average Minnesotan to watch someone stuck on an icy hill and STAND BY AND TAUNT THEM
This morning in Minneapolis, an ICE vehicle got stuck on an icy hill in a residential neighborhood. Agents had to push the vehicles out, some almost slipping in the ice themselves.

ICE isn’t welcome here. ICE shouldn’t exist. Every elected official must be clear-eyed about the fact that ICE is a threat to our entire country and must be abolished. As we in the Twin Cities know too well, our taxes are going to fund an entity that is attacking our neighbors; this has to end.
