i want to thank this spineless consultant not only for the enjoyment i got from reading the replies ripping him apart for this bizarre & inappropriate cash grab, but for reminding me to put my money where my mouth is & donate to organizations in MN that are actually supporting minnesotans right now.
I've launched a campaign to raise money for the Democratic Party of Minnesota (@dfl.org) to help them combat ICE's lawless assault. MN Dem Chair Richard Carlbom joined me for the kickoff. Learn more, donate, and let's rally for the courageous people of Minnesota, together! 👇

I knew Brenda, but I didn’t know that happened to her. I wish I could say I was surprised. But I’m not. It’s awful.
I remember reading how Brenda Song, a Disney Channel actress, as a teen found her image used in an escort agency ad when she was a teen without her permission. She sued the company and won the case. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brenda_...

If you offer a bonus, even if the detainee is later released, you get what you have now - thousands of illegitimate detentions. They are being incentivized to not care who they detain. This could be stopped.

Reading this, one thing that's striking (and yes, obvious in a way) is how so many of these people are protected by anonymity. Unmasking is such a crucial step in fighting this stuff. This also applies to ICE.

If they try to say “well he shot BECAUSE he was tapped,” they implicitly give up the idea that it was self-defense (if they are saying it doesn’t matter whether he was in danger the moment he fired).

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.

Breaking News: The EPA will stop considering lives saved when setting pollution limits and instead calculate only the cost to businesses.
