    in case you're curious about how angry Minnesota is about ICE, it was -20 today

    The extremely simple fact is that Jeff Epstein was the most notorious child sex trafficker in history, and the President of the US was his close personal friend for decades

    Acting like this is complicated is absurd. The man knew what Epstein did, didn't care, and participated

    By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet

    I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio.

    Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3.

    Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.

    Now that Kirk's killer seems to be caught, maybe the news could spare a moment's attention for the right wing, from the commentariat up to the GOP and president, whose immediate reaction was not mourning, but to seize the opportunity to try to incite violence against groups they hate

    oh commuters just found the motherlode of ice agents at a suburban hotel, including, potentially, bovino himself. a bunch of confirmed ICE and CBP cars from the bovino convoy there. spring hill suites in maple grove.

    people of the twin cities, do with this info what you will.

    Here’s the situation in the Twin Cities:

    Random Bovino-style tear-gassing: Way down

    Relentless persecution of immigrants: Unchanged

    Thuggish violence against observers: Way up

    Having seen several abductions up close, it is really hard to convey how much the thing they’re doing is roaming in military convoys until they see someone who is alone and isn’t white, and then jumping out in large numbers, pulling them into a van, and screeching off, all in 90 seconds or so.

    They are targeting children because they are trying incite violence. I have talked to many journalists today, and they all made the same observation: Border Patrol and ICE have been rolling around with maximum aggression, lingering for ages as crowds, gather, seemingly trying to cause a riot.

    You are living through the unthinkable: the president of the United States using the military to seize domestic power. The greatest crisis of executive power in American history, at the hands of the worst, most corrupt, and most unfit president in American history.

    guys minneapolis is a living hell today. they've tear-gassed so many people, tear-gassed a park, beaten people up in front of me. greg bovino is rolling around to gas stations and posing in front of them, trying to cause a riot.

    These are calls for mass political violence, against all Democrats. They openly call for the bombing of "Democrat" cities and for the jailing or killing of Democratic politicians. They are from some of the most influential voices in right-wing politics. Will anyone say anything?

    Sometimes very hard not to feel like the rest of the country has abandoned Minnesota. We STILL have ICE everywhere. Our schools, businesses, and economy are in profound crisis. But without Bovino here throwing tear gas, much of the country seems to not care at all what’s being done to us.

    Miller’s apparent elevation to shadow president and his seeming intent to declare an end to the constitutional order would, in any other administration, be treated as a executive branch meltdown that was immensely embarrassing for the president and requiring Miller’s immediate removal

    Monarez is playing her weak hand perfectly, and should be a model for institutional resistance for the next four years:
    1. Make them fire you
    2. Don’t go along to get along
    3. Don’t apologize, have confidence in your own integrity and the importance of your role
    4. Always escalate the conflict

    Minneapolis should press its momentum and demand not only withdrawal but start talking about the need for immediate reparations, loudly, with the total certainty that only winners have. "You have wronged us terribly and must pay recompense" and let them argue the second part.

    DEAR FEDERAL AGENTS

    If you come into the Twin Cities, and we find you, we will follow you.

    This is because of what you did here. It is the consequence of your actions.

    Stop complaining about it. Stop pretending it’s some sort of crime.

    You won’t get any peace in this city. Just leave.

    The story of 2024 is this: Trump had a plan to destroy American government called Project 2025, which had, literally, not a typo, a 4% approval rating. He lied constantly and said he wouldn't do it.

    Then he entered office and immediately implemented AN EVEN MORE EXTREME VERSION OF IT.

    The news isn’t being clear about this but to people hearing about these Minnesota shootings: Melissa Hortman is the Dem leader in the Minnesota House and was Speaker of the House 2019-2025. She’s probably the most influential state-level Democrat barring the governor.

    "Western civilization," the font, the 11 stars - 11 states in the confederacy, for the record.

    Why is this never news? Why are we letting our government agencies do this sort of thing while the news agencies report on hallucinated trade deals and act like everything is normal

    Initial report is that two observers got into a shoving match with eight agents, one observer was wrestled to the ground, and then an ICE agent pulled out a sidearm and shot the man on the ground five times.

    This is the line from the horrific SCOTUS decision today that will stick with me. “Sure, the president should follow the law - but the courts can’t force him to do it.” Rendering the Constitution a dead letter if the president decides he’d rather not deal with it.
