Just waking up to the 5th Circuit’s endorsement of US concentration camps? Or is it some other horror?

Maybe most of Minnesota’s federal and state elected Dems have been abducted by ICE…

Cunningham is a little too cop-friendly.

If true, boo-fucking-hop.

The censoriousness of the opsec cosplay brigade seems to run the risk of crossing over into the illiberalism of the right.

The story really ought to include a list with the names of every member of the Illini Republicans. Definitely the names of their officers.

That would be a stark (and excellent) way to drive home the reality our current hellscape.

Not the electoral college solution I was looking for.

He’s a fucking US Senator who took an oath to defend our constitution (which he apparently hasn’t read) and writes/votes on laws that affect immigration, law enforcement, and the courts.

I’m so not know why we accept these dumbass claims of ignorance from elected officials.

The revolution is being televised, it doesn’t need to be β€œopsec” cosplayed.

License plate readers, security cameras, facial recognition, stingrays, Palantir, Thompson Reuters - while we should take sensible precautions, the feds already have a lot of information about us at their fingertips.

The U’s regents haven’t been covering themselves in glory with their hires for president this century…

My typo was Demouth. Oops.

Demouth has the position and influence to start an official investigation of any state agency or practice by house committees.

That she chose a path that would predictably cause Minnesotans harm should disqualify her from public office.

Yeah, I die inside a little every time I think about how roughly 2/3rds of my fellow citizens either actively voted for this or chose not to vote.

I thought Fugitive Caesar was doing a bit - like telling ICE that leather-sole shoes are better for walking on ice.

I guess I’m looking for a it of humor wherever I can find it this weekend.

I’m genuinely surprised by a few of the companies co-signing this letter - I didn’t think their c-suites were that detached from the horrors of everyday life in Minnesota.

Shame on me.

It’s awfully nice of them to give us a β€œboycott or do less business with these companiesβ€œ list.

C, but with β€œand continuing to make us proud to be part of a community that cares about each other.” Or something similar.

Right? And like critical comments about Schumer’s job performance in a public role that impacts each of our lives on a near daily basis are some how off limits?!

Thanks! I’ve already blocked them, but was mostly humored that a an account obviously concealing the true identity of the user would accuse me of using... an account created to conceal my identity.

Chuck Schumer is so effective that he shutdown the federal government for six weeks only to have the funding bill pass without achieving any Democratic goal.

Chuck Schumer is so effective that he didn’t know other Democrats were negotiating to end the last shutdown behind his back.

Mamdani wasn’t a leader in the Democratic Party at that time.

What I care about is leadership - and the lack thereof.

Chuck Schumer is so effective he refused to endorse the Democratic Party nominee for mayor of the largest city in his home state.
