ICE’s Campaign Of Terror Is Not Over, Says Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey Trump’s surge of federal agents is trending down but “certainly hasn't stopped and ... people are very much on edge,” he said.

NEW: Tom Homan declared last week the ICE surge in Minnesota was over + the drawdown of federal agents would carry on through this week.

But ICE is still all over.

“It certainly hasn’t stopped,” Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey told me. "People are very much on edge." www.huffpost.com/entry/ice-mi...

Maybe somebody at CNN can explain the difference here because I don’t qwhite understand it 🤔

the thing about the Olympics is that they combine one of the most corrupt organizations in the world and also pure joy.

we couldn't use government funds to buy coffee (like, folgers ground coffee) when i worked on a CDC outbreak emergency response

And sometimes the “less bad” candidate is responsible for some very good, transformational policy.

Do I think FDR and LBJ were net-positive for America? Yes.

Did they also do some terrible things? Yes.

Were they considered transformational figures when they became President? No.

Sometimes you just need a Dem in the White House at the right time.

I wish Democrats didn’t feel the need to offset their left-wing positions with right wing appeals to appeal to centrists. It broadcasts political weakness or moral deficiencies or both.

Also, the median voter is an idiot who does not recognize reason nor civic virtue.

Bernie Sanders went on right wing podcasts in 2025 to talk about how Biden didn’t “secure the border” and how he preferred Trump on “border security”. His anti-immigrant positions are a stain on his legacy but I would still vote for him if he was running against any one of the maga freaks.

Awfully hard to square the claims that ICE is focused on removing violent criminals that are so dangerous we can't let them be around with the fact that ICE tricks their targets by pretending to need help and waiting for neighborly types to respond by offering to help a stranger for free.

It’s going to be wild when the Seahawks open their 2028 season in their new stadium in The Line

Some parts of China are living in 2226 and some in 1826 and Chinese law limits the rights of people to move between those places (unless you have money)

Modern China, to me, feels a lot like what Trump wants America to look like (outside of the explicit ethnic nationalism), in respect to both the economy and government

I have never visited China as a guest of the state but my experience visiting China over the years is that the average citizen experiences limited freedom while facing economic pressures consistent with hyper capitalism

Prepare for the worst and the “pretty terrible” won’t seem so bad

Congrats to Elon Musk on his new “sportsball” purchase

every immigration wave follows the same basic economic pattern and every immigration wave thinks the success of the second generation is due to the unique attributes of their parental culture and I’m starting to doubt that they’re all correct

This is the kind of thing white supremacists have been doing to Emmett Till’s memorial for decades.

It’s wild to see them do this to a white woman who the entire world saw extrajudicially murdered.

Well which is it? Are you for birthright citizenship or against?

You should automatically acquire citizenship if you have a kid who’s a citizen at birth

Taiwan is so nice!

Not to be cynical but any one of these us citizen children exiled to foreign countries could be Elian Gonzalez if the press wanted

It was half of an 8oz container (which rounds down to 3.4oz in my book) and the TSA agent couldn’t explain what was wrong with it except it was “too much”

a fucking pedophile sexually abused nearly every prospective and actual Olympian gymnast for over two decades, and the political discourse is hyper-fixated on the hypothetical unfairness of trans girls competing with cis girls
