has there been anything less politically popular than ICE?

like Trump, it destroys everything it touches yet will keep sticking around regardless

I said before that if they’re going to run with Coach Finch’s β€œlet the players figure it out” approach, they need guys who can figure it out. That’s Slow Mo.

This was _wild_ to hear from them, truly. And a few testifiers said this, which is really important: a 30 day pause gives bureaucracy (city, county, applications) the time to implement the 1 mil in rent assistance the city is allocating to the county.

It’s wild that so called β€œaffordable housing” providers were advocating for people to face eviction & have to sleep out on the street. Residents have already been subsidizing their nonprofits w/ millions in mutual aid for their tenants to pay their rents. Remember this next time they beg for money.

When the amusement park that eventually opened in Arlington, Texas, was being planned, it was to be called "Texas Under Six Flags," until someone (perhaps apocryphally) said "Texas isn't under anything," and so they called it "Six Flags Over Texas."

Anyway: Kristi Noem thinks this is an answer.

I call on my colleagues and Mayor Frey to support this measure. Our neighbors told us loud and clear: they need us. They pleaded with us to take action. Let’s rise to the occasion.

We all agree on one truth: we are in a crisis, and our neighbors are struggling. During their testimony, neighbors that are doing the hard work of fundraising, connecting people to resources, patrolling, and more, said that this measure is the BARE MINIMUM we can do right now.

I want to thank everyone who came out to today’s hearing on Pause Evictions, Save Lives, an ordinance to temporarily extend the eviction notice period from 30 to 60 days in response to Operation Metro Surge.

This is why it was so funny for Michael Rainville to be outspoken against council scrutiny of liquor licenses for hotels housing ICE agents. He thinks a convenience store/deli open late is a threat to public safety.

Minneapolis residents who pay immigrant neighbors’ rent ask city to delay evictions A council committee voted to temporarily extend eviction notice filings from 30 to 60 days; the full council will vote again.

A divided Minneapolis City Council committee voted to temporarily extend the eviction notice timeline for renters.

The committee includes all council members, but the ordinance will be voted on by the full council again on March 5.

"Nicholson ... lives in the prosperous west metro city of Minnetrista." Which is code for his living in a house with $2.7 million assessed value, purchased in 2021 for $2.35 million.

Let how exhausted I look here give you a window into how hard mutual aid organizers have been pushing to keep our neighbors safe and housed when no one else will. Please write to your councilmembers and the mayor and urge them to pass Pause Evictions, Save Lives!

Watching Republicans test-run straight up election rigging in Texas is honestly astonishing. I know we’re not surprised, but it’s so brazen it’s shocking

Federal agents were the primary public safety threat in Minneapolis during Jan/Feb. The chief made big promises about addressing it back in December. It's the reason MPD blasted through their yearly overtime budget in just a few weeks.

It seems to me two guys talking on MPR about targets dismal sales could have at least mentioned that there's a consumer backlash against the company's complete rejection of social justice. Pat but nope

All it takes to debunk the theory that thousands of kids were pushed into gender-affirming surgeries is to talk to literally any trans person who has tried to get gender-affirming care of ANY kind. It's extremely difficult.

Kristi Noem refuses to retract statement calling Minnesotans killed by federal agents β€˜domestic terrorists’ Homeland security secretary was grilled in Senate hearing over immigration enforcement crackdown in Twin Cities

Alex Pretti was a health care worker and legal gun owner, and there is video from multiple angles showing NO aggression towards ICE when they murdered him.

The ONLY domestic terrorists are the masked killers still on the loose and employed by ICE
