I think it’s time for Democratic leaders to start saying “if you’re a pilot or ground crew involved in a deportation that was stayed by a judge, you’ll be held criminally liable for human trafficking.” Everyone involved in these flights should have that fear in the back of their minds.

Absolutely love the one minute tour guy narrative.

Dec: that video where he second guesses himself. “Are influencers distorting reality?”

Jan: Nazis invade the state based off influencer bullshit.

the flower bar, owned by GOP donor andrea corbin who is accepted in centrist DFL circles despite that fact, sprayed a person with a garden hose today for chalking on the sidewalk about corbin’s role in helping to fund republicans as they send ICE into minneapolis during this siege

I would suggest anyone wanting a substack to take a look at ghost.org as it offers the same suite of features with no nazi! Happy to help anyone wanting to make the migration!

There has been no draw down today. ICE snatched someone off Central Ave out of his car because he looked Latino before then letting him go a couple hours later. They were stopping people in Blaine on highway 65, they were all around Fridley, and were in the parking lot of the St Anthony liquor store

Activists Are Fighting ICE Even Though It Could Get Them Killed. Here’s Why. ICE is still trying to subjugate Minneapolis. It's still failing.

This is beautiful. Thank you, @laurajedeed.bsky.social , and thank you to everyone who was interviewed.

It bears repeating that Tom Homan is a fucking psycho and Greg Bovino's exile means functionally nothing when it comes to what's happening on the ground in Minnesota.

The Uptown Association said pre-construction that pedestrianizing Hennepin Ave (adding center medians) would make it impossible to hold the Uptown Art Fair again. We knew that was silly, motivated by knee jerk hostility to a safer street design. So it's nice to see them admit it.

You have to get halfway through this article - whose title implies we’re in a post-Minneapolis situation - to hear from locals or learn the “drawdown” touted in the opening has removed only 700 agents & left 2,000 here.
You don’t have to repeat the desired narrative! Thousands are still in hiding!

Mamdani: "I speak of Renee Good, whose final words to the man who murdered her were, 'I'm not mad at you.' I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger. ICE shot him bc he did something they could never fathom ... let us offer a new path: one of defiance through compassion."

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley.

Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo.

Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles.

Get them out!

US news media's rules on when to use a Black man's photo:

* When a Black man commits a crime? Use his mugshot.

* When a Black man is the victim of a crime? Still use his mugshot.
🤡

* When a Black man has nothing to do with a cop kicking a dog and breaking its rib? Use the Black man's mugshot.

Chughtai, in wide eyed wonder at what she's hearing, responds to idea that the undeserving will exploit rental assistance: if you have income at the level of minimum wage, couldn't pay your rent for whatever reason, and you've been served an eviction notice, you're by definition a person in need.
