Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones.

Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

"All I'm asking is for clarification, who are you and why am I being detained," recalled Romero, who said the men responded: "I'm gonna [expletive] blow your head off" "They kicked me, they punched me, they stepped on me,"she said.

Monsters.

Every white guy who looks like a Trump voter needs to be very clear and open about their beliefs and what's happening in this country. It actually lands harder when it comes out of faces like this.

“…he finally got a dose of medication late Sunday, but that federal authorities have not been giving him his medication at the correct time and they are missing doses.”

Local angle!

This is just part of patrol. ICE threatens you, points guns at you, brutalizes or kills someone in front of you. Every day it's somebody new in our circle. We gather around them while they work through the stress and fear and then, to the person, they go back out.

My friends are so insanely brave.

ICE detainees from Maine being held under ‘inhumane’ conditions in Mass. facility, attorneys say An Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesperson said the allegations of overcrowding and lack of access to lawyers are false.

Concentration camps: stories of as many as 50 people to a cell — men and women in some cases — with no windows and limited airflow, a single camera-monitored toilet, aluminum blankets, no showers and poor quality food.

Text: "Yes, home until I stop shaking then I'm going back out"

Friend who's part of a neighborhood watch group says their car was just surrounded by ICE. Is fine but obviously rattled.

I feel like that must be a real Pagliacci challenge for you! What are your comfort reads?

They abducted this person from Mayo Clinic and not even an elected rep has been able to get them the anti-rejection meds they need to not die AFTER AN ORGAN TRANSPLANT.

Why do I find so many shark’s teeth on the beaches in Florida but none in Oregon?

Just heard back from DHS on why they abruptly expedited Ramos' asylum hearing:

“These are regular removal proceedings. This is standard procedure and there is nothing retaliatory about enforcing the nation’s immigration laws. He will receive full due process."

(This is not standard procedure.)

I would invent a time machine.

It Turns Out Waymos Are Being Controlled by Workers in the Philippines During a Congressional hearing, Waymo's chief safety officer, Mauricio Peña, was grilled over the company's reliance on overseas workers.

Once again, it turns out “fully autonomous” means “a guy in the Philippines.”

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!

And massively untrue!!!

‘I don’t have words’: 2 more kids from Liam Conejo Ramos’ Columbia Heights school taken into ICE custody The children were taken into ICE custody after their mother was detained at a court appointment. School leaders say the mother asked them to bring the kids to the detention center because there were n...

Two children from Liam Ramos' school who were detained by ICE have been released and are back in MN with their mother. Their Columbia Heights principal, who had to deliver the kids to Whipple last week (as described below), picked them up from the airport. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

I think this is all really showing who has actual bedrock principles they believe in, and the answer is that an incredible number of us do. Even if we don’t agree on much else.

Kiddies who made it out of the ICE dungeon report sighting a schoolmate. Before this, the school district had no information on their whereabouts. The family has now been connected with a lawyer.

Youngsters who escape a govt dungeon are the only way to track abducted children? This is fine!

The headline should be, "DHS to keep 2,000 immigration officers in Minnesota."

Instead, it seems the entirety of the traditional media went with, "DHS to withdraw 700 immigration officers from Minnesota."

This presser worked like a charm.

NYT live feed on 2.4.26: 4 hours ago Michael Gold Democrats seem to have softened their demand that federal immigration officers be banned from wearing masks when making deportation arrests. The House minority leader, Representative Hakeem Jeffries, said that the party's position was that "no masks should be deployed in an arbitrary and capricious fashion." Senator Chuck Schumer, the minority leader, said that masks should only be used in "extraordinary" circumstances.

Are you fucking kidding me?!

Not enough. Every single ICE and CBP agent should be out of Minnesota. The terror campaign must stop.

ICE must be abolished.

There was an abduction in front of my apartment this morning. Afterwards, a Hennepin County Sheriff car drove by. Around 10-15 of us screamed at them for help, seeking assistance with the abandoned, window-smashed car. Some ran after them. They continued driving. 😑

#Minneapolis Personal Me: This is so much b.s. This AM, neighbors on my friend’s block foiled a kidnapping despite being assaulted and gassed. A school bus driver had to block the door to keep them from entering the bus while they were at it. 4 legal observers were kidnapped near us yesterday. 😡

In the past week we've learned ICE has secured property to build human warehouses in Merrimack, NH and Williamsport, MD. Just some facts I think bear repeating.

Local ones too. All our County convention reps we elected were pissed af about the Sheriff collaborating with ICE. It’s not just ICE out, it’s tear it all down. It’s we need trials and accountability and consequences and reparations.

No. Holy shit no. We want it GONE. Then we want everyone involved investigated and anyone at DHS who may have committed crimes to face a fair trial in a court of law.

one thing the trump era has made clear, i think, is that the american people themselves are far more committed to the values of our founding documents than our elites

We are so fortunate to have Naomi. 🧵
