In Minneapolis werden so viele Menschen von der Einwanderungsbehรถrde ICE mitten auf der StraรŸe aus ihren Autos geholt, dass ein Abschleppverbot verhรคngt wurde.

Oh hey, I finally watched this. Good segment, Greg did a good job. So wild to keep seeing people I know in the news or go viral (& then go on the news) during all of this.

Though Amelia says "food shelters" at the end which I don't think is a thing. ๐Ÿ˜‚

US protesters banged pots and pans all night outside a heavily secured hotel in Minnesota where they believed Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino was staying.

Bovino has reportedly been reassigned, after one of his agents shot and killed US citizen Alex Pretti on Saturday.

just gonna throw out a quick reminder that in America police kill a yearly average of 3 civilians per day, routinely in situations very similar to these ICE killings, and decades of explicit support for police impunity by US politicians is why ICE feels theyre able to get away with this right now

Frey is a useless neoliberal clod, but even a broken clock is right twice a day.

The United States does not have "that kind of time."

A threads post from @pearlomania: 365 days ago in America, you didn't need to carry a passport to prove your citizenship to armed masked men who refuse to identify themselves. 365 days ago in America, you didn't wonder if your city would be targeted for violent invasion by the President of the United States. 365 days ago in America, you didn't have to worry about what you posted online before you passed through customs to return home from a flight

Germany was supposed to be all-electric by 2035 but they just repealed that law.

German automakers can't figure out why they're lagging behind the competition.

It's ... something ... to see protests in MN from here. Pictures of neighborhoods I know, streets I recognize, even individual houses I've driven past. Recognizing Midwest fury in the nuance of language. Recognizing flashpoints & wondering how history will rhyme this time.

Hey, a quick hint for anyone trying to follow the news in Minneapolis from out of state: if you add ?utm_source=gift to any Star Tribune URL, it'll let you read it.

I watched the opening debate for the 2026 budget in Germany's Bundestag today. Most of the parties are at least arguably on the same planet... except for AfD, who have embraced the worst aspects of Reaganomic xenophobia and think that the Star Trek Mirror Universe is too soft.

"Antifa" ist keine einzelne Organisation. Das Wort bedeutet "antifaschistisch". Wer das versteht, versteht dass die USA zu einen faschistisches Regierung werden.

Der Grund dafรผr, dass Deutschland nicht die KZ-lagern in den USA widerspricht ist ganz einfach: in Deutschland gibt es genau desselbe Migrationspolitik als in der USA. Fremdfeindlichkeit ist Teil des Faschismus. #KeinBockAufNazis #BewegungsfreiheitIstMenschenrecht

Neues US-Abschiebegefรคngnis "Alligator Alcatraz" in Florida Die US-Regierung hat gegen alle Einwรคnde mitten in den Everglades in Florida ein neues Abschiebegefรคngnis bauen lassen. Die Botschaft an Migranten ist klar: Wer freiwillig ausreist, muss nicht dorthin...

"Alligator Alcatraz" ist ein Konzentrationslager. Aber die deutsche Presse nennt es als "Abschiebegefรคangnis". Warum? Weil um die Wahrheit zu erkennen, muss Deutschland zuerst mit Ihr Fremdfeindlichkeit selbst rechnen.

Depends on a whole bunch of factors. I've met Muslims who, given the power, would stone me for being trans. I've also met Muslims who unflinchingly step up in defense of trans people. Muslims are exactly as much a monolith as Christians. Ignoring this upholds Christian nationalism and colonialism.

Wealth doesn't trickle down.
It bubbles up, like the fizz in soda.
Taxing the rich is like putting flat pop through the SodaStream. You revive the drink/economy but the bubbles still percolate back up to the top and you eventually have flat pop again.

Anybody wanna take bets on whether Johnny Noviello's skin tone passes the brown-bag test? Because I guarantee you this isn't even remotely the first death of a person in ICE custody.

I note that people of sufficient wealth will always have the means to shape-shift their nationality at whim. It's one reason conservatives support strong borders: to gatekeep access to political capital.

Why vape when you can annoy EVERYONE in court by taking massive technicolor bong hits between songs? He'd probably have an F-you hand set aside specially for when Salieri was around.
