“Homan’s announcement hasn’t yet translated to actual change. Audrey said the town saw an exceptional amount of ICE activity on Thursday, the day of Homan’s announcement.”

They do this in Chicago. They do this in LA. Nothing has changed. Just wolves picking off people away from the city herd.

The same day DHS announced the surge would end in Minnesota, ICE activity increased in small towns The less densely populated areas outside the Twin Cities make it harder for protesters and observers to organize.

There is no drawdown. There is no retreat. ICE is just redistributing their assets to better avoid accountability.

I don’t think anyone acquainted with the Epstein files can deny that the Republican Party is sincerely committed to putting children to work.

Don’t Believe The Hype: Masked Federal Immigration Agents Are Still Terrorizing Minnesotans “Some people may have breathed a sigh of relief when Bovino was pulled and replaced by Homan, but many educators did not,” said a teachers’ union president. “The agenda is still the same.”

I think (and hope) this is right

I'm sorry but invading a foreign country for no reason and slaughtering thousands of people actually is "worse." Please do not give this war criminal a free pass on President's Day

No, ICE isn’t ‘retreating.’ It’s loading up to invade your town. | Will Bunch A much-hyped ICE pullback from Minneapolis is a blip in a looming nationwide surge of arrests, concentration camps.

While MLPS was a victory, moral and tangibly, for ICE resisters, don't call it 'a retreat.' The dystopia is just getting started

Thousands of new agents. 150 new offices in every state. And the nationwide gulag archipelago. The fight has just begun

Epstein Used Botstein’s Prestige and Connections to Recruit and Support One of His Victims, a Violinist from Europe - The Daily Catch Jeffrey Epstein utilized his burgeoning relationship with Bard College President and American Symphony Orchestra Conductor Leon Botstein in 2013 to procure perks for a young violinist who ultimately b...

A young violinist was nervous about meeting with Jeffrey Epstein due to his 2008 child sex abuse conviction. Epstein reassured her by noting his friendship with @bardcollege.bsky.social’s Leon Botstein, and set up a dinner between Botstein and the musician. She soon became one of Epstein’s victims.

"I never want to see a child run away from our own government ever again"

i need to admit something. the more i think about how many of our problems are downstream of a very small number of ppl and organizations hoarding all the wealth and power, the less interested i am in discussions of american democracy that prefer to focus on anything else.

Ari Drennen @AriDrennen Follow The high trust neighborhoods that MAGA yearns for exist all over America, and they're all like D+40 nxthompson A @nxthompson •22h An extraordinary paragraph. buff.ly/uH5ykhX The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they're the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesivebecause of its diversity and not in spite of it. Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority. Minnesotans have preserved everything worthwhile about "Western civilization," while armed brutes try to tear it down by force.

This is so spot on

I would like to see EVERY SINGLE WOMAN vote against every single repub who votes for the "Save (the vote for white men only) Act" to take their vote away! I realize that MAGAt wives/women have never voted in their best interests & aren't going to start now, which I'll never understand! #velshi

Broken bones, burning eyes: How Trump's DHS deploys 'less lethal' weapons on protesters Federal immigration officers have repeatedly used force in ways that appear to violate their own policies or general policing guidelines, NBC News found.

“I’ve never seen federal agents so out of control and acting in such a malicious manner,” a former federal prosecutor and federal judge said. “They said they were going after ‘the worst of the worst,’ then they became the problem.

Newly released body camera footage shows Border Patrol agents swerving their car into the Chicago woman before shooting her five times.

There it is: one of the first times anyone in the Trump admin has admitted that protestors & bystanders are legally permitted to protest & document DHS activity.... Just two days ago, this same crowd spent hours claiming DHS agents have been "under attack" in MSP & beyond...

And now Gail Slater, the chief antitrust enforcer at DOJ, has just resigned, a prelude to this settlement happening. Slater was cut out of the negotiations with MAGA lobbyists on the Live Nation case.
DOJ is just a corrupt shell at this point.

Trump told Palm Beach police chief ‘everyone’ knew about Epstein, Maxwell was ‘evil’ The new information comes as Ghislaine Maxwell was summoned to appear Monday before a Congressional committee.

Epstein document refutes Donald Trump’s claim he had no clue about sex offenses.

The lying is out of control. People need to go to prison. | Will Bunch The outrageous lies of Trump regime, from ICE shootings to a Commerce Secretary's Epstein falsehoods, must be punished.

The utter BS fictions from DHS about every ICE shooting. Howard Lutnick's preposterous Epstein fib, and much more

Government lying isn't just bad. It's unconstitutional, and much of it is felony perjury. The next admin needs to send the liars to jail
