In the video of the incident, she also appears to approach the man who came at her, apparently ready to smack him. Her posture, physical and otherwise, didn’t surprise people who know her. In the past, when people have gotten in her face, a source familiar with the matter says, she…

LOL. Despite this being a Harris+71 seat, Democrat Meg Luger-Nikolai won tonight by a *91-point* margin. Easily one of the wildest overperformances we’ve ever seen, given the district’s deep, deep blue lean.

Also, READ THE ARTICLE. There was no evidence this was “a hit” or “an assassination.” DHS was collecting the names of protesters, of which he was one. I really can’t overemphasize how irresponsible it is to spin up conspiracy theories around this.

Screenshot of an X.com post by The Associated Press (@AP) stating that dozens of immigrant families protested for better treatment behind fences at a Texas detention facility, where a 5-year-old Ecuadorian boy and his father were sent after being detained in Minnesota. Below is a video thumbnail showing a crowd gathered outdoors along a fenced walkway; many people wear bright blue or red outerwear, and some hold signs.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

Wow— “Cardinal Tobin told hundreds of faithful gathered online that now is the time to say no — no to violence, no to indifference, and no to funding the U.S. government’s own “machinery of death.”

Bovino’s retirement needs to be a cage. His command environment yielded Renee Good’s death, Alex Pretti’s death & Julio Sosa-Celis’ shooting. Failure to prosecute Bovino & everyone else materially responsible for these atrocities will be understood by ICE, CBP, etc as a green light for the next ones

Aside From That, Mr. Cook, What Did You Think of the Movie? Let them eat popcorn...

Hours after Alex Pretti was executed, Apple's Tim Cook went to the WH for the debut of the Melania 'documentary'

His taste and his timing disgust me.

I won't pretend I'm giving up the laptop I'm writing this on, but I'm not buying more of their stuff anytime soon.

The 2029 Pretti Good Act will establish a commission to identify all agents, create a detailed accounting of all acts, and hold criminally liable as necessary. Agents who voluntarily and truthfully disclose will be granted some leniency, provided their crimes did not include murder or torture.

Historians believe the ‘Mini-polis’ or ‘small-city’ to be an allegorical or metaphorical place, possibly an agglomeration of several different cities, given the unlikelihood of so many significant events occurring rapidly in such a small place.

Even when there’s no accountability, the record matters. Credit to the Wikipedia editors maintaining this page.

Poetry, eh?

I've been fascinated by this since Trump 1.0, but this article is intellectual/ideological history, whereas the simpler and obvious explanation is Trumpism is a giant magnet and money spigot with a DEI of its own. Being nonwhite gets you easy influence/money. Do they even know why they're doing it?

The Escalating Race to Redistrict: Your Questions Answered How are the new maps changing the midterms? Would proportional representation help? Why are courts not doing more? You asked, and we’ve got answers about mid-decade redistricting.

Congress could mandate that states use proportional representation, with parties getting a number of seats proportional to their share of the vote. Advocates are already pushing for some states to experiment with this reform.

Minnesota, like all the regime does, is a trial balloon and a message. Thank you to the absolute heroes who are putting their bodies on the line for all of us.

The shadow cabinet idea was a great idea and should have been implemented a year ago. Would have presented an organized, unified response to the chaos, issue by issue, by people with expertise.

$1 BILLION per nation to stay on the Gaza “Peace Board” — with Trump controlling the money.

Obscene, indefensible corruption. Monetizing the slaughter. There is no bottom. finance.yahoo.com/news/trump-w...

Congress can stop ICE. Congress can block the use of force in Greenland. In other words, in this crisis, Congress can act to support civil liberties at home and free nations abroad. To fail to act would be to be complicit in a dreadful outcome.

Have helped guard a local mosque during their Friday prayers.

Been very cold but Somali restaurant offers us delicious, warm tea constantly.

Members expressed much gratitude & confidence this ugly time will pass.

We're at the Caligula stage of presidential madness

This should become iconic. Kafka meets Dante.

Opinion | I'm a Minneapolis sociologist who studies violence. Here's how ICE observers are helping. Research into how violence occurs shows that disapproval from the people around you can help reduce it.

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention.

The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.

Any DoJ attorney who participates in this investigation should suffer professional and social shunning that makes it effectively impossible to continue to work as an attorney.

In this age of enforced disenconfoundment I appreciate a bit of confoundment.

@vermontgmg.bsky.social:

State investigators have been on the scene in North Minneapolis.

I know you’re angry. I’m angry. What Donald Trump wants is violence in the streets.

But Minnesota will remain an island of decency, of justice, of community, and of peace.

Don’t give him what he wants.

The absence of any public pushback from the Republican Party on a situation as insane as Trump is rapidly reaching on Greenland is itself a huge sign of how far gone the US already is.

One thing to keep in mind about American news media is that a lot of local reporters at Fox affiliate stations just do their jobs, and sometimes do so very well.

The Murdochs don’t control them, and probably couldn’t care less about them

The most bizarre thing is that this seems to be a war crime wholly for the sake of demonstrating your willingness to do war crimes. It’s not like some dinky little boat was going to shoot down or outrun a military jet. It’s a pure expression of contempt for rules governing conflict.

i hope all the people resisting ICE on the ground know how fucking inspiring they are. minneapolis right now, and chicago and LA and charlotte and DC and portland before them, you’re setting the blueprint for the future battles sure to come. thank you.

*bad at -- I left the typo on purpose....
