Thanks for the link

Ellison: "The Bondi letter reveals what this is all about. This is not about fraud and it's not even about immigration, and it's certainly not about law enforcement. It's about handing over documents of the state of Minnesota, private information, including voting information, to the federal govt."

Thanks for sharing this.

Maybe you hit your head playing soccer. I just can't imagine such a thing as a Rivian doing truck things

As it happens, Alex Pretti apparently had a carry permit. THAT DOESN'T MATTER, because he *didn't draw a gun.* Even had he possessed an illegal gun, this would still be murder. His alleged gun is a DHS red herring; it doesn't matter. We do not need to debate it one way or other.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

White. Hot. Rage.

They pepper sprayed him before tackling him. You can see the ICE agent pull his gun and start firing.

I think that is the current reality right down to the smallest library in the world.

A purpose of human life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whoever is around to be loved.

Hours after ICE toured a Kansas City warehouse, council blocks federal detention center permits On Thursday morning, officials from the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement toured a warehouse in south Kansas City with aims to hold detainees there. By the afternoon, city lawmakers put in place a measure to stop such detention centers from being approved.

It's not clear if federal officials can build one anyway.

There's been at least 3 instances now where Trump has done this. Once with a DM meant only for Bondi's eyes, once reading aloud a note handed to him by Rubio, and now this. You cannot trust POTUS to have a discretion on anything.

And that's without mentioning his knuckledraggers below him who

How Trump Doomed the American Auto Industry - The American Prospect Ford and GM made a big bet on electrification. Then Trump plunged a knife into their backs.

Canada's EV deal with China shows how U.S. belligerence is driving allies away. It also is stranding the once-powerful U.S. auto industry, now doomed to make domestic gas guzzlers and exist as a footnote globally. @ryanlcooper.com reports:

Editorial Board Editorial | Minnesota is under siege. This cannot stand. ICE presence has disrupted all aspects of life in Minnesota, and led tragically to the death of Renee Good. It’s the outcome of government overreach that favors force over legitimacy. Editorial Board The Minnesota Star Tribune January 14th at 1:49 pm GMT-6

"Battalions of armed federal agents are moving thru neighborhoods, transit hubs, malls & parking lots & staging near churches, mosques & schools. Strangers w/guns have metastasized in spaces where daily life should be routine & safe... like a military occupation."

I am not exaggerating when I say ICE functions as a terrorist organization in the Twin Cities. The goal seems to be to harass and frighten people (the ones who are lucky enough to not be abducted, at least) and it's deeply unsettling when you learn they're in your neighborhood.

.@DAGToddBlanche: “It’s a crime — and so they will face a jury. If they’re convicted, they will go to prison… every single American should be enraged and heartbroken at what happened yesterday in that church.

Blanche won’t investigate the killing of an innocent woman on camera but they’ve got all hands on deck for a church service being interrupted

It's gorgeous either way.

The entire world knows we have a president who's mentally ill. When are we as a nation going to start talking about that?

I like the Old Man Mountain Elkhorn rack. It pretty much fits everything either end of the bike. Right now it's on the front of my A-C Super Pro with a basket.

I can't say this loudly enough: THEY ARE TRYING TO NORMALIZE THE KILLING OF CIVILIANS FOR PARTICIPATING IN FIRST AMENDMENT PROTECTED PROTEST ACTIVITIES.

Imagine how much grace you would need to muster to issue Becca Good's statement just days after someone murders your wife right in front of your eyes, and then imagine the kind of human slime that would have a reaction like Katie Miller's.

Renee Good’s legacy.

She was murdered by ICE, Trump’s fascist regime.

I think it is probably a bad idea to put clearly unhinged, angry psychopaths in federal law enforcement positions.

These are the kind of rage-filled people hiding behind masks and given weapons by the Trump regime. They are a danger to public safety and don't belong in any kind of law enforcement position. But that's what dog killer Kristi Noem and her depraved boss want. Sickening and unacceptable.

Another liar. The ICE agents prevented a local physician from attending to her while she was slumped over in the car after being shot.

Kyle Rittenhouse was an honored guest at a 2024 gathering of Oregon Republican activists. This is the monstrously depraved tweet he sent tonight. These are the people who claim to be defending Christianity and “western civilization.”

Posts may be a bit more sporadic from me today as my kids are home from school because my city is being brutalized by the federal government to the extent that it's unsafe for schools to be open
