When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.
🎵 It's in the order of their hedgerow - ow - ows... RESPECTABLE STREET was released as a single on this day in 1981! #XTCmusic
Starbucks would rather spend ridiculous amounts on executive salaries, private jets, Bruno Mars concerts for management, and union-busting instead of treating their baristas with respect.
It would cost LESS THAN ONE DAY'S SALES to finalize a fair union contract.
They actually didn't.
if the only thing you'd seen of mayor frey was his "ICE get the fuck out" grandstanding, let this be the second thing - vetoing an eviction pause 🫠
Mayor Frey is actively harming Minneapolis residents.
Halfway thru S1 of The Lowdown, and it’s the best show I’ve seen in years. The definition of “familiar but fresh,” and the writing, directing, and performances are all just phenomenal. Congrats to Harjo, Hawke, and the whole amazing team.
Don’t know if it’s the wildest, but they had a lot of fun meeting Malfreces Nul.
Scene from Hungary tonight as crowds rally against the Russian-backed Orban regime.
This woman, US citizen living in Skokie, was detained at Ohare yesterday, taken to Broadview, then transferred to a detention facility in Wisconsin, now released. We know all this not because of DHS, who repeatedly denied that they even had her, but because her phone was pinging in those locations.
While the surge of federal agents in the Twin Cities grabbed much of the attention the past few months, stories of children hiding at home, crying in class and being detained have quietly gripped some Minnesota small towns since January.
Thank ya!
Happy anniversary, @derekmears.bsky.social @markmcconville.bsky.social @tboz16.bsky.social @mrchristallman.bsky.social and @jonathanmangum.bsky.social. Lookin' forward to the next 50!
Last night, as the party delved further into the Stonehell megadungeon, we hit session 50 of our #OldSchoolEssentials #ttrpg campaign! I'm having an absolute blast as the referee and my players are just the best. #OSR #RPG #necroticgnome
A legal observer in Cold Spring urged us to share that on 2/5, an ICE agent threatened to kill them. The agent purposely stood in front of their car and used the bogus fear of being hit to justify the threat. As the news cycle turns its eye away from MN, we will not forget.
Yeah, UK version is regular folks, rather than reality stars, which makes a huge difference. Some US seasons have been fun, but it's a completely different vibe. The UK Celebs season is for charity, so they got some terrific contestants, and it's not performatively mean-spirited.
There's been a lot of debate within the Democratic establishment about what rhetoric to use via ICE.
Well, an incumbent doesn't lose by 48 percentage points very often—and her vote on collaborating with ICE was the defining issue here.
I'm into it. Especially the UK version/UK celebs.
'Tis.
We saw an uptick in ICE activity today.
ICE continues to be spotted around the metro area - dining, driving, and hiding in between events.
Current vehicles on the short list include Black Chevrolet Tahoes, White or Silver Jeep Wagoneers, and White Ford Transit vans with fake branding.
It gets really good.
You left off “…and we’re taking the following specific, concrete steps to ensure accountability…”
Because you have a plan for this, right?
Lurking around school bus stops during dismissal times. They're still fucking here.
Hahaha… no.
Important 🧵
Today, I received confirmed reports that agents from ICE and HSI forced entry into a residence on the 5200 block of 36th Ave., kicking in the door and detaining a constituent. Witnesses report that 8–9 masked agents carried out the operation. 🧵
THIS.
