Alert: ICE is drawing weapons on legal observers in Minneapolis.

Thanks for making it easy to find.

I've heard from people in other cities "I'd like to see them try that in __!"

No. No, you wouldn't.

We have guns pointed in our faces in MN. I think you'd change your tune if this was happening to you, your family & your neighbors.

Nobody knows EXACTLY how to do this. This is NEW to all of US.

Even my Scottish Presbyterian ancestors came here to escape persecution--the monarchy alternated btw Anglican & Catholic--being Presbyterian was bad. The rich here gave them outlying land so they cld serve as buffers. We all descend from immigrants & there's always been discrimination agnst many

White people are putting Mexican flag stickers on their cars to get pulled over and waste ICE's time.
They call it "ICE fishing."

Other than DHS saying these are the 2, I haven't seen any confirmation. I don't trust DHS not to just throw 2 POC under the bus - has anybody outside DHS confirmed these are the shooters?

Except data shows there aren't that many immigrants who are criminals or gang members; only way to arrest the numbers they're talking about is to pick up hard working ppl, grandmothers, children; it was never abt criminals. The made up propaganda abt immigrants sure swayed the cult tho

So true.

Federal judge blocks Trump's new voter registration requirements

The gov't hasn't ever cared what the people want. It's run by rich puppeteers & kowtows vaguely to popular wishes to the degree necessary to keep getting votes. Until we dramatically change laws re: the hold of the rich on gov't & also boycott them into massive losses, what we want doesn't matter

Mayor Brandon Johnson orders CPD to investigate federal immigration agents for potential prosecution The directive makes Chicago the first city in the nation "to leverage local authority to pursue legal accountability for misconduct" by federal agents, according to the city.

Before I read posts on here today, please tell me which MSM outlet was parked outside “youth pastor” and sometime Speaker Mike Johnson’s home (D.C. townhouse or home in Shreveport) this morning to get his reaction to the Epstein files & the horrifying allegations made in them against the President?

Works for me. The Marie Antoinette verdict.

I think of them as the pro-death antichrist crowd

I love this opinion. Also love the part about upholding the Constitution!

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

It is Black History Month. Don’t let the trump regime down play it.
If you have some history to share we are all here for it.

Live updates: Maine’s Chief U.S. District Court judge orders ICE to release asylum seeker who was arrested without warrant U.S. Sen.

Trump and Vance eliminated funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to prevent reporting on their authoritarian actions like this. One of the best acts of resistance is to donate to public radio.

We vote w/ our $$. Massive organized boycotts r needed. Infiltrating Boards as env grps did w/ Chevron & Exxon is needed. Establishing alternative businesses also needed. Local co-op mvmnt has expanded worldwide for yrs; we need to accelerate. Taxing the rich is a start, bringing them down is better

Here's the time it takes to get utility scale electricity production up and running.

Wind: 6-12 months
Solar: 3-12 months

Natural Gas: 2-3 years
Coal: 4-6 years
Nuclear: 5-12+ years

The Statue of Liberty is edited to appear as though it is performing an acrobatic handstand on its pedestal, holding the torch with its foot against a clear blue sky. Text above reads: “The day it happens.”.

I notice there's no mention of whose civil rights they're concerned about -- why do I have an uneasy feeling they're doing a probe to see if Pretti violated the civil rights of the ICE guys?

The Endgame of Administrative Law: Governmental Disobedience and the Judicial Contempt Power - Harvard Law Review Scholars of administrative law focus overwhelmingly on lawsuits to review federal government action while assuming that, if plaintiffs win such lawsuits, the government will...

I've been reading law review articles in my leisure time--not for fun--but out of sheer, clawing desperation, in pursuit of some shred of hope in this dystopian hellscape. So, thank you Harvard Law for soothing me to sleep at night. Yesterday's reading was harvardlawreview.org/print/vol-13...

A few things every ICE agent needs to know. Truly appreciate @thekoreanvegan.bsky.social There is no such thing as absolute immunity. The statute of limitations on murder is never. Trump can’t pardon state charges. Many ICE are already being sued. ICE agents are buying the BS & they will regret it.

Let's not forget they consider anyone poor to be "not working very hard" even if they're working 2 full-time jobs, both of which are paying 💩wages. Somehow the crappy wages are their fault instead of the fault of the owners/managers who choose to pay nothing. Grind culture b.s.

It’s Time for Colorado to Fix Its Neonic Pesticide Problem The SEED Act would reduce the number one source of neonic pesticide pollution in Colorado by eliminating unnecessary seed coatings.

"Many field crop seeds planted in Colorado are automatically coated with harmful insecticide seed treatments like neonicotinoids (neonics). These neurotoxic pesticides threaten children’s health, contaminate water, and kill vital pollinators." @colorado.gov
