There are reports the man shot by ICE died - and that ICE attempted to get state officers to leave the scene, but the state officers are trying to stay to preserve the crime scene.

You resisted.
You bestowed the eternally vigilant symbol of change by sacrificing your impassioned lives for freedom, justice and honour.

Rather than comforting ourselves with things that didn’t happen, we should be asking questions that actually strengthen our resilience.

i was talking with someone in the twin cities about how it’s not even accurate to call them protesters. they’re literally just people protecting their city from TERRORISTS.

Homeland Security & @DHSgov X.com Law enforcement uses 'reasonable suspicion' to make arrests, as protected under the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The Supreme Court has already vindicated us on this position. A person's immigration status makes them a target for enforcement, not their skin color, race or ethnicity. @TriciaOhio

DHS getting basic 4th Amendment law wrong on its official Twitter account.

Seems like this post is bound to show up as an exhibit in one of the cases challenging ICE/Border Control enforcement actions.

graph showing the top 10% now account for about 48% of consumer spending. the bottom 80% collectively account for about 37%

The top 10% now account for nearly half of all consumer spending.

When I lecture to students about how the apparently thriving economy of the 1920s was really a house of cards just waiting to be knocked down, one of the points I stress is how much a small number of the very rich were essentially propping up consumer spending in unsustainable ways

hard not to notice that as trump's polls crater and gop gets crushed in election after election, news orgs are not racing around hiring progressive commenters and boasting about how they're reaching out to real americans by following the will of the volk.

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.

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

Pentagon readies 1,500 soldiers to possibly deploy to Minnesota, officials say Soldiers with the Army’s 11th Airborne Division in Alaska have been placed at the ready following Trump’s Insurrection Act threat, according to defense officials.

They are going to do it.

Do we need to say it louder? Here. Louder.

I suspect many great candidates, especially neurodivergent candidates, will be rejected by graduate admissions committees going off of vibes to decide whether a candidate is human enough for their programs.

Four GOP Senators.

Together they could stop nearly all the mad-king's rampages. They would be known to history as Profiles in Courage. They might/would lose the next election. But people have sacrificed a lot more, for a lot less.

Yard signs on display

Given the timing, we consider this to be targeted harassment as punishment for exercising our First Amendment rights.

Keep resisting, Minnesota. We love you.

I mean I *knew* that the whole plan was for Machado to go to the White House and physically give Trump her Nobel Prize and yet I still feel like I’m disassociating that it happened.

Noem says that virtually anyone could face a Kavanaugh stop Trump started off the day with an Insurrection Act threat. DHS Sec. Noem followed up by saying that anyone "surrounding" any DHS target has to prove their legal status.
