I went down the football fan subreddits rabbit hole this morning, and I am utterly gobsmacked. 90+% of the content in the top threads are unabashed FUCK ICE posts, memes mocking the regime, and dudes saying how important it is to come together over something this significant.

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

Immigration is a fake problem. We have politicians on the one hand who want to use immigrants as scapegoats for our real ones and politicians on the other who are too cowardly to stand against them and tell the truth. That is the entire situation. Until that changes, people will continue to die.

Maybe instead of identifying specific ICE agents who do particularly heinous things, we could just penalize everyone who was on payroll at the agency starting by a certain date.

​Newport co-ed cheerleading team is at center of Trump transgender athlete crackdown​Trump admin focuses on swimming, cheerleading in Maine transgender athlete probes The U.S. Department of Education announced a slew of Title IX-related investigations this week that include 2 school districts in Maine.

If anyone was still pretending this isn’t just about excluding trans kids from public life, the Trump administration just opened a Title IX investigation into a Maine school district because a trans student is on a *co-ed* cheerleading squad.

WATCH: Prem Attends Memorial at Scene of Murder in Minneapolis See what Prem saw at the memorial for the 37-year-old mother killed by ICE in Minneapolis, plus interview with Omar Fateh and residents.

We visited Renee Good's memorial.

There, we met a group of Somali Minnesotans β€” who too have been viciously attacked for weeks β€”Β warmly hosting everyone.

Flowers & stuffed animals galore.
Neighbors continually offering sambusas & hand-warmers & water.
Grief. And belief.

Scenes from Minneapolis:

A friend of mine cooked up a flag to show support for strong municipal services and this feels like the perfect emblem of the Mamdani Moment. I absolutely love it.
