Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Economic Response Fund Grant Guidelines Small businesses in Minnesota that have experienced operational disruptions in recent weeks may now apply for emergency financial support through the Economic Response Fund.

I'm going to promote the heck out of this:

The Minneapolis Foundation has $4 million in grants available to small businesses for everything from rent and payroll costs to legal help and temporary relocation.

TONIGHT: Organizers in Minnesota are asking you to shine a light for their state.

Leading up to that.. Eric Lee Atty
Kids screaming "Let us out! Let us out!"

There's a prison revolt at a concentration camp in Texas in solidarity with Minneapolis:

This guy was a nurse. From what I can see, he was out there helping people. That isn't terrorism. In the military, we call these types of people things like PJs and corpsman and medic. He had a PHONE in his hand. They had him subdued and was beating the shit out of him before they killed him.

One thing that irks me: people keep calling the folks on the streets in Minneapolis protestors. They are not generally there to protest, they are there to observe and document. This is the product of organizing and mutual aid. It is telling that these acts of citizenship are seen as protest!

Both of Nevada's senators--Catherine Cortez Masto and Jacky Rosen--have officially come out against the DHS funding bill following the execution of Alex Pretti by ICE agents in Minneapolis this morning. This effectively ends the DHS funding bill in the Senate.

NYT headline: "Videos Appear to Contradict Federal Accounts of Fatal Shooting"

No. They do not "appear to" contradict it. They contradict it.

But not Starbucks, who won't agree to let us keep ICE out of our stores. Shame!

Arrests calmly ongoing.

This is going to take a while. There are a lot of clergy risking arrest.

I was on the ground during the LA occupation. I got tear-gassed the first day while handing out water.

Angeleno resistance succeeded despite being very fragmented. If we had been this organized, ICE wouldn’t have stood a chance.

This is the platonic ideal of solidarity. This is how we win.

Happening now: From Target HQ in Minneapolis hundreds of clergy ask Target to be good neighbors and Support the 4th Ammemdment stop Cooperating with ICE!

Action by Interfaith Alliance 👏👏👏 #ICEOUTforGood #AbolishICE

Tens of thousands of demonstrators filling the streets with signs and banners

Demonstrators as far as the eye can see. Current status of the march in Downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota for Ice Out of Minnesota. They are turning onto 3rd Street from 5th Avenue.

ICE agents to begin checking documents at MSP airport, patrol jet bridges - Minneapolis / St. Paul Business Journal U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents will begin checking documents of travelers and workers at MSP airport, with patrols inside jet bridges.

It’s been reported locally, but I’m not sure how much national notice this has gotten. As part of this invasion by shithead goons, they are putting ICE agents in jetbridges and other parts of the airport at Minneapolis-Saint Paul. If you are flying Delta via MSP, you are putting yourself at risk.

The destruction doesn't make for a photo-op like tearing down the East Wing of the White House or bulldozing the Rose Garden, but it's every bit as bad. Generations of American children learned to spell and count, learned the Preamble to the Constitution, from watching shows produced by the CPB.

Excerpts of former Special Counsel Jack Smith's closed-door statement to House Judiciary Committee just now:

"If asked whether to prosecute a former President based on the same facts today, I would do so regardless of whether the President was a Republican or Democrat"

C: Possibly

After the 2024 election, a lot of elected Dems talked about the need to build alternative independent media platforms. My response was that they already exist, but elected Dems don’t support them by going on as guests - only doing legacy media. 2025 has been significantly better.

It’s a joke for Trump, Vance, Witkoff and anyone else to even remotely suggest that Putin wants peace and Ukraine is the problem.

Massive defeat for Mike Johnson. Still has to clear the senate, but this is what Dems wanted all along. Johnson has essentially lost control of the gavel after Epstein and now this. Weakest speaker in history.

218 members signed the discharge petition to force a vote to extend ACA tax credits.

If Speaker Johnson refuses to bring forth the vote, he’s telling the American people loud and clear that rising health care costs are acceptable to him.

Narrator: He has lost control of the House

When I think about NCAR, I don't think "climate research". It's related because WEATHER IS A PRODUCT OF CLIMATE. If you're studying the weather, you're effectively also studying the climate.

This is what I think of:

Tonight’s #TN07 special election contest between Matt Van Epps (R) and Aftyn Behn (D) was supposed to be a formality for the GOP, but Behn has made significant inroads, and that has made the GOP and Donald Trump very nervous.
