It bears repeating that Tom Homan is a fucking psycho and Greg Bovino's exile means functionally nothing when it comes to what's happening on the ground in Minnesota.

One thing that shows you how bad ICE’s tactics are β€” ACTUAL cops are among the most vocal and biting in criticizing them.

Left hand on the ground trying not to hit the pavement; right hand still holding a cell phone. ICE person standing with a one handed grip pointing his gun right at the man’s head.

There is nothing about this that we should accept. We all must reject this. This is our government, & they want this

"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping.

It's time to identify those 23 people and begin the pressure on them. This administration will not stop, even if the courts order it. That much is clear.

Once again, the government is trying to get you to believe your own eyes are lying to you. This was another murder by ICE, an agency that proves day after day it has no business policing on America’s streets.

Fuck this. O'Hara should be demanding they leave. They're making the city more dangerous. MPD's goal is to keep the people of Minneapolis safe.

If you slow video down to 1/2 or 1/4 speed, you can see multiple agents have their guns out while actively fighting with the man on the ground; one of the agents is literally pistol whipping him. This is what happens when you don't train ICE and let an armed goon squad patrol our cities. #AbolishICE

I have watched the video several times and genuinely can't understand why they started shooting. Even if he was armed, owning a gun is legal in the US and it doesn't appear the man being beaten by masked agents was reaching for it. I hope we get to see a ton of these guys go to prison.

I'm really looking forward to hearing from the same people who have spent decades yelling about the Second Amendment that this shooting was somehow justified because the observer (allegedly) had a gun.

It turns out, it was never about *all* of our liberty.

All of my friends back in Minneapolis are posting about how many layers they're putting on to go protest in -15Β° weather today. Some friends I've never seen get out and march. This administration fucked with the wrong state. I'm so damn proud of Minnesota πŸ’™

Highly entertaining thread on the heels of attending a PhD seminar dinner by an expert on developing a new theory of war in London. Pleased to see said expert wasn't mentioned but many of his critiques are!

The choice is impeachment and removal or calamity for the United States. I don't see how anybody watching Trump's speech in Davos can draw any other conclusion. He's a senile madman.

I feel like we're not far off from Trump's DOJ illegally arresting Minnesota Dems, starting with Congresswoman Omar, with rhetoric like this...

Three coffins wrapped in Danish flags are carried by 4-6 soldiers each; a cargo aircraft is in the background

I think a good strategy for your non-leftist social media presence (ie everywhere but here) is to give this photo - the remains of Danish soldiers returning in coffins after being killed in America's war in Afghanistan - as wide an audience as possible. Remind people who we're betraying

Can someone ask the administration if they are aware that Article V of the NATO treaty currently covers Greenland?

Renee Good should still be alive today. DHS, ICE, and CBP should not be acting as masked secret police in our cities, carrying out mass arrests of anyone who appears β€œnot to be a citizen.”Stay strong, Minnesota. Keep peacefully protesting. Keep filming ICE. Keep raising hell. πŸ’™ #AbolishICE

Attended a vigil for Renee Good this evening in Vienna. Minneapolis β€” the place I called home for over ten years β€” will always hold a special place in my heart. It’s where I served as a police officer and worked to make the community safer. Seeing it now resemble a militarized zone is heartbreaking.

REMINDER. β€œTo all ICE officers: You have federal immunity in the conduct of your duties. Anybody who lays a hand on you or tries to stop you or tries to obstruct you is committing a felony. You have immunity to perform your duties, and no oneβ€”no city official, no state official, no illegal alien, no leftist agitator or domestic insurrectionistβ€”can prevent you from fulfilling your legal obligations and duties. The Department of Justice has made clear that if officials cross that line into obstruction, into criminal conspiracy against the United States or against ICE officers, then they will face justice.” @StephenM

Explain to me like I'm five what the 2nd Amendment is for if not for this. King George III never said anything this obnoxious or deliberately inflammatory.

I used to patrol in this district and it's genuinely mind-boggling to me to see so many Minnesotans mobilized immediately in that busy area to run ICE off. I'm so proud of you, Minneapolis. πŸ’™

Needed this with too many of my former local police colleagues saying it was justified. A shooting that wouldn't have been justified under Minneapolis PD's current use of force policy...
