- Reposted by Ams"ICE guys are pretty miserable. I don’t think morale is particularly high for them. They’re freezing, they’re getting shouted at. They can’t go anywhere without being tailed by 5 cars. They get out and immediately there's a crowd of 100 people shouting at them, blowing whistles as loud as they can."

- Reposted by AmsOperation Metro Surge is not making Minnesota safer. Today's announcement is a step in the right direction, but we need a faster and larger drawdown of forces, state-led investigations into the killings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good, and an end to this campaign of retribution.
- Reposted by AmsOf course. DHS lied again. Right after they murdered Renee Good, they shot a young couple in Portland. Then lied about it. They were *not* gang members. And she wasn’t “involved” in a shooting, she was a victim of sexual assault. apple.news/AeMvL-19yS1S...

- Reposted by AmsSo let’s brainstorm. The whistleblower’s lawyer said this complaint was filed around June 6. That rules Putin and Alaska out. What dumb did shit Trump do prior to June 6 that could cause grave harm to the United States?

- Reposted by AmsI think one thing people outside Minnesota don't understand is that after Good and Pretti were killed by feds while observing, the most normal people you could imagine have made peace with the fact that they could be next, and they are still out there because they say it's the right thing to do.
- “If I am killed doing this, throw my body at the White House, martyr the shit out of me & raise hell. Do not be sad. Do not think I would do anything differently. I would do it over & over again — this is too important to sit down & shut up and not do anything.” www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

- Reposted by AmsMost of the Washington Post’s tech reporters were laid off today, including me. I have loved my time at the paper, which is where I wanted to work from age 15. I take some consolation in not being among the survivors who will have to work harder with less for fewer readers. On to better things.

- Reposted by AmsDemocrats should defund and restrain ICE to the degree possible. And they should insist on this condition at least: No ICE (or Border Patrol) anywhere near the polls or early voting election locations this fall.
- Reposted by AmsAmerica sees the brutal violence ICE and Border Patrol are inflicting on our people and won’t allow it to continue. Trump and Noem underestimate the American people—as they say in Minneapolis, “We’ve got eyes/so stop your lies.”
