little item for the Senate Dems to ponder: which of the reforms you’re currently floating is going to stop this?
Not enough. Every single ICE and CBP agent should be out of Minnesota. The terror campaign must stop.
ICE must be abolished.
whoever figures out a way to bundle independent journalism subscriptions will be a hero
i know that this is an unpopular take, but everyone starting their own newsletter as a revenue stream is not a sustainable model for writing and reporting or for people who love and want to pay for media.
I got in SO MUCH trouble for this hugely viral tweet back in 2018 (from MAGA types mostly) but I stand by it (and in fact at the time the Auschwitz Museum defended me when people yelled at me that Auschwitz was a “death camp” not a concentration camp). My DENTIST congratulated me for this one
In case anyone thinks OP is exaggerating the point
if the whole genocide thing wasn't enough for you, another good reason to get AIPAC money out of democratic politics is that the organization now exists to move republican donor money into democratic races to sow chaos and get the most republican-friendly democrat elected
INBOX: Washington Post Ukraine Correspondent Lizzie Johnson announces that she has been laid off in the middle of a below-freezing war zone without power, heat, or running water.
worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

Democrats 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.
Steve Bannon,
"We're gonna have ICE surround the polls...We'll never again allow an election to be stolen."
the wapo bloodbath once again proves that our wealthy and powerful deserve neither their wealth or power
watch us, bitch
This is an absolute threat. “You’re not going to stop ICE. You’re not going to stop Border Patrol.”
Said with the cool casual tone of a sociopath.
The cycle from Amazon killing bookstores to Bezos axing the books section of the Post is something
[Not loaded yet]
Bezos isn't destroying the Washington Post because it isn't profitable. He's destroying the Washington Post because he's calculated that a robust free press threatens the ability of his class to warp society around their interests
always bears repeating that this is NOT a financial decision. jeff bezos is worth over 250 billion dollars. he can afford to lose many millions and never even notice it. this is, at its core, a political and personal decision by bezos to destroy the post
WASHINGTON (AP) — Washington Post says one-third of its staff across all departments, not just the newsroom, is being laid off.
After paying $40M for the Melania movie, Bezos is firing hundreds of Washington Post reporters who tell us actual facts.
All while turning the editorial board into a billionaire-defense operation.
Too often, the billionaires who control our biggest media outlets are selling out our country.
Oh NOW they have a fuckin opinion, huh?
From the Editorial Board: Kat Abughazaleh made a show of declining (sending a spokesman, for goodness sake) to be part of the editorial board’s endorsement interviews after first informing us she would attend.

This is unreal. An AUSA talking like that in open court is about as close as you can come to a total breakdown. Never heard of anything like it.
Can comfirm from MN, as can anyone who lives here, that not a THING has changed except little Bovino isnt peacocking around the streets anymore. And there hasn’t been a third high-profile murder of a white person yet.
But the gestapo attacks haven’t stopped. At all!
bsky.app/profile/jyse...ICE hasn't stopped brutalizing people or shredding the Constitution, it's just that corporate media turned the camera as the call for action got too loud and the Democrats stepped in and made sure the issue got changed.
If you sit for a second, you'll recognize that's what happened with BLM, too.
ice is killing americans and democrats are still voting for trump's nominees
By a vote of 54-40, the
#Senate confirmed the nomination of David Clay Fowlkes to be United States District Judge for the Western District of Arkansas.
Dems voting in favor: Durbin, Hassan, Kaine, Shaheen, and Whitehouse.
Not one more penny for this brutality.
Congress needs to grow a spine and stand up to this regime.
If you are represented by Democrats — call them.
If you are represented by Republicans — call them. They need to hear from you too.

Federal agents launch tear gas at nonviolent anti-ICE protesters in Portland—including children
The city's mayor Keith Wilson said that it was a “peaceful daytime protest” that “posed no danger to federal forces.”
Cassidy said he was "not hopeful" that the Trump administration would significantly alter its immigration enforcement operations despite the arrival of Homan.
"I think we would be fools in any way to step down. We would be absolute fools," he said. "It is, at best, a Trojan horse."

This is one of the most important cases that galvanized Black people in the late 40s through the 1950s. Almost every major Black leader had a comment about it. It is also one of the most successful defense committees that was organized in the 20th century. Almost no one knows about it today.

Even if you don't have time to read all 83 pages of Judge Reyes's opinion barring the Trump administration from rescinding Temporary Protected Status for 350,000+ Haitians, please at least check out the four-page introduction.
It's a tour de force:
storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...My current cozy little hobby is reading up on the Nuremberg trials.
One of the key things they did was use Nazi officials' braggadocious speeches as evidence.
Give a speech taking credit for annexing Austria? Ok, that'll be a conviction for annexing Austria.
As a Springfield, Ohio resident, I'm particularly touched that Judge Reyes used a screenshot of Kristi Noem'sTwitter feed 🤣
They want us working earlier and til we die to pay for their tax cuts for the rich. Supervillains.

A white man in Dillard, Oregon was arrested for stopping people on the freeway to demand at gunpoint that they tell him if they were citizens. He shot and missed one + attempted to get another in his truck to bring to police. Before his spree, he called local PD to complain about "foreign" people.

Predicting that this week we’ll hear more conciliatory words from the Administration regarding Minnesota (since they’re starting to realize that ICE has become politically toxic) but everyone outside of Minnesota needs to know that nothing on the ground has changed.
Definitely seems like they destroyed the country on purpose.

The Israeli genocide of Palestinians in Gaza has not stopped. On Saturday, Israeli military airstrikes across Gaza killed at least 32 Palestinians, including six children, in one of its worst assaults during the so-called ceasefire.
House Democrats must vote ‘no’ on DHS funding tomorrow. Our country is in the middle of a five alarm fire, and we must act like it.
While ICE agents are killing Americans in the street and using five year old children as bait, we should not give that agency another dime.

From FB regarding Pizza Luce in Minnesota.
I like it when I can do something to help people displaced by ICE and then after I do that thing I get to eat a pizza.
ICE was stealing equipment from the Islip Long Island fire department and a Islip Forward member documented it. ICE tried to arrest the community member but the firemen said “I don’t think so”
www.islipforward.orgAmerica's Sleeping Giant roared when police attacked civil rights marchers.
And when Nixon tried to cover up Watergate.
Today it roars in Minneapolis and around the country — at the jack-booted thugs occupying our cities.
