This is simply about persecuting individuals based on a moral panic. And I need the people on the center left who helped whip up the panic to be the loudest denouncing it right now.

Omg so cool!!

This is soviet union shit.
Ok this is a very good joke. And dark. So dark.
That is a very, very good joke though.
I really, truly do not know what to say anymore. Click through to see the post.
Cough, sputter, I thought they were stealing the jobs of hardworking Americans???
You mean a reign of terror isn't good for business, and now we need to retrofit an explanation that contradicts the earlier justification for said assault on both the constitution and human decency?
Half a billion dollars to build concentration camps seems like it should be a MAJOR headline.
Totally. And we need to. Now.
Anne Frank died of dysentery. Do we want to allow this on American soil? And how, for the love of God, do we stop it??
Predicting that this week weβll hear more conciliatory words from the Administration regarding Minnesota (since theyβre starting to realize that ICE has become politically toxic) but everyone outside of Minnesota needs to know that nothing on the ground has changed.

SO WEIRD that this didn't work out the way people thought!!

It's always "not as....but." These spam emails have taught me the tells of AI writing and now I find it such an immediate turnoff when real emails contain it.
Also, it is SO funny to imagine Donna Tartt writing an email.
This is real. So much for free markets, eh?
This sweet baby, I cannot look at this photo without crying.
I am introducing the Cut It Out And This Time I Really Mean It bill. It provides an additional $57 billion to the murder goons but they will agree to wear business casual Monday through Thursday and if they do any murders they have to put a dollar in this jar.
It's Thomas Chatterton Williams that took me out. I was shocked he wasn't in the real lineup.
Come hang out with me in Helsinki #econsky!
God this devastates me. Just complete unnecessary destruction of lives and livelihoods.
It's not quite the most pressing issue at the moment, but the American people absolutely have a right to know the names of the federal officials who shot and killed a man peacefully protesting, who was on his knees, prone in the street when they shot him in the back.
Statistic: 2/3rds of murders in Minneapolis so far in 2026 have been committed by DHS agents
Very well explained. Nonviolent resistance works well because it convinces people on the fence and creates a PR crisis for those in power, as it did during the Civil Rights Movement.
Worse than Kent State, really than any episode I can think of probably dating back to Reconstruc & earlier b/c
1. continuing, not 1 off.
2. organized, not individual ofcrs losing it
3. literally at hand of federal government, which is
4. immediately lying & circling the wagons to prevent inves.
Ha! This is very good.
I'm not one for false optimism. But what I witnessed today in Minneapolis was tremendous, both in scale and exuberance. It was a stunning answer to the federal assault on Minnesota, a show of solidarity that gives us something to hold on to during times that are unforgiving.
The twin cities are a light right now.
A thing that might not be clear from the outside is that while everyone here is engaged in this fight, ICEβs use of dystopian technology means that you essentially have to pick a lane between observing ICE and doing mutual aid. They are tracking observersβ cars, and taking pictures of their faces.
