That headline says everything about time, and how it lies to us.
When a baby gets measles and survives, the story is supposed to end there. Fever breaks. Rash fades. Parents exhale. Life resumes. We file it under “childhood illness” inconvenient, scary, but over.
“We are watching one of the wildest things a nation-state has ever done," journalist Garrett Graff wrote: "A superpower … suicide because the [Repub] Congress is too cowardly to stand up to the Mad King. This is one of the wildest moments in all of geopolitics ever.”

There are Rapid Response groups not just in Minneapolis. There are hundreds more throughout the state!

Stand strong, Massachusetts!
Thinking that Voter ID wouldn’t be so bad? Think again—it’s the route to suppresing the vote. Have a listen! joycevance.substack.com/p/the-pernic...
Something important to understand about ICE thugs in the Twin Cities is that they're harassing innocent kids and parents at bus stops and schools every single day. Even after the Pretti shooting. It's terrorism.
I get it. I’m told I scream during the night.
They lie, and they lie, and they lie. And they kill peaceful people in the street and then lie about it.
This week brought a stunning revelation about the Trump administration co-ordinating with election deniers to put voters’ personal data at risk. And Democracy Docket played a key role in pushing the story forward. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Since July, I've tracked at least 2,300 cases in which federal judges have ruled ICE has illegally detained people without bond or due process.
This is one that stands out:

Holy shit.
Quote from 1984: “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”
What lying fucks they all are.
NYT video analysis:
- Officers weren’t aware Alex Pretti had a gun until they pinned him on the ground
- An agent had already removed his gun when two other agents opened fire
- They shot him 10 times in the back as he lay on the ground
Let the MN BCA investigate now.
They think they can provoke us into abandoning our values. They are wrong. We will keep the peace. We will secure justice for our neighbors. And we will see this occupation end.
Mayor Frey highlighting that Trump admin lawlessness is taken for granted.
Q: They defied a search warrant this morning. Think they'll abide court order from a federal judge?
Frey: Everybody listen to the question: will this admin abide by a court order?

Thank you!
Don’t be afraid to call a thing a thing.
“You don’t want to watch it” is true. It is brutal.
But if you have any doubt about what ICE and Trump’s other federal goons are doing you MUST watch it. Then try to justify it.
ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city.
If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.
The federal government continues to assault and kill peaceful observers in Minnesota. It. Must. Stop.
ICE executed someone in the street outside the donut shop but it has not slowed down their active raids on homes and businesses in neighborhoods all around the cities so please be vigilant.
A running tally of who Trump’s DOJ is investigating:
- Governor Walz
- AG Ellison
- Mayor Frey
- Mayor Her
- Cty Atty Moriarty
- School board member
- Civil rights advocate
- Spouse of ICE shooting victim
And who it’s not:
- Agent who shot and killed Renee Good
Minnesota stands with Maine!! #IceOut!!
Easily thousands roaring "ICE out!"
