Good Lord

The US had to rescue pilots from “no air defense?”

With the news that a second plane, an A10 was shot down (pilot safe) makes me wonder if those recent shipments from Russia to Iran had some new weapons

A few thoughts ahead of the President’s speech tonight.

WAPO: “.. Since the war began Saturday, Russia has passed Iran the locations of U.S. military assets, including warships and aircraft, said the three officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the matter’s sensitivity.”

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide.

This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

Sometimes very hard not to feel like the rest of the country has abandoned Minnesota. We STILL have ICE everywhere. Our schools, businesses, and economy are in profound crisis. But without Bovino here throwing tear gas, much of the country seems to not care at all what’s being done to us.

‘Absolute hell’: Irishman with valid US work permit held by Ice since September Seamus Culleton has been in a detention facility in Texas for nearly five months despite having no criminal record

This is absolutely insane. The sort of Kafka-esque nightmare you would find in a Philip K Dick book set far in the dystopian future. A window on America tumbling into autocracy.

By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet

Isn’t Johnson holding the vote open forever to flip him

Waiting for Comer to subpoena Musk, and literally any other republican in those files.

BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

He publicly said he’s going to “unleash” law enforcement and make them above the law.

Checks number of federal properties bs number of agents.

That math ain’t mathing.

I have a feeling the detainee was not dressed like this.

ICE absolutely tortured and beat this person

Indonesia began running thermal scanners at its major airports, including on the resort island of Bali, after India confirmed two cases of the deadly Nipah virus.

That seems unworkable. . .

While possible, much of their wealth is tied to stock valuations, unlike other countries where it’s pure looting and assets.

Fewer will turn on *us* than you think, because we are still their brothers and sisters and neighbors. Undoubtably some will though.

The likelihood of the US bombing its own economic centers is little to none, it’s self defeating.

The Us has less than a million active duty soldiers, they literally cannot suppress open revolt in even a few of our major cities, much less whole states.

As always, there are more of *us* than them, and unlike other countries, most of us are also armed.

Mercado is doing real work

Minneapolis Public Schools have canceled classes for the rest of the week, citing safety concerns after the fatal ICE shooting, reports of agents harassing students at a nearby high school, and the unrest that followed.

Posts may be a bit more sporadic from me today as my kids are home from school because my city is being brutalized by the federal government to the extent that it's unsafe for schools to be open

If these events don’t get prosecuted they’re going to become much much more common.
