Guys I volunteered to donate skymiles to get folks home after they’re released from detention. My first person got home last night and I am just over here like 🥹😭 One way flights are often under 50k miles. They don’t need to be skymiles either. Please consider. www.standwithminnesota.com/skymiles

Morning ☕ 📚 Jill Sprecher's CLOCKWATCHERS (1997) • Now playing on the Criterion Channel!

Happening now in the grittiest part of Uptown: residents of a senior building waving anti maga, anti billionaire signs, getting supportive honks from drivers on Hennepin Ave. They're out here weekly. One said he's ready to phone bank for Nov now that primary is over.

All these people need to be prosecuted.

Mara Abolish I.C.E.@mauratwit.bsky.social · 3w ago

There are doctors working for ICE. Nurses working for ICE. Expected behavior from Nazi cop rejects, but healthcare workers. Devastating. Abolish ICE. Close the camps.

These ghouls don’t care about the W or women’s sports more generally, and they certainly don’t care about women and girls. Trans women pose no threat to me as a cis woman, but these weirdos and their pinched, stifling understanding of gender sure as hell do.

I think it's good and cool, actually, that Anders Folk is running to be the guy in charge of prosecuting ICE agents while taking money from the lawyer defending ICE agents.

I wrote about how immigration arrests are at all-time highs, even as ICE is trying to assume a lower public profile. How are they doing this? Look to your local police.

ICE’s Secret Weapon Is in Your Community

While attempting to maintain a relatively lower profile, ICE is managing to arrest record numbers of people. Here’s how it’s doing that.

I was joking earlier that someone would rope the North Minneapolis drone responder program issue into this Uptown shooting, but I thought it was too stupid to actually happen. Police are always in Uptown and they responded to this in a literal minute.

Just a reminder, we sent these motherfuckers running from Minnesota. Yeah, they're still here, slinking about in the shadows, but we got their nazi muppets canned and sent them back to their shithole towns.

REPORTER: You just said that in Minnesota what happened wasn't a mistake, with the shootings-- HOMAN: I said from day one it was not a perfect operation. I see a lot of people out there saying, 'We surrendered in Minnesota.' No we didn't.
