We are locked in an infinite loop where the administration distracts from outrage over Epstein files by creating outrage over ICE excesses, and distracts from outrage over ICE excesses by creating outrage over Epstein files. This is a unique way for a democracy to spiral towards oblivion.

🧵The Whipple Building in south Minneapolis is a torture facility. If this occupation is ever over and if we are restored to our rights, the state of Minnesota must reclaim the land, raze that building, and erect a monument and museum to memorialize this war against Minnesota and its people. 1/4

Screenshot of Minnesota Star Tribune newspaper article. Text: No humanity: Detainees describe conditions inside Whipple federal building Immigration sweep brings overcrowded rooms and overflowing toilets. Lawyers say they can't visit their clients. The Department of Homeland Security says "all detainees receive full due process."Packed 'shoulder to shoulder' After the young Muslim woman spent nearly 24 hours locked in the bathroom with the three men, agents moved her to a different locked bathroom in the building's base-ment, she said. When she had her period, agents told her to use toilet paper. When she felt dizzy and vomited twice, agents did not grant her request for medical care. When they gave her a sandwich, she didn't eat it, fearing it contained pork. After her release, the Star Tribune visited the young Muslim woman at the sparsely decorated apartment where she lives with her mother. She recounted how federal agents tailed her after she dropped her mother off at work in mid-January. Afraid to drive home, she parked in a busy area, she said. Two agents knocked on her window, asked for identification and detained her. While the Star Tribune was unable to independently verify some details of her detainment, much of her account about conditions at Whipple is consistent with descriptions from other interviews and court filings. Many detainees requested anonymity, fearing retribution.Separate cells for citizens U.S. citizens, many detained while protesting, said they were kept separate from and treated differently than immigrants. Will Vermie said he landed in Whipple on Jan. 13 after observing the detainment of two young men across his south Minneapolis street. Agents started pushing observers, telling them to get off the sidewalk, he said. An agent grabbed Vermie's arms, and the two lost their balance and fell to a heap. Four agents handcuffed Vermie and tossed him in an SUV. For 8 hours at Whipple, the 39-year-old U.S. Army veteran said he stayed in a small cell for citizens. Seven more U.S. citizens were brought in. Some were bleeding, and told im they had been roughed up in detainment. They were given water but no food, he said, except when a guard brought fruit snacks to one man with low blood sugar. Lawyers were given access only after providing the full name of a detainee, he said. So Vermie memorized the names of four detainees. When he was released without charges at 6 p.m., he gave those names to an attorney outside.

I don’t think we should make concessions to the Masked Murderers Guild of America. I don’t think we should compromise so the Masked Murderers Guild of America stops using kidnapped kids from schools as bait. I thought this was already illegal. The Masked Murderers Guild of America should not exist.

Kristi Noem must be impeached. ICE must be abolished. Democrats in the Senate cannot fund DHS. Trump has created a militarized police force accountable only to him. These agents need to leave our cities NOW.

Gotta remind yourself not to cry when you see the kid's signs. It's negative -25°F and tears are dangerous. "LEAVE MY FRIENDS ALONE!" "ICE GIT OUT YA FUCKIN DUMBIES 😡"

DHS spending bill passed 220-207 7 Democrats voted in favor: Henry Cuellar Don Davis Laura Gilles Marie Gluesenkamp Perez Jared Golden Vicente Gonzalez Tom Suozzi Massie voted No Andy Harris didn't vote Might not have passed if every Democrat voted No, but leadership wasn't whipping them to do so
