This is the kind of thing white supremacists have been doing to Emmett Till’s memorial for decades. It’s wild to see them do this to a white woman who the entire world saw extrajudicially murdered.

Are people still buying this nonsense? @fasteddie92.bsky.social
The New York Times@nytimes.com · 6mo agoElon Musk told employees at xAI, his artificial intelligence company, on Tuesday that the company needed a factory on the moon to build A.I. satellites and a massive catapult to launch them into space.
We are deciding right now whether we want to be a country with ethnic cleansing and concentration camps.

A retired Minneapolis couple who had guns pointed at them by ICE in a church parking lot. "They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets." "They had the professional demeanor of criminals." ht: @paulgraham.bsky.social

Minnesotans hoped to "forget everything" for a moment at Warriors-Wolves. But amid city-wide unease, that simply wasn't possible.

Never forget the Minnesota GOP invited Nick Shirley here & plied him with intel, resulting in targeted harassment of innocent people and ultimately, this occupation.
This morning, I recorded a video on TikTok about why DHS’s arguments for the power to enter homes without judicial warrants in immigration cases are bunk. Nine hours later, TikTok still says my video is “under review,” and can’t be shared. Well, here’s a link: georgetown.box.com/v/Vladeck-IC...
ICE agent asked why he's taking pictures of a legal observer's car, replies: "Cuz we have a nice little database and now you're considered a domestic terrorist. So have fun with that."
New in PN: Kristi Noem's assault on the Fourth Amendment "The Department of Homeland Security deliberately confuses reasonable suspicion and probable cause in hopes that no one will notice that ICE and CBP are making illegal arrests as standard operating procedure."

We are watching one of the wildest things a nation-state has ever done: A superpower is committing suicide because the GOP Congress is too cowardly to stand up to the Mad King. This is one of the wildest moments in all of geopolitics ever.

Hearing reports that a man taken by ICE in Minneapolis died in federal custody.
Was just going over some old issues of The Racket and found this. I wrote it in July 2024, just after the Republican convention.
Just so people outside of MN know - a lot of the US citizens getting “arrested” by ICE never get processed at Whipple. They are roughed up during the arrest and then often dropped off miles from where they were picked up. It means we don’t know the true scale of what ICE is doing based on ICE stats
I will say that this experience has really changed the way I think about a lot of historical events and the motivations and thinking of historical actors, especially those that history often reduces to passive victims, which is a little bit annoying tbh.
Boosting —hey @chriswarcraft.bsky.social & @lollardfish.bsky.social & @normcharlatan.bsky.social &the rest of you, can you also boost?
jeremy messersmith@jeremymessersmith.bsky.social · 7mo agoWant to help folks being terrorized by ICE in Minnesota? Well look at this google doc someone made. Lots of GoFundMe's that haven't met their goals yet. docs.google.com/document/d/1...
WITNESS: "I just can't let this narrative of self-defense go any further. That’s absolutely not what it was… ICE agents didn’t let anyone help her for 15 minutes, then medics couldn’t get through with their ambulance.”
You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.
Like those before it, that insane, vile DHS statement about the Minneapolis shooting isn't about covering anything up. It's performative lying. They aren't trying to persuade anyone that their agents did nothing wrong. They're trying to project that their agents can get away with anything.
