Minneapolis. Clearly a shit poster past his prime such as myself is very cool and wise and deserves a ton of respect and deference. This is a parody account. All posts are non-actionable parody.

Hundreds of people in downtown Minneapolis hopped on scooters Friday night to protest Flock cameras and mass surveillance. *Video footage by Flying Penguin Studios (find them on FB/IG)*

24 detainees were loaded onto today's ICE Air flight in Minneapolis. Six seconds in, the staff on the left are unfolding a WRAP full-body restraint; on the right, the shackles are untangled. If you may have had a loved one on this flight, the full loading can be viewed here: youtu.be/st3guNEQm2M

this facility and its mission are sinful and disgusting and wrong and I wish it were not happening. but are you telling me they're going to build one of the country's largest immigration detention facilities in a state which trained and hardened hundreds of lawyers to file habeas petitions??

28 people flown to indefinite detention on ICE Air today from Minneapolis. In rain that got heavier as the loading process went on, MN50501 volunteers observed construction workers, elderly, and women. If you may have loved ones on the flight, full footage be seen here: youtu.be/gJr9Q79MQxc 🧵👇

Benjamin Levey, an attorney with the National Immigrant Justice Center, says that in years of working with people going into immigration court, "the last two months have been the worst months on record," with 11000+ people ordered removed. He says many were ordered removed in absentia.

Aren’t pretty much all of Musk’s companies based in TX where you have to submit your genome and a picture of your butthole to look at porn? Why is Minnesota the FIRST state to go after? Also, oh so now the 1st amendment is good for revenge porn but not for fed overreach? Real conservative of you.

Two weeks ago today, after Nasdaq willingly rigged the rules, somewhere btw $7-10 bil of passive money was forced to buy SpaceX at $160.42 Today, 10 trading days later, it closed at $119.85 It’s an unprecedented forced loss (at least $2b) for passive investors and our financial media is 🦗

At the height of Operation Metro Surge, highly sensitive data from license plate cameras was available to far-flung departments that searched it and used it for immigration enforcement. This is deeply disturbing and confirms the concerns about increased surveillance and how it can make us less safe.

Not sure about the source, from social media, mainstream hasn’t confirmed yet but this would be my second happened upon shooting after leaving work this year, though I was in the last one. This I drove by, there was a large police presence and reporters and a taped off area to the right of me.

In this moment, more than ever, it is imperative that we elect leaders with the spine to stand up for our democracy - especially when decisions are tough and when the lights are their brightest. Flip your ballot over and vote Frazier!

Scientists have noted that Duluth, Minnesota whose temperature is moderated by Lake Superior will actually become a, “climate refuge,” during the 21st Century, causing some residents to fear upcoming skyrocketing housing costs as climate refugees flock there from around the world! Duluth:

Horrible day. ICE is preparing a deportation flight to Laos so some of my former, current, and were-to-be clients are being brought to the Whipple Building and shipped off to Louisiana for final removal. Lots of calls from them, their families, and friends. So much pain visited on our community

“The researchers struggled to confirm the full scale of the injuries, because ‘visual investigative techniques cannot adequately assess invisible injuries, such as chemical injury or chronic pain or hearing loss’. “‘The true number of injuries is likely far greater,’ the report adds.”

‘Misuse’ of crowd control weapons on ICE protesters led to blindings and traumatic brain injuries, report finds

Doctors and human rights experts documented hundreds of incidents from June 2025 through May 2026 and estimate true number is ‘far greater’

fascinating economic discovery from Fidelity: houses actually are cheaper now than in 2020!* * if you denominate them in an arbitrary asset that has appreciated over that time frame

The average U.S. home has appreciated by over $100,000 since 2020, reflecting the broader inflationary environment across fiat-denominated assets. However, when priced in bitcoin, the average home has declined significantly in value, becoming approximately 10 times less expensive over the same period.  This divergence raises a key question: Is housing becoming more expensive, or is the purchasing power of fiat currency steadily eroding?Chart showing average home prices in dollars from 2020–2026 (rising about $100k over that period), and on the second axis the price in bitcoin (dropping by about 50BTC)

ICE has fatally shot 11 people since Donald Trump's second term began. These are not isolated incidents. They are the predictable result of a cruel, violent system. Abolish ICE.
