What an odd moment in United States history.

A U.S. president is running an overtly political camaign advertisement, right before midterm elections, paid for by the U.S. government.

Trump appears to believe he is immune from any kind of legal limit.

A Trump 2024 Campaign Ad Returns, Now Brought to You by the Government (Gift Article)
The ad, which ethics experts said could violate federal law, shows Mr. Trump vowing to “expel the warmongers” from the government and fight the “deep state,” even as he wages a war with Iran.

4 months ago this week ICE agent Jonathan Ross shot and killed Renee Good in Minneapolis. His Chaska home was for sale until the listing was removed in late April.

Prior to being blurred on Google Street View, the home showed a yellow "Don't Tread On Me" Gadsden flag hanging from the front door.

Why convert to Catholicism then say the Pope is wrong about theology?

If you want to be Christian without deferring to the Pope, there are many options.

Isn’t “the Pope is wrong, the Church is wrong, I’m interpreting scripture myself and communing directly with God” why we have Protestants?

It’s not just Ms. Rachel.

The biggest names in children’s educational programming are coming out in force to call for kids to be freed from ICE detention.

Here’s “Reading Rainbow” host @mychal3ts.bsky.social outside the Dilley Immigration Processing Center.

For years on my old blog I published the names of servicemembers who died in Iraq & Afghanistan. No other outlets were.

These are the first 4 Americans to die in the Iran War.

Please watch the whole video from our Saint Paul Olympian. It’s one of the most direct and eloquent statements about the situation that I’ve heard from anyone.
Proud to be a Minnesotan, proud to be represented by Rich Ruohonen.
US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE:

"I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

Worth watching this in full. The statement is more powerful than this quote alone. Here is is from USA Today, with alt text.

Also! Rich Ruohonen is a personal injury lawyer and the oldest athlete to ever represent the United States in a Winter Games at 54 years old.

A "filter barricade" setup on Bloomington Avenue in Minneapolis. Saw quite a few of these today.

Those at the barricades have told me they're to bring community together and protect their neighborhoods by not allowing federal agents through if identified.

Reminder that ICE was invented after 9/11 to terrorize people on US soil.

W’s “war on terror” incl mass surveillance, even more racial profiling & aggressive policing & treating immigration as a security issue. Muslims & Brown folk perceived as such can tell you how that went.

Abolish.

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley.

Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo.

Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles.

Get them out!

ICE agents bragging about shooting Marimar Martinez. Bragging. Fuck ICE. Have a listen.👇
UNREAL! Congressional hearing Tuesday with US citizen Marimar Martinez who was shot by ICE. Rep Garcia notes how the ICE agent bragged to his friends about shooting her, writing 'I fired 5 rounds, and she had 7 holes. Put that in your book, boys." You can NOT reform ICE. Abolish and PROSECUTE ICE!!
