BREAKING: Alabama Governor Kay Ivey commuted the death sentence of Sonny Burton.

The state was set to execute Sonny for a crime he didn't commit, but tens of thousands of people nationwide demanded justice β€” and our voices were heard.

Of all the things we are doing in MN, this one is just beyond. Imagine being released from hell alone in the cold. And a total stranger has waited all night with a blanket just to be ready to hug you and carry you home. Every job we do is crucial, but this one is what restores humanity and dignity.

Eileen Gu may compete for China, but the only entity she truly represents is Eileen Gu, Inc. The American-born Gu has become a lightning rod for political outrage, but really what she's doing is playing the system for all it's worth.

this column goes a little hard considering the atrocities the american government is also performing as we speak but sports.yahoo.com/olympics/art...

this is explicitly forbidden by the fourth amendment, there should not need to be "guidance" because it is IN THE CONSTITUTION & in fact the drafters used these exact examples in constructing the amendment

Over 1,600 evictions have been filed throughout Minnesota from January 1 through January 23.

Filings for January rent have increased dramatically in the past week.

February rent is due soon.

It is still extremely dangerous for our neighbors to be out in public.

I don’t know, it’s a still of some goofy handsome dude in some peasant clothes and next to him I some little bald weirdo who looks like a 7 year old who was enlarged to adult proportions and then shrunk back down to 7 year old size? I’m sorry that’s the best I can do

β€˜Like a Military Occupation’: Clashes Rise With Federal Agents in Minneapolis

Language: "But even some of those in favor of the community defense efforts were on edge that protesters could go too far. Residents said they were worried that with the number of agents patrolling the area and heightened tensions, weapons will be fired, deliberately or by accident."

My representative should be on tv showing clips of this shit to everyone every fucking night until this bullshit ends. We are being fucking abandoned by our state and federal representatives.

The first time Kovarik saw private data used by ICE agents was a couple days after Christmas. They were observing ICE agents while a friend from Robbinsdale drove. The agents had already stopped them to warn they'd be arrested, but they kept following the vehicle. Then they realized the agents were leading them to their friend's home in Robbinsdale.
"He pulled up to her house, both the agents got out of the car and were both performatively and theatrically taking pictures of her house," Kovarik said. "Then they drove off and they went around to the back alley behind her house and took pictures of the back of her house."
It happened again to Kovarik last week when an ICE agent led them to a residence where Kovarik used to live.
"It's one of many intimidation tactics, and obviously people should be safe," Kovarik said, "but if you feel pretty comfortable that ... they're not really going to be able to do anything to harm you, I think it's to our benefit to show them that we're not scared."

Photo of young man in car who has literally just had his driver side window busted out by ICE, captured by a photographer and posted to Getty images. This was likely the beginning of the video that ends with him surrounded by agents who choked him out, eventually dragged his limp body face first across the pavement as they cuffed him and took him away.

I'm going to post the link to the video but not the actual video which autoplays and is utterly brutal. Instead I'm posting the photo of the man before ICE assaulted him.

β€˜I’m a physician,’ he said. β€˜Don’t care’ was the reply. Bystander medical assistance was declined during the restraint-related death of George Floyd, and now after the shooting of Renee Good.

β€œCan I check a pulse?” yelled the bystander, standing across Portland Avenue from Renee Good’s lifeless body inside her crashed SUV, video footage of the exchange shows.

β€œNo,” an agent replies. β€œBack up.”

β€œI’m a physician!”

β€œI don’t care.”

America is now at the heavily armed secret police doing warrantless door-to-door house raids in search of undesirable ethnicities and/or political dissenters stage. The difference from well known historical cases is down to scale.

ICE totaled this car, abducted a woman, and then left it in the middle of Snelling Avenue, one of the busiest streets in the Twin Cities.

This isn’t law and order, this state sanctioned terrorism. It’s fucking disgusting.

That video of ICE killing the woman is horrifying. The most gutless and cowardly group of people empowered by a psychopathic administration. And even when the video clearly shows an execution, they’re already lying about the context of the killing. Evidence doesn’t matter. They just kill and lie.

Imagine being made to spend 11 days inside a coffin. Imagine being made to spend more than a day inside a box barely two feet large in any direction. Imagine having to curl up, unable to extend any of your extremities, in the claustrophobic conditions of such a box, for more than a cumulative day. You can see pictures Abu Zubaydah drew of himself in the small box. Now imagine this being done to someone you love.

I say all this because the following description appears in an Amnesty International report released Friday into the conditions of confinement for migrants at Alligator Alcatraz:

They’re killing people as a twitter joke. It’s depraved. Can’t let yourself lose the capacity to be appalled and disgusted and outraged by this.

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find:

- NONE of the arrested were criminally charged
- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."
- ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times
