"Trump is not the architect of the Iran war, only its vehicle."
On who's really in charge:

A mural of a migrant and child on the side of BroTex in Saint Paul, where ICE abducted 14 workers and several observers in November in what was a sign of things to come across the Twin Cities. Fuck ICE.

For me, this was the start of the occupation. A week later they terrorized the East Side guns drawn with SPPD’s assistance.
I just…the people who win when the bombs drop. How exactly do they think they will get, let alone spend, their money?
Thanks for letting this SF ex-pat know. 😔

Loved it! 🎯
Whoever made this, it’s BRILLIANT.
Trump’s “Board of Peace.”
What good can you do today? What trouble can you cause? What suffering can you ease? What needs to exist, and can you help build it?
Here’s the thing: a President openly contemptuous of Congress & willing, unilaterally, to recklessly and illegally commit the US to wars of aggression is an existential threat to the Republic, *regardless* of whether he can ultimately explain his acts to Congress.
The demand must be impeachment.
We need a ticker showing the cost to the American taxpayer every time a bomb is dropped, a jet takes flight, a warship moves etc
Seems to be plenty of cash for that, not for, you know, actual living.
The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

We need to stop measuring the economy by how wealthy the top 1% are doing or by how much the stock market has increased.
Instead we need to start measuring a country’s success by its standard of living, its access to healthcare/education and its the levels of homelessness/poverty.
ICE aren’t spending $40+ billion on detention camps in order to remove people from the USA.
Deportation wouldn’t require a network of concentration camp warehouses.
The obvious lie needs to be addressed by the media.
I got waitlisted. Hopefully will get the next one!
Wow.
Oregonians! There is a land grab going on to hand over prime farmland to data centers and semiconductors, despite the AI bubble. Shady speculators are set to make a fortune, last minute hearing scheduled. Sign up to testify or submit testimony here olis.oregonlegislature.gov/liz/2026R1/M...
Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Tell Enterprise Rent-a-Car: ICE OUT! Oregon Park in Portland on Monday, February 16th at 3PM.
Wow! This is some top-notch investigative journalism. The report claims the 3 million Epstein files released are only 2% of the total.
The massive scale of what’s still missing is hard to comprehend.
For those of you who grew up after 9/11, we got along just fine without a Department of Homeland Security for 212 years.
The DHS was formed to try to prevent future terror attacks — now, it is orchestrating them.
This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.
the bushes were people 😂

Just a quick update from the Twin Cities. (Please forgive the unsolicited message). THINGS ARE NOT BETTER IN MINNEAPOLIS. The media is mostly moving on, Trump is focused on other stuff, BUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED ON THE GROUND. More than 2,000 DHS thugs continue to roam the streets, abducting people 24/7, assaulting legal observers with impunity, and routinely denying 1st, 4th, and 5th amendment rights. Drones and helicopters are overhead every day. Hundreds and hundreds of terrified families have not left their homes since mid-December ... relying on the community to bring them food and help with rent and other necessities. (Those people are NOT violent drug cartel sex offending murderers, as DHS would tell you. Most are legal residents or citizens.) If anything, things have just become more stressful and intractable (think trench warfare as a suitable metaphor): The resistance is better organized and numerous, but DHS has become more clever and better at disguise... and the county sheriff's office is increasingly supporting them . Do not let anyone tell you that Homans (the new person in charge of the occupation) is making anything better. Do not let anyone tell you that 700 ICE agents leaving the city has made much of a difference; the remaining force (again, ~2,000) is still larger than the entire city's police force (which is legally unable to do anything). Please call your congressional reps ... especially if there is any chance the administration might listen to them.
A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:
It’s insane that we have to call and beg our Democratic leaders not to fund a government organization that is shooting and killing us.
if everyone could take on the “what if we just did the thing instead of waiting for it to happen” energy that much of minneapolis has right now, the world could be pretty good
