This article is hilarious in its hysteria. Rent controls!! How ever will the landlords make out? Wealth taxes will deter innovation!! Guess we just have to make do with whatever trickles down. Need to be all in on data centers!! Yeah, no need for moving thoughtfully. Just ugh.

This has no chance of getting the needed 2/3 supermajority of the House to propose an amendment, but if it does get a floor vote will be helpful for identifying House Democrats who need to be dropped into a volcano

🧵 My neighborhood in St. Paul, Minnesota still appears to be inundated by feds. A few blocks from my house, a car with plates that didn’t match the vehicle sat idling in a church parking lot for hours. I first noticed it at 7:30 this morning. Four hours later, the pastor spoke to occupant. 1/7

He literally says in this clip that ICE will keep in Minnesota “quick reaction forces” — a military term — to go after “agitators.” Remember that those on the ground in MPLS have spent more than a week trying to tell everyone that Trump’s prior “deescalation” was a ruse and ICE is still operational

@wcconews.bsky.social - SHAME ON YOU for credulously repeating the ICEstapo claim that the man killed approached agents with a weapon. By all accounts & video, it was permitted and in no way being pointed at agents. I guess Fox isn't the only state media right now.

There were an estimated 50,000 people marching in the streets to support an economic shutdown, in temperatures so cold your tears freeze to your face and exposed skin is in danger of frostbite. That was preceded by pickets, civil disobedience, and arrests.

They are targeting children because they are trying incite violence. I have talked to many journalists today, and they all made the same observation: Border Patrol and ICE have been rolling around with maximum aggression, lingering for ages as crowds, gather, seemingly trying to cause a riot.

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
