Reposted by oeqqaboSean Casten @seancasten.bsky.social · 11mTrump did not direct the raid on Rep. Omar's house because there is any reasonable cause. It's because he thinks his base will turn out for xenophobia and knows they aren't turning out for his Iran war, price spikes or grift. It's gross authoritarianism - nothing more. 58710

But then go vote against every weak-willed lickspittle republican who has proven that they won't stand up TO Trump to make sure the rule of law gets applied to him and his family. He's hearing your footsteps already. Run through the tape. 0506
Reposted by oeqqaboIlhan Omar @ilhanmn.bsky.social · 1hI’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced. 454165954596

Reposted by oeqqaboWill Stancil @whstancil.bsky.social · 2hWe saw this stuff constantly during and after Metro Surge here in MN; you see it in how Trump has stripped the protected status of Haitians. “You’re in a racial group we detest, but you’re an American or have a legal right to be here. No matter: we’ll simply change the rules, now you’re illegal.” 318435
Reposted by oeqqaboWill Stancil @whstancil.bsky.social · 2hAlso it’s time for the news to stop treating this administration’s racist war against Somalis as “Trump being Trump.” They targeted Minneapolis because they hate an ethnic group here, and now they’re targeting the most prominent political figure in that group with thinly rationalized state violence. 121013238

Reposted by oeqqaboAndy Craig @andycraig.bsky.social · 10/10/2026We rightly worry most about the core electoral machinery and that's holding up pretty well, but any election under Trump is still something less than free and fair. Even if it's not enough to flip the outcome, state resources and power are unambiguously being abused to favor the incumbent party. 3350118
