Gotta drop a few thoughts on this one, because I think it touches on a big problem on data centre discourse but in a sort of accidental way.
(It's an interesting listen w/ lots to agree with and obviously in done in good faith so please don't take these thoughts as a big dunk or anything)
![This morning, Monday, October 12, 2026, federal agents raided the home of our Congresswoman, Ilhan Omar.
SD60 DFL unequivocally stands in solidarity with our Congresswoman Ilhan Omar and all our Somali neighbors.
Over the last year, Donald Trump has repeatedly attacked Somali Americans and the state of Minnesota. This raid on Rep. Omar’s home follows his attacks on Somali Americans last week and is an escalation of a decade-long campaign of attacks against Congresswoman Omar personally. Donald Trump’s inflammatory rhetoric has contributed to death threats and violence in our state.
It is no coincidence that this raid comes three weeks before an election where Rep. Omar is on the ballot. As he has done many times before, Trump has weaponized the Justice Department to target his political opponents.
No president or administration should use government agencies to target political dissenters. To target a political enemy with violent force for no crime, with even a modicum of substantiation, is a blatant violation of the basic principles of democracy and American governance. It is also a direct attack against not just Rep. Omar, but every single citizen she represents in Congress, and the American people as a whole.
Impeachment is allowed for treason, bribery and/or “high crimes and misdemeanors.” These were described by Alexander Hamilton in Federalist Paper 65: “The subjects of [impeachment] are those offenses which proceed from the misconduct of public men, or, in other words, from the abuse or violation of some public trust.” In addition, 18 U.S. Code § 241 states that if two or more people conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in the U.S. in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right protected by the Constitution or U.S. law, or because of having previously used those rights, they can be subject to up to 10 years in prison.
As such, we firmly believe that these actions constitute grounds for impeachment of multiple individuals.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:3ikaslrheyuxp254csjapklz/bafkreigcbfw4an2oujxd5ew37vtvbjg6lhnkx6f3r6w4tsztoy7aty4l7q)
