Minnesota is broken and getting worse.

Federal agents killed Renee Good and Alex Pretti, but the rot goes deeper than the shootings. In open court today, a government attorney told a federal judge that "the system sucks. The job sucks" before adding she wished she would be held in contempt so she could sleep.

She's not alone. Fourteen other prosecutors and a supervising FBI attorney have resigned recently. She stayed because she realized she could get people out from the inside. Another judge cited 96 court orders that DHS has violated across 74 cases.

Today, Governor Tim Walz demanded that the government account for all Minnesota children in federal custody. He said that no one in the government would tell him. That's not surprising. The attorney told the judge today that they were working 600 habeas corpus cases in Minnesota.

Reporters should just tell trump they all know he is paedophile, in the white house, while the orange shit bucket is at the desk. Try to see if they can cause an anuism live on tv.

Every couple of hours I see another redacted doc in the news as people ask, "Why is that person's name redacted?"

And it's going to get worse when the Clintons testify.

You gotta give me some leeway. Criticize is a perfectly fine word, but yes, if I were to write about all of them as an op-ed, I would tear into him.

#1 I'm almost surprised they didn't arrest Petro there. Because after all the threats, and accusations, their actions in Venezuela, and their general lack of respect for international law, that seemed entirely possible.

I thought it was remarkable too, beginning with the invite, but he does this. Someone visits him (Mamdani, Zelenskyy, whoever) and he praises them for 2 days.

#5 Wow, fuck you SBA. Never participating in Small Business Saturday ever again.

Then they win, they want monopolies, they literally did this because most small businesses were opened up, at least in part, by immigrants.

#4 No one will believe your "crooked elections" claim Trump when you have already had every opportunity to prove it hundreds of times in Court and out but always no evidence only his endless lies.

Then since the State control of elections is set in the US Constitution then this is nothing more than a dementia dream of a wannabe dictator soon to die.

I don't think the constitution is the bar you think it is. Ask all those immigrants how their constitutional right to due process is going for them... Oh, right, you can't, they're in foreign torture prisons.

#10 It sure sounds like they need to start arresting the heads of ICE and DHS and hold them in contempt.

Seems like everyone is getting used to the presence of ICE and accepting it as reality, hoping those body cam demands are upheld. It's sad.

#14 "Bodycams" are the excuse dems will use to justify giving ICE more money. Call your reps, make it clear a vote for funding ICE will mean the death of their political career. ICE can rent a few less warehouses and sell back some military hardware if they need money for body cams.

Thank you, OP.

#2 so our next civil war lines are going to be drawn by which states voluntarily choose to join the rest of the world in sanity? I might be okay with that.
#4 must be fought with whatever dregs of morality our politicians have left and by all necessary means for civilians. I should hope not violence, but pressure and numbers are certainly needed.

I think we all know which states will fall where although, just like the first time, a couple may surprise us.

This time the army has drones, but sure send Bubba and his pals.

For the one second it took me to finish that sentence I had an inordinate level of concern regarding your experiences.

@op every morning when I see your posts I definitely understand the importance of the phrase "don't shoot the messenger." Thank you for your service. You are my most important follow.

#10 is a great read, its basically a career attorney dealing with the chucklefucks, trying to put up the good fight and get people released when they are supposed to.

Your client is breaking multiple laws while also beating and killing people, we told them to stop. Why are they not stopping?

Thanks mate. Not sure what to make of this batch. #10 especially. I expected Poopy-pants McHamsterhead to take over the midterms, but regardless of what Congress says it's too early to tell.

ICE operations will turn into voter intimidation for the mid terms. Even if ICE isnt in your state terrorizing your citizens, PREPARE your communities, following models of rapid and decentralized community responses such as Minnesota, Maine and other states. ICE operations are simply a dry run. Defend our democracy.
