"A concentration camp, in its most basic definition, is a place where a targeted civilian population, not necessarily accused of a crime, is detained and at least some of their basic rights are suspended," writes @jwashing.bsky.social. "That’s precisely what’s happening in the United States today."

“I heard the officer say ‘that ain’t shit’.” NASHVILLE — ICE shatter a car window in front of a newborn, refuse to look at man’s license & work visa… drag him out of his car, hit him, mock him for being Guatemalan (he’s from Mexico), laugh when he begs to say goodbye.

MN’s Supreme Court has ruled that cities have “extremely broad” power to deny license renewals…as long as it’s not unreasonable, arbitrary, capricious or fraudulent. Because a hotel housed a ‘violent paramilitary’ force is a legitimate reason to deny a license, said a hospitality union attorney.

To be clear, CBS refusing to air Stephen Colbert’s interview with Texas Democrat James Talarico after they received threats from the MAGA regime to bury it isn’t only censorship, it’s full blown fascism. Propaganda CBS aren’t a reliable news source, they are state tv.

We're in court today challenging ICE and CBP's racial profiling and warrantless arrests, which have been sowing fear and chaos in Minnesota communities. Federal agents are bound by the Constitution, and we will hold them accountable for their lawless actions.
