Body Cams Won't Protect Us

Kristi Noem has agreed to issue body cams to all DHS agents in Minneapolis and across the country. But study after study shows this does nothing to increase accountability and instead will just continue to increase the bloated DHS budget and give them more tools to surveil all of us.

Abolish ICE? It's Complicated.

Calls for abolishing ICE are growing even across the political spectrum. Here's a bit of history about US immigration laws to explain why I think the "Abolish ICE" conversation doesn't go far enough.

This IS Fascism. And Congress Won't Save Us.

In response to Alex Pretti, ANOTHER US citizen, being ex*cuted at the hands of ICE/Border Patrol, Pam Bondi has issued a ransom note and requested MN voter rolls, and Congress will do very little to stop the carnage.

What To Do When Your President Is Unfit To Lead

Comparing Mark Carney's speech at Davos to all of Trump's blatherings this week. A better future is possible, at least in theory, so I'm gonna cling to that.

The New Trump World Order

Trump wants Greenland. At first it was a joke, now it is not. European leaders are responding more forcefully to defend against increasing US threats. New tariffs and a breakdown of the NATO alliance could create chaos at home and abroad.

To Understand Venezuela, You Have To Understand Panama

Did the Trump admin break international law when it attacked Venezuela and captured Nicolas Maduro? Yes. Does it matter? Not at all, according to a new memo from the Trump admin providing bogus legal justification written by T. Elliot Gaiser and inspired by none other than William Barr. We're discussing that history and the similarities Maduro's capture has with another strongman from Latin America: Manuel Noriega.

Minnesota Is A Training Ground For What's To Come

This weekend saw more chaos and ICE raids across Minnesota. Now that Trump can't use the National Guard to his will, ICE is what's left, and he and his goons seem determined to allow ICE to do whatever it wants to terrorize blue cities and states. Up to and including to influence the outcome of future elections.

What Happens Next In Minnesota?

Yesterday, an ICE officer sh*t Renee Nicole Good as she was attempting to flee an ICE operation in South Minneapolis. The footage is clear, but the state propagandists want you to disbelieve what your eyes are telling you. Don't let them fool you.
