The Trump regime desperately, desperately wants the situation in Minneapolis / St. Paul to explode. Anything sand in the gears that helps prevent that from happening is a godsend — and this lawsuit certainly is sand in the gears.
@inthehands it could very well be a big ol' ROCK in the gears! Go Minnesota!!
@inthehands I'm really impressed by the normal humanity of these authority figures. They're making their case super well. I think the administration picked the wrong place to mess with.
Keith Ellison, hell yeah

Pizza To The Polls is celebrating its 10th anniversary!
"From those first long lines, we've grown into a nationwide operation supporting all kinds of civic events-dispatching food trucks far and wide to keep folks fed and fired up for democracy."

Not a bad time to support the project.
#Minnesota Fraternal Order of #Police has many different #LEOs as members. This only adds to why the public has no trust in their local or state cops.

As 2 people here noted - this fundraiser is in violation of sections 8.8 and 8.10 of the GoFundMe terms of service.
It also has libelous & false statements, such as claiming that Renee Good was a domestic terrorist. You can use one or both reasons to report this fundraiser.

As @davidallengreen points out in his rumination on gangster states:
'A society is not easy to govern unless there is at least acceptance of the powers of the police & the military: sheer repression is expensive & often unsustainable.
That is why the wise tyrant hides behind a veneer of legalism & constitutionality.
And that is also why gangster states rarely last very long'!
The Q.is how much damage can Trump do in his gangster phase?

@rbreich Heather Cox Richardson mentioned that Trump signed an executive order declaring his 10th national emergency in this term (less than a year). #uspol #trumpregime

German historian Rob Schafer:
“You [RFK Jr] seem to be laboring under the delusion that Germany is a colony for your conspiracy theories. Let me be blunt: Your brand of 'freedom'—the freedom to die of preventable 19th-century diseases—is an export we have no interest in buying. We established the world's first universal social healthcare system under Bismarck in 1883. You still do not have anything comparable.”
“We are the nation of Koch and Virchow and have spent 140 years using state power to defeat disease through science AND solidarity. You, meanwhile, preside over a system where insulin is rationed like gold dust and medical bankruptcy is a national pastime.
"The fact that you think you have the moral standing to lecture the country that invented modern medicine on 'medical decisions' is not just arrogant; it is grotesque! Keep your chaos on your side of the Atlantic.
"Mind your own business.”
As the Tangerine Tyrant's (apparent) campaign of distraction spreads from internal suppression & violence, to the Caribbean, it now looks like he is considering some form of military intervention in Iran as well....
For the cyclical (or perhaps the realistic) the Q. must be:
How many people need to die for Trump's involvement with Jeffrey Epstein to be effectively completely buried?
Of course, others might argue this is normal US politics, just turned up to eleven!
For Rana Foroohar (FT), the defining logic of the Court of the Tangerine Tyrant's action is a longer term battle for the control of the resources that will underpin political economic success in the C21st.
She likens this to the C19th period of 'great game' imperialism that saw the major states seek to capture & exploit resources through military power & colonialism.
For many seeking to use the lens of imperialism to understand US actions this will make a lot of sense.
As more ICE & Federal agents arrive in Minnesota, from this side of the Atlantic, it looks almost as if the Court of the Tangerine Tyrant is trying to provoke a (localised?) civil war... what could be the motive?
Declaration of a state of emergency & the suspension of the mid-term elections perhaps?
More distraction from the Epstein Files (lack of) release(s)?
Or both?
Or something else?
The Trump administration is using the Border Patrol to film content for its social media accounts.
An officer is holding a camera to take video of the crown watching the them arrest someone at a Target store.
They don't have body cameras, but use their phones and other types of cameras to create content.

This is an insane reaction, literally: it is not sane. It is EXTREMELY EASY to make sense of this: we are in a country where SOMEONE (you, you are the someone) has gone to great lengths to make sure that anyone can get a gun easily at any time for any reason, or no reason, at all. That's it. That's why this shit happens. You have chosen for it to happen, and you continue to make sure that it will happen more. The end.
