Secretary Noem has forfeited her right to lead. I’m calling on her to resign. Gregory Bovino must also be fired. No one, not an ICE agent, not a federal officer, not a president, is above the law.

Never forget that the reason they are so convinced you’re all getting paid is that they are all getting paid.

Imagine waiting decades, passing countless background checks and interviews, and then just as you arrive at your citizenship ceremony, you get pulled out of line and told that all of that wasn’t enough. That’s what Trump is doing to people who just want to be Americans.

I drove by this area 30 minutes ago. You see this guy every day, friendly and just a fixture. This is the same intersection ICE snatched people two weeks ago in. It's the heart of Echo Park.

Incredible

"Why is it so normal for law enforcement — those who are supposed to be keepers of law and order — to kill Americans? And why is the only question at the end of the day how much their victims deserved to die?" Read more from @sarahjeong.bsky.social: www.theverge.com/policy/86745...

DHS has shot 12 people during immigration enforcement operations since September:

Update: In the evidence preservation lawsuit, the current Civil Chief at the Minnesota U.S. Attorney's Office (who appears to be Ana Voss, based on the letter), refused to accept email service of the lawsuit last night and then refused to accept in-person service until Monday. Ridiculous behavior.

Have them on the broadcast! Let them say it with their full chest and put their name and face on it.

good morning

My friend Sara posted this about the superb care her father received from with Alex Pretti Absolutely heartbreaking

look at them. murderers itching to murder again but these people chose to stay, to film, to witness, to risk being next, to risk having their families targeted, their names dragged through the mud before their bodies are even cold. i wish they did not have to be brave but i'm grateful that they are.

"This is a Nation founded on Law Enforcement" is a completely berserk claim based on absolutely nothing

Tyranny

Condemning the murder of an innocent American citizen and calling for an investigation is the least we should expect from our elected officials. Will Minnesota's four Congressional Republicans do so?

i think this attitude — that all opposition is illegitimate and nothing we do can be questioned— is probably pervasive in the white house and helps explain why they keep making terrible political choices

They know they are losing badly and they are looking for a way to frame the disastrous loss as a win.

The United States Government’s position is that it is unlawful to watch law enforcement and you will be assaulted, it is treasonous to oppose their work and you will be executed for it, the President of the United States will defame you in death, and they will say “good job, law enforcement” on CNN.

lol no congress this week

I actually think we shouldn't sleep on putting Ross Douthat behind bars. It's not uncommon to prosecute regime propagandists

To be blunt, this is the core of why I think ICE is so fucking *dishonorable*. It’s not just that they’re oppressive, unprofessional degenerates. It’s a deeper rot.

Trying to think of exceptions, just as a fun thought experiment. Montenegro, the two republics of former Czechoslovakia. Secessions from the Soviet Union, albeit they certainly argued they were illegal at the time, were at least /constitutional./

Saying there must be trials isn't just an emotive aspiration. Congress can: - Create a new court (complying w/ 6A jury vicinage) - Give it jurisdiction over defined category of crimes - Also create dedicated prosecutors for the same - Strip SCOTUS of appellate jurisdiction It can be done.

I keep thinking about this fact that his last words were are you okay and hers were I'm not mad at you and it feels like a weird coincidence but it's just a reflection of the fact that the people who are coming out to take care of their neighbors are good and the people who are after them are bad

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

”College kids are the real threat to free speech” was always for rubes and marks who wanted the freedom to be bigoted without repercussions. If you are still writing that at this point you are incapable of acknowledging actual threats or high on your own supply.

There should be a presumption in a court of law that if a law enforcement offer fails to provide required body camera footage, that that footage would have weighed against the officer's case, much as a judge can order a jury to assume that evidence undisclosed during discovery would be damaging.

people should really read all of this

Absolutely replacement level anchoring from Dana Bash letting Bovino play in her face on all those clips

Protests happen, but most of what is happening in Minneapolis isn’t protesting. More accurate terms: - observers - witnesses - volunteers - neighbors - residents - people

the wildest thing is right-wingers acting like minnesotans in videos must be outside agitators when we can all hear their accents. i don't think i could do that accent convincingly if i spent a year practicing. and neither would i wish to. have you heard that shit? craziest american accent

If this is what they do when they're out on the street with people pointing cameras at them, what do you think is happening inside the ICE prison camps that they keep denying Members of Congress access to?

I remain absolutely furious that all this shit in Minneapolis started because a barely-literate homeschooled mormon made a video trying to run up in daycare centers trying to find people of Somalian descent doing fraud despite the ringleader (a white woman) being in jail since March. Demonic.

Jackie Bradley Jr. CF Debut: 2013 - Retired: 2023 MIL - BOS - TOR - KCR

If we had had a solidly liberal Supreme Court for more than a decade or so out of >200 years it seems quite plausible this might have happened.

The killing happened about 15 hours ago. Since then: - MN Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (FBI equivalent) got a warrant for the evidence on the scene - Tried to execute it - Were forcibly turned away by feds - Filed for a temporary restraining order - TRO granted by the federal district court

man.

When the CBP or ICE agent that Stephen Miller is trying to get killed dies, it is extremely important that every member of the media be told, repeatedly and loudly, that they wanted this and that people called it out in advance.

The nurses are pissed

If I was a smart paramilitary thug (which, yes, I know), I would be contemplating the fact that by not revealing individual offenders, the only remaining option is collective retribution

“The President, Vice President, and ALL CIVIL OFFICERS of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.” - US Constitution Article II, Section 4

State propaganda

rethuglicans commonly look at the upper midwest and go “oh there’s a ton of germans there of course they’ll be That Kind of german” wrong bitch. we all came over in the 1860s and immediately signed up to kill slavers

Please read this dispatch from Minneapolis by @erikhane.bsky.social www.welcometohellworld.com/there-is-no-...

Feels like it should be a pretty big deal that a Trump supporter physically assaulted a Democratic congressman

Since July, I've tracked at least 2,300 cases in which federal judges have ruled ICE has illegally detained people without bond or due process. This is one that stands out: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

remember when we had weeks of hand-wringing over the propriety of making members of trump's first cabinet uncomfortable at restaurants

We will need a Truth and Reconciliation Commission when these cruel, lawless people are out of office. They must be held accountable in order for our nation to heal.
