Recall that Melissa Hortman and her husband were murdered not long ago by a fake cop who showed up at their door looking like this guy

Uhhhh this file magically disappeared from the dump after being up for a while apparently

Catherine O’Hara SCTV thread youtu.be/990OaFr8EYw?...

These are the ones they *didn’t* redact?

When I try to explain to people that investors are generally very, very stupid people this is what I mean.

MAGA people lining up wanting the taxpayers to give them money. Trump wants $10 billion. Lindsey wants $1 million. J6ers want money. Farmers want money. Of course CEOs want their contracts, subsidies & tariff waivers. It’s griftapalooza at taxpayer expense for the gangsters.

Dhillon is Asst AG for Civil Rights.

to be clear, any prosecutor who *doesn't* refuse cases like this should be disbarred

Really not great every Fed is now masking

These are all Black people. The regime is betting that you wont care Jamael & Trahern the way you care about Alex & Renée

This isn’t about convicting Don Lemon. It’s unlikely that will happen. It’s about intimidating journalists & making them censure themselves out of fear of consequences. It’s about eroding the free press because the administration can’t afford the criticism.

If there's ever a history museum dedicated to this time period make sure this sentence gets displayed there

funding this govt is treason

I don’t want to think about Trump’s latest post about Alex Pretti, but we all must, esp. as funding discussions continue. The president is talking about the “stock” of a man subjected to an extrajudicial killing by federal agents who threw him to the ground and shot him repeatedly in the back.

the president of the united states should not be allowed to personally loot the treasury to the sum of ten billion dollars and that this is not resulting in immediate, unanimous impeachment is a dramatic indictment of what has become of our political system

what the fuck

Remember, children, hate-watching is just as good as any other viewing statistics to streaming companies. Just wait for 3rd party clips of the AI show, don’t watch out of morbid curiosity. Love and hate are identical to internet companies, indifference is what they fear

There is a geographically distinct “nation” within the American nation—the Neo-Confederate States—that refuses to accept the legitimacy of the US as a pluralistic democracy. The invasion of Minnesota is the latest maneuver in that nation’s efforts to “reconstruct” the North by force.

Finally got around to a bit of research I'd been meaning to explore, and: There is no documented instance of an ICE officer being identified and assaulted while off duty because he wasn't masked. www.pbump.net/o/ices-excus...

"Every good thing you have in your life is the product of someone else's struggle."

"In theater" is a nice touch for describing Minneapolis. Worth noting the people involved, from Trump to Miller to Noem to Homan to Bovino to the majority of ICE and CBP goons, have never served in the military. They're playing out a war fantasy, dressing up in army costumes, like incredible losers.

"Daddy told you he'd have to hit you even harder if you kept making him angry, but you didn't listen, and now look, somebody wound up dead."

"Democrats can't abolish ICE right now so don't ask for it." Republicans spent decades screaming "End abortion." Then, when they had the power to do it, they basically did! Repeating out loud what you want to happen even though it can't right now is good politics!

O my poor kingdom, sick with civil blows!

"I'm coming to Boston and I'm bringing hell with me." --Homan in February "Do I expect violence to escalate? Absolutely." -- Tom Homan in March "I actually thought about getting up and throwing that man a beating right there in the middle of the room" -- Homan in July, referring to a D congressman

notice how after ilhan omar was attacked by a maga true believer parroting donald trump, the mainstream media didnt kick off a multi-day orgy about how trump and other republicans need to change their tone and "lower the temperature"? that discourse only goes one way for the msm.

Conservative governance is just the pathology of domestic violence played out on a massive scale

This is sort of a throughline in cases of excessive force used by law enforcement. The civilian is supposed to perfectly adhere to some unwritten code of conduct; the armed professional supposedly trained for such situations is only human & must be given lattitude if they succumb to fear and rage.

The administration is insisting that its masked goons are so emotionally stunted that words can launch them into a murderous rage. "Our professionals are just ordinary people so ordinary people better act professionally around them, or else."

Of the biggest scandals in US history just this week, I think I’d rank them: 1) Federal paramilitaries invade US city based on racist lies, murder US citizens 2) Slush fund for the president from stolen foreign resources held in Qatar 3) Whatever FBI and DNI are doing re: 2020 election in Georgia

[P] So, if I've got this straight...Obama, Dubai, Italy, China, the CIA and the FBI successfully rigged the election to install puppet Biden...and then they just, what, *forgot* to do it again in 2024?

DAILY MEMO: Border Patrol and ICE Raid Almost 20 L.A. Communities, Almost 30 Total in SoCal in Record Numbers @eltragon.bsky.social

This is where America is: “Here’s an article to help you, an American citizen with “Constitutional rights,” identify the agency of the armed and masked individuals pointing their weapons in your faces.”

The good news is all the brazen, cartoonish corruption makes it easier to run on an anti-oligarchy, good government platform. The bad news is you still need candidates who want to do that

An entire community of thousands, here legally, having been demonized with deranged lies about eating pets, is about to be arbitrarily DECLARED illegal so they can be forcibly ethnically cleansed. I don’t want to hear one more fucking word about comparisons to Nazi Germany being overwrought.

More Of This

Yep, this is really something the president of this country just posted this evening.

Law enforcement officers have always been unmasked in this country until ICE started wearing them last year. *That* is the departure from norms. *That* is the step too far.

ICE kidnapped 5 people from my community this morning. I don’t live in Minneapolis. I live in LA County. They’re still here and their still brutalizing.

Chuck Schumer just announced demands on DHS to avoid shutdown: 1. End roving patrols, tighten rules on warrants 2. Enforce accountability & unified code of conduct for agents 3. No more masks & require bodycams There are *already* standards on much of this. The issue is DHS isn't following them!

not an accident that habeas corpus is one of the absolute foundational rights--and not an accident that ICE is working overtime to undermine it as much as possible

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

In Printz v. United States, #SCOTUS held that the Constitution bars the federal government from forcing or otherwise compelling local or state governments to enforce federal law. The liberal squish who wrote the majority opinion in that case? Justice Antonin Scalia: tile.loc.gov/storage-serv...

Of course. And that’s why Dems need to lean in and work towards dismantling ICE. First no funding. Impeach Noem. Demand hearings on ICE’s operation in MN. Demand that Miller resign. Don’t let up.

Pro tip for any Hill journos, the Speaker can approve 24hr protection for Members who are under heightened threat. Omar used to have this, but Mike Johnson took it away. You should ask him about that

The aggregation of 22 separate federal agencies, most of which had nothing to do with each other, into DHS was the second most corrosive post-9/11 action taken (after the passing of the PATRIOT Act) and I will die on that hill

Ah yes, letting the secret police just do night raids surely fixes the problem
