He really is doing all of it.

Again, every Democrat needs to announce that lawbreakers in the Administration (including, she’d maybe especially) ICE agents will be federally investigated and prosecuted and that the federal government will not represent them in state prosecutions.

If you’re a democratic leader and you don’t want to do the right thing because of personal backlash now is the time to step away. Because these jobs are about doing what is right and taking the fire. That’s the job.

Protester: Clearly, if they're throwing weapons at us, they're afraid. They don't want us here because we have power against them. I'm not going anywhere. I'm going to be out here for the coming weeks until ICE is off of our streets and stops terrorizing our neighbors and killing our neighbors.

Murdering a wife and mother. Abducting a baby and giving it a bruise on the cheek. Flashbanging a car full of kids, including a 6 month old. They better fucking hope we only stop at “Abolish ICE”

They're literally taking hostages

I've read most of the scholarship about US policing since the early 20th century. What you learn from this is that violence is inherent. You cannot "separate" out violence from policing. Police in the U.S. are violence workers.

Scenes from a personalist regime: the president’s personal lawyer threatens to arrest the elected leaders of an occupied city

"Canisters collected from protest areas contained trace amounts of hexachloroethane (commonly HC), a white powder that, when heated in the presence of metal salts, reacts to form a dense cloud of green or white smoke that smells like camphor and wreaks havoc on biological systems." archive.ph/qKlnw

We are at the “Minnesotans are spray painting their broiler pans for body armor” stage of the fight

It would be nice if this at least made us question the wisdom of always and ever enabling abusive men. Threatening someone else of terrorism because your guys keep shooting people is just the gaslighting so common in domestic abuse.

How close is this to a real version of civil war at this point? Blanche is the second most powerful person in the United States Justice Department and he's shitposting on social media threatening a governor and mayor with terrorism charges.

I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen *Everyone has stories like this*

#OtD 12 Jan 1989 punks were identified as the main problem in a "youth analysis" by the East German govt. Punks were surveilled, arrested and beaten, had their mohawks cut off, movements restricted and badjacketed if they refused to be informants stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/8402...

Right-wingers are pushing the most extreme pro-fascist shit that we've seen in this country for DECADES meanwhile regular-ass people are putting their actual lives on the line to defend their communities and somehow abolishing ICE, an entity that started in 2003, is a messaging ish???? i am

It absolutely matters.

between the X TOS thing and the alex jones appeal thing it once again occurs to me how weird it is that there’s a handful of judges literally everyone knows a right winger can go to and get whatever they want, even from completely outside that judge’s circuit, and we pretend we have a real country

A competent opposition political party would cut together the footage of what ICE had been doing in the twin cities with Mike Johnson saying "ICE is doing what ICE is designed to do" and have it in ads all across the country

This good-natured, 34-year-old, Muslim, immigrant man—who the Times bemoaned was too young and radical to “get anything done”—has accomplished more good governance in a *week* on the job than most liberal politicians accomplish in their whole careers. With a smile & a joyful heart. A blessing.

Bravely bold Josh Hawley bravely ran away away apnews.com/article/trum...

As he said, this is what our law enforcement is designed to do. Which is why Abolish the Police is the correct position.

Thank you for the admission, time to abolish it.

relevant to the debate over whether we should keep funding DHS without reforms and accountability for how out of control their spending is

How do you drive around for 9 hours and NOT STOP DRINKING TO SOBER UP???

The Congressional Progressive Caucus, a group of nearly 100 House Democrats, will announce later today that it's formally endorsing legislation to strip $175 billion from ICE and put it toward affordable housing. www.huffpost.com/entry/doj-fe...

Yeah man all my friends in Minnesota are buying high viz vests and forming human chains at class dismissals because ICE is targeting and tear gassing schools. I wonder why parents would want information about that.

This is (1) absolutely legal and (2) the objectively correct moral position And way more people recognize this obvious truth than places like CNN are ready to understand.

This. This is what I'm talking about. Politicians and pundits who can't bring themselves to say "Abolish ICE" do not realize that THIS is what thousands of everyday normal, decent people are doing. bsky.app/profile/vsch...

We could have paid teachers at any time. We could have simply offered a dignified wage to do any of the work we need done at any time. San Fransisco could be clean right now. It was always a matter of political will.

If they put ICE and police budgets into social services and schools the ostensible need for both would disappear.

what the fuck are we doing here, @cnn.com?

Trump, during an "economic" speech today in Detroit, can't help but fixate on "wine mom gangs," saying they're "doing these fake riots." They go practice. They go to areas, they take hotel rooms, and they all practice together. It’s a whole scam. We’re finding out who’s funding all this stuff."

it’s so funny when people agree with a three year old and assume it’s because the three year old is unusually smart

Friends, this is Third Way. This is what they exist to do.

A respected left-liberal columnist describing Michelle Goldberg as "always perceptive" is either a "big club and you aren't in it" moment, or a "journalism is as dumb as everyone says it is" one.

I love the OG so this feels unnecessary, but I feel like Hot Fuzz would be a good ridiculously good anime. You have the protagonist become slowly more suspicious of an actual crazy plot, everyone else being demented idiots, and an absolutely absurd ending that would only get better in anime form.

"We stand with those who are detained or killed by #ICE, treated unjustly and vilified...We proclaim a God who values all people and who calls us again and again to remind the world to value the lives of all", says @pcusa.bsky.social about the murder of Renee Good. "in defense of human dignity"

Bluesky is very much a sports website when Aaron Rodgers is eating that shit

It would take a two-word amendment to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 to subject ICE agents and other federal law enforcement officers to the same liability for constitutional violations that local and state officers currently face. If Congress actually cared about what it's seeing, it could pass that overnight.

That "fucking bitch"… that's the tone of a man who isn't scared. That's a man who felt emasculated. That's the tone and the words of an abuser. I know it. Every woman knows it. Period.

NEW: Top DOJ officials quit after their division refused to probe Minnesota ICE shooting - At least four leaders of the Civil Rights Division resigned because the section's head, Harmeet Dhillon, decided not to investigate shooting of Renee Good. www.ms.now/news/doj-civ...

Other people go have a drink after a loss like this but Aaron Rodgers is going to go out there and get measles

Corporate self-promotion or not, this is a very moving description of what seems like a genuine act of inclusion. Click through for the list of new features that help give Autistic Barbie her identity.

"The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first attack on a 'drug boat,' killing 11 ... the laws of armed conflict prohibit combatants from feigning civilian status to fool adversaries into dropping their guard, then killing them. That is a war crime."

Sorry, what? The federal “investigation” into ICE’s killing of an American is investigating the *victim*?

100%. If you want an alternative slogan you can go with "Abolish ICE before they kill again."

to any politicians out there: the only metric by which i am deciding my votes in any future Democratic primary is how far they're willing to go in punishing this administration and i am far from the only one

Jonathan Ross, who shot Renee Good in the face, is local. Derek Chauvin, who knelt on George Floyd's neck, is local.

Even just that first paragraph hits too close to home, I'm afraid. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

This is your regular reminder that authoritarianism is just domestic abuse writ large.
