Minnesota’s observers monitoring DHS/ICE abuses deserve the Nobel Peace Prize.

🧵 @jburnmurdoch.ft.com is spot on about the conditions in his FT piece. Liberal democracy held it together thanks to growth, good demographics, and the promise of a better future. Those days are gone, and that’s the "why" behind the erosion. However...

Putin has an extreme hatred for American exceptionalism and wants to make the US look like Russia on the world stage. In order for that to happen, he needs Trump & the other Republicans to behave like Russia. To that end, Putin may fantasize about the US having a Chechnya.

Dear white people of @bsky.app, please consider gathering your friends, family, (cousins, aunts, uncles, etc.), and telling them all that racism affects white people, too. It played a large role in the murder of Renee Nicole Good, by ICE agent Jonathon Ross. Sincerely, Black People

For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies

I did a quick thread about a niche but really consequential mass surveillance legal authority that is set to expire in the next few months. When Congress attempts to reauthorize it we need people to *wake up* to the threat this is in the hands of the Trump administration and rein it in.

I rarely ask people to donate money to something. When I do, it is because I believe there is an unambiguous good to come of it. This is one of those times.

If anything, the Signal story shows how the felon regime is not going to abide a by official records laws which indicate records, such as the communications in the Signal chat, must be preserved. They’ll hide everything. This story cannot be yesterday’s news. Keep talking about it.

That's a key element of fascism, that they don't accept the rules apply to them. They celebrate their criminality, because the purpose of the law is to criminalize the out-group, not restrain the in-group.
