So, if I'm reading this right: 4 prosecutors at the Dept of Justice Civil Rights division quit because the Trump-appointed leadership won't investigate Good's killer, and 6 from the Minnesota US Attorney's office quit when they were told instead to investigate her widow. (HT @benjaminkabak.com)

Those damn women are acting like they're citizens in a democracy.

1. There’s something we need to talk about before talking about anything else related to Renee Nicole Good’s murder. It's that the likelihood of convicting her killer is very low.

"Three Minnesota federal prosecutors resigned over the Justice Department’s push to investigate the widow of a woman killed by an ICE agent and its reluctance to investigate the shooter, according to people with knowledge of their decision."

This is what Susan Collins has allowed to happen to our FBI. #mepolitics

Obviously the Smithsonian shouldn’t hand over anything but also it’s a bit rich for the White House to be acting like deadlines for producing documents are important to them

"The reported criminal inquiry into Federal Reserve Chair Jay Powell is an unprecedented attempt to use prosecutorial attacks to undermine [the Fed's] independence." It's a hell of a list of signatories jointstatement.substack.com/p/statement-...

Without Susan Collins in the Senate, this would never happen. #mepolitics

ICE and CBP are costumed as soldiers and acting like soldiers, @joshtpm.bsky.social writes. They’re being sent into blue cities to menace and overawe civilian spaces as though they are enemy territory, conquered rather than governed.

in which Karoline Leavitt calls the late Renee Good a "deranged lunatic woman"

Armed soldiers lawlessly breaking into American homes. Susan Collins is responsible for this. It would stop if she wanted to stop it. She doesn’t. #mepolitics

From a good friend in Minneapolis: "Target is allowing ICE to stage in their parking lots, use their restrooms, and abduct people from inside their stores - so if you weren’t boycotting already, now is the time." They were staging in Chicago as well.

"Congress needs to investigate the Department of Justice" from two different GOP Senators now.

Important reminder. I remember when all of America was outraged by this. Today it’s happening everyday. We should be ashamed and disgusted. It needs to stop.

This picture was taken in 2000 by an Associated Press photographer who was allowed to be present as an observer. ICE now keeps press blocks away from the areas where they are operating. One of the first actions ICE takes during a raid is to confiscate phones.

I’m not a doctor or a lawyer or an EMT. But I’m human and I know the difference between right and wrong.

“Can I check a pulse?” yelled the bystander, standing across Portland Avenue from Renee Good’s lifeless body inside her crashed SUV, video footage of the exchange shows. “No,” an agent replies. “Back up.” “I’m a physician!” “I don’t care.”

The beating will continue until morale improves

They should but won’t. Collins cares about only one thing: staying in the Senate. She’s addicted to the status and prestige. Nothing else matters. #mepolitics

With Trump going full authoritarian on Venezuela-Greenland, ICE, and the Fed, the response has to be serious. Four Republican senators (Tillis, McConnell, Murkowski, Collins?) could announce they’ll caucus for now with the Dems to give them control of the Senate to check Trump.

we have been way too tolerant of cowards: we should be demanding that far more people in power who claim to be against the murderous evil of MAGA meet the standard currently being demonstrated by Jerome Fucking Powell

cc: Senator Collins This should be obvious and easy. #mepolitics

You know the thing where Musk seems smart until he starts talking about things you know about? Finance dudes are about to go through that with Trump.

Vast majority of responsible people know Trump is corrupt. But far too few will say it out loud. That needs to change. Thanks to Mr Powell for setting an example.

Exactly this! 👇👇👇👇

I am a Diamond member of their loyalty program ready to abandon my status. None of us can afford to sit this out.

Boycott all Hilton properties. Fuck ICE

I wrote to the CEO last week. If (like me) you’re a regular Hilton customer, consider doing the same.

"At schools, volunteers are forming human chains as students and employees enter and leave, with whistles to blow if ICE shows up. Volunteers—many of them moms already involved at their schools—divvy up tasks, such as delivering groceries to immigrant families..." www.wsj.com/us-news/insi...

Labeling someone like Rene Good a domestic terrorist, on the same day she was killed, is also ridiculous. And disgusting, dangerous, and dishonest.

This is rude and disrespectful. Also crude and juvenile.

ICE masks are like Trump’s bandaged ear in that both do a terrible job of hiding the weak piece of shit underneath

What a tiny, pitiful, disgusting little man.

Who could possibly have foreseen this? /s (Answer: Anyone whose knowledge of immigration-and-economics, especially through US history, extends beyond Jean Raspail's "Camp of the Saints.")

Former special counsel Jack Smith tells a congressional committee that his team found "proof beyond a reasonable doubt” that President Trump engaged in a “criminal scheme” to overturn the results of the 2020 election, according to portions of his opening statement obtained by NBC News.

NEW: Meanwhile, remarkable scenes right now close to the site where Renee Nicole Good was murdered by ICE. Around 10,000 have gathered in the Minneapolis neighborhood in protest.

Vance and Miller are pudding-soft cowards who are addicted to praise from other pudding-soft cowards cosplaying on Twitter with bald eagle avatars. Trump is a narcissist who will take praise wherever he can get it. And shitty men are easy to impress by punching down.

Angus King needs to hear from Mainers. This is not OK. #mepolitics

at some point we're gonna have to have a real conversation about why we're still paying federal taxes to a regime that isn't using them to help anyone, but instead is using them to brutalize us

This man needs to sit in front of a jury and explain himself.

We're at the scene of a protest in downtown Minneapolis outside the Canopy by Hilton hotel, where ICE agents are believed to be staying. Photographer Alex Kormann estimates at least 1,000 people are in attendance.

So an officer has his phone out recording obviously distracted, shoots a woman and calls her a “f’ing Bitch” and they think that HELPS the case?!?

This is so profoundly horrifying on so many levels. I don't even know what to think or to say about the agent not even devoting his full attention or both hands to threatening to shoot and then actually shooting this woman in the face.

There are more of us than them. A lot more.
