Best read (if at all) after refreshing one's recollection about the rants in his interview with Isaac Chotiner www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a...

WATCH-- Tim Walz on his call with Trump officials: "Not once did they ever say Alex or Renee's name. Not once did they ask how the people of Minnesota were doing. So look, I know who I'm dealing with, and I know the reason that he was calling me was he needed something from us."

The parents of Alex Pretti have retained a former federal prosecutor who helped Minnesota's attorney general convict the police officer who kneeled on George Floyd's neck of murder. https://to.pbs.org/3ZA2HfU

The DHS and Administration: Haha libtards! Wait'll we turn the tables on you and start showing YOUR faces on social media! Meanwhile, us liberals every time we see that image of the 70 year old badass book store owner emerging from a cloud of tear gas without a mask:

You walk into this bar and show your ICE mugshot, you don't pay a dime.

If nothing else today, I got USA Today to print my analogy of the significance of ICE administrative warrants. www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

It’s the 1990s. I’m trying to explain many abuses we see at Ruby Ridge and Waco reflect entrenched practices of law enforcement. It’s the 2000s. I’m trying to explain many abuses we see under the PATRIOT ACT reflect entrenched practices of American law enforcement. It’s 2025. Guess the fuck what.

Whoa. D.Minn's chief judge Patrick Schiltz dockets a list of "96 court orders that ICE has violated in 74 cases." www.courtlistener.com/docket/72120...

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.

Hey, #Lawsky, anyone know a Victim's rights lawyer who practices in MA? Friend knows someone in serious need. Relatively urgent

ICE Agent Stuffs Sock Under Mask To Give Himself Chin

Scrolling through the photos of Pam Bondi's "Minnesota rioters," it's just hero after hero. Every photo includes a cowardly DHS agent with their back to the camera. Bondi thinks she's going to win the propaganda war with this shit, but it's never been more clear that they're losing.

“I watched him die… then I watched them maneuver his body like a rag doll— only to discover it was because they wanted to count the bullet wounds and see how many they ‘got’, like he was a deer.”

When police of any kind are involved in a shooting, the usual practice in most places is to put them on paid leave until something is actually adjudicated. People are reacting to this here because they don't know this, apparently.

Since we published this, Pam Bondi's X account has started posting mugshots of Minnesotans arrested for impeding ICE/CBP. Sharing a defendant's photo publicly in this way is forbidden under DOJ rules

The Trump Administration claims the agents who shot Alex Pretti have been put on administrative leave, notwithstanding Greg Bovino’s prior short statement that they were simply reassigned. There is no reason to credit this assertion as truthful. /1

In Minneapolis, far-right influencers posing as journalists are casting themselves as victims and labeling ICE-watch groups “terrorists.” Their big new evidence—“infiltrated” Signal chats—isn’t a secret, had no calls for violence and urged people to witness, not interfere. www.ms.now/news/minneap...

4th Cir., 2-1, holds that school guidelines requiring employees to keep private students' trans or gender-nonconforming presentation and to use pronouns corresponding to gender identity do not violate a wannabe substitute teacher's 1A rights. www.ca4.uscourts.gov/opinions/251...

What’s the point of legislative reforms when (1) the administration refuses to follow the law and (2) the Supreme Court‘s obedient majority consistently prevents lower courts from enforcing the law against the administration? Seems masturbatory.

Ilan Wurman's anti-birthright citizenship Supreme Court amicus. I won't mince words. He bastardizes the common law. It is a methodologically bankrupt approach to the history of Anglo-American constitutionalism. It is little more than preening to gain someone's favor, but certainly not a scholar's.

Joy Berggren used social media to call Minneapolis protestors un-American, said their speech should be limited, and called for them to be shot. If Free Speech Culture means anything, it means this: nobody should call Joy out or criticize her because that would be cancel culture.

in an ideal world the trauma this couple went through *shouldnt* resonate stronger than a latino family terrorized by ice. but we dont live in that world. we live in the real world. so i applaud it when the most minnesota people possible link arms with us and FIGHT like this.

ICE are alllll over Harlem right now, 116 & Frederick Douglass, checking IDs and targeting the area’s African community. Multiple people have been detained. Community members are advising folks to carry citizenship documents - or stay away if they are at risk

A retired Minneapolis couple who had guns pointed at them by ICE in a church parking lot. "They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets." "They had the professional demeanor of criminals." ht: @paulgraham.bsky.social

NEW from @justinrohrlich.bsky.social: “I’m not surprised this happened,” Ilhan Omar attacker Anthony Kazmierczak’s brother said. “Not at all. Unfortunately, he and my mother are both right-wing extremists.” "In my mind, he’s a piece of s**t," he added. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

BREAKING: Senior Judge Brooke Jackson has blocked the USDA from forcing Colorado into a "pilot program," ostensibly to detect fraud in food assistance across five counties. He'll issue a written order soon, but his questioning of the DOJ lawyer gives you some sense of how Jackson viewed the case:

My operating assumption is that he tried to do a hasty coup in 2020 that failed, and so everything he does in his second term should be understood as laying the groundwork for a second coup to succeed.

5th Cir. holds that the felon-in-possession ban violated the Second Amendment as applied to man who had only a felony conviction for simple possession of meth. Held: Founding-era punishments for theft, fraud, deceit crimes are not analogous to substance crimes. www.ca5.uscourts.gov/opinions/pub...

Eric Lee, an immigration attorney out of Michigan, reports that the Dilly center has been put on lockdown

Every single time a Trumpist says “the rhetoric of the left is putting people in danger,” wave your middle finger in their face, because they are lying shitbirds without any principles.

Trump continues to lie and incite violence against Rep. Ilhan Omar: "I think she's a fraud ... she probably had herself sprayed, knowing her."

This is why I have real fucking problem with blithe criticisms of "polarization" or "congressional dysfunction." We have a Republican member blaming his colleague for being attacked. The problem isn't polarization or dysfunction. It's the Republican Party.

Hell yeah!

"I majored in Ancient Greek and Latin at Dartmouth. Your pretentiousness" That's where I started laughing. #EAIAC

This is Minneapolis. Collective trauma, and neighbors helping neighbors. This is our 24/7 every day lives right now, not just a 10 second news clip.

Department of Justice Civil Rights Division Chief Harmeet Dhillon Announces New Policy: Federal Government Will Not Obey Any Court Order Unless The Judge Went To Ivy For Undergrad And Law School. “And Not Brown!” Added Dhillon.

We probably would not see eye to eye on a lot, but serious props to the Cato Institute for their absolute pile of great, full-throated defenses of immigration. They’ve done impressive work in this area for years now.

Incredibly, this is an actual photo New York Post used for the guy who attacked Ilhan Omar.

Jew in Amsterdam here. Please use Anne Frank as a comparison point to explain how state persecution of scapegoats impacts children, that is the point of her example, thanks

Rand Paul: "There has to be an investigation. I don't know who trusts an investigation done by DHS when they're the ones calling this person an 'assassin,' a 'domestic terrorist,' saying he was assaulting police. How can they be in charge of an independent investigation? Something's got to happen."

Judge SYKES in California has grown increasingly frustrated that her attempt to grant nationwide class action relief from the Trump administration's mandatory detention policy has not stopped the flood of habeas petitions. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

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...

Trump’s fundraisers are now using the threat of dispatching ICE against citizens as an email engagement tactic.
