Hat tip to @geraldcoleman.bsky.social for doing The Work.

Arresting journalists. Fatally shooting protestors. Turning the military on citizens. Attempting to rig elections. Toying with the idea of declaring martial law. If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?

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.

Curious why ICE and CBP agents are so brutal? Here's a useful explainer I wrote last week, before Saturday's outrageous murder, about how uniquely unsuited ICE and CBP are for this moment—and why they were so corruptible into Trump's own fascist secret police: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/ice-101-ho...

Transphobia is a cancer of the heart and mind. It is a useless fear, based on ignorance and cruelty. Trans people are not responsible for a single one of the problems we face. Do the world a favor and grow the fuck up.

Here’s a comment for the people who are upset that MN hasn’t charged Jonathan Ross already: If you just Leeeroy Jenkins this shit you will lose and you will empower fascism and murder. It is indescribably hard to prosecute cops for murder. It is even hard when the murder is ON VIDEO. /1

/2 There was a broad consensus in 1992 — among people like those likely reading this thread — that the Rodney King video inarguably showed illegal police brutality. The cops were acquitted. LA burned. For multiple reasons the jurors didn’t share that reality or perception.

/3 It’s nice to have crime on video but there is a great danger of video making a prosecution overconfident and complacent. I won a prison riot case years back when I was on the Indigent Defense Panel because of that — the prosecution was overconfident in the video.

/4 I got a NG because the prosecution thought everyone would see the video the way they did, and didn’t think too hard “well does the video actually show the crime, or just show mayhem in general?” They focused on the optics over the elements.

/5 [For the record it was more hijinks than a riot, the case was overcharged. The Rolling 60s crip client, who had shaved off his eyebrows and tattooed “FUCK YOU” where they used to be, got a shocked look at the NG and glanced at me with a “ok, not bad,” which is a career highlight.]

/6 [Also the rookie AUSA I beat in his first trial in that case is a judge now and I appear in front of him. It’s a funny old world.] But I digress. Rushing into a case with everything stacked against you is foolish and self-indulgent.

/7 Prosecuting a cop for misconduct, let alone murder, is the hardest prosecution you can do in America. Thanks to America’s culture it’s like trying to convict a fucking kitten for high treason. It’s like trying to convict Jesus. You just cannot rush over confidently into that.

/8 A huge part of what makes it very hard to convict Jonathan Ross for murder was baked into America generations before Trump was President. That’s the primary factor that lets law enforcement kill with impunity, not Trump. Dick Wolf has killed more black men than Leopold II.

/9 So, the Jonathan Ross case. Imagine that MN prosecutors listen to people on the internet and rush to charge him to show “we don’t tolerate murder around here.” The feds have swept up all the physical crime scene evidence and quite possibly altered, destroyed, or disappeared it.

/10 The feds will be co-opting and threatening witnesses, and stochastically encouraging Trumpists to do so. The ICE agents on scene will be expected and eager to lie however necessary to defend their fellow Gestapo. Anyone within ICE who cooperates will be attacked, fired, maybe prosecuted.

/11 There will be legions of junk scientists and gun-for-hire experts ready to testify that Ross was following policy and acted reasonably. (And this all elides the complicated set of rules that will apply when the prosecution gets removed to federal court, by the way.)

/12 If you think it is obvious that the videos prove murder and nobody can say otherwise, your view is based on how you want the system to be, not how it is. It will be brutally hard, fighting inch by inch against what America is, to convict Jonathan Ross. Your feelings don’t enter into it.

/13 That is why it is utterly foolish to be mad they haven’t charged Jonathan Ross already. Any chance of winning demands meticulous planning. That’s what I hope they do.

/14 Postscript: I am indebted to this post to make me realize that my life will be better with a new blocking rule, and that’s why I am blocking everyone who responds to this with “so you’re saying give up? So you’re saying don’t prosecute?” bsky.app/profile/hero...

Just a reminder --

Margaret, thank you for posting this. It is so important that victims KNOW they are not alone. The abuse is NOT their fault. It’s unfortunately more common than anyone thinks. I’m certain the mistreatment of the Epstein victims is triggering for many. #Pinks #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory
