The US Administration ordered her to seized off the street by masked agents, imprisoned incognito for weeks, all for thoughtfully expressing an opinion with zero advocacy of violence or harm to anyone. Sickening, anti-Conservative, anti-constitutional, anti-American. We are far better than this.

I get that they feel the need to shovel money into capex and now desperately need some offsetting revenue source but even as a pure business decision this seems wrong to me, for the same reason shoving ads into Microsoft Word is wrong. are you building a Serious Work Product or not?

😳 "Media in friendly allied nation you like to vaction to reports your government is meeting seperatists in a secure military/intelligence facility"

I was really hoping that halftime show from a stellar Peurto Rican artist would have beem more political. Bad Bunny should have looked at the camera and said loudly in English "End the Jones Act Now"

What do these supposed super patriots think the patriot Committees of Correspondence and Committees of Safety were? It was the 1775 version of a signal chat keeping eyes on the British to make sure they didnt do anything heinous.

Thinking about whoever said that by accepting a meal from people and then arresting them ICE agents broke a cultural taboo that was invented by, like, the first humans to set up a tent

Man, someone sounds really mad that a bunch of Minneapolis soccer moms can manage op-sec while the Secretary of Defense texts his battle plans to the editor in chief of the Atlantic.

On the weakness of state terror: once ppl internalize the regime's lawless brutality, that they are no safer in their homes than in the streets (& vice versa), and that their unwavering defiance is what confounds & disempowers the regime, they also realize they have nothing to lose but their fear.

“you seem to be getting radicalized by this” you mean the government executing peaceful protesters and then lying about it and trying to destroy the evidence? yeah a bit

"Recent events have brought Trump’s governing style into sharper focus," Jonathan Rauch argues. "'Fascist' best describes it, and reluctance to use the term has now become perverse."

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

Everything Stephen Miller and DHS say should be presumed to be a lie, without exception.

Pretti clearly did not brandish his gun. Which means the government is saying he was killed for legally exercising his right to carry. It’s as clear-cut a violation of the Second Amendment as I can possibly imagine. And we’re about to see the bulk of the gun rights crowd defend his murder.

As with the murder of Renee Good, this video immediately established that DHS was lying about the shooting. The video shows that this was murder. And once again, DHS is obstructing local authorities from investigating a homicide in their community perpetrated by DHS agents.

I am watching what is happening in Minneapolis on Ali Velshi and one of the ICE officers (off camera) literally says, “It’s like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?” as they shoot whatever it is they are shooting. Agents walking around, guns unholstered for no reason. This is insanity

THEY TRIED TO GET A WARRANT TO CRIMINALLY INVESTIGATE THE WOMAN THEY SHOT DEAD

Carney: "In a time of rising populism and ethnic nationalism, Canada can show how diversity is a strength, not a weakness... Canada can't solve all the world's problems. But we can show that another way is possible. That the arc of history isn't destined to be warped toward authoritarianism".

People who say this are clearly speaking aspirationally about a shared American creed they hold dear. “Have you heard of the Trail of Tears?” is not a very helpful response, because they probably have and the priority right now is moral opposition to fascism and not fake-educating each other.

I grew up hearing stories from my father about how folks abducted by Franco’s secret police would routinely “escape” to the roof of police HQ and “commit suicide.” The obviousness of the lie was itself an intimidation tactic.

"Most Americans don't think ICE should be the largest law enforcement agency in the country, by the way. But they have to be told that's what's happening." @dplouffe.bsky.social joins @timmiller.bsky.social on today's Bulwark Podcast.

Dem leadership seems out of gas. Goons of the state are murdering americans, rule of law is collapsing into a personalist maelstrom, and the executive runs around thinking it has the ability to engage in war without the approval of congress. Schumer's idea? Go after those pesky grocery stores!

It might sound silly, but I mean it: The easiest and most potent way for Europe to hurt Trump this year is to once again use its cultural soft power and to threaten a boycott of the World Cup. It would become a completely meaningless event and would hurt him where he is most vulnerable - his vanity.

It doesn't take an idiot to see that a lot of accounts saying this are sock puppets at best. Some folks would really like to get us yelling at each other instead of ICE

I guess if Paris is worth a mass, Caracas is worth a Nobel?

Non-protesting dad just trying to hustle his kids, as young as 6mo, out of the neighborhood. ICE threw a flash-bang INTO HIS car, all 6 kids in the hospital now. If anyone wondered how things turn against occupying armies there's a case study playing out in front of you.

Minneapolis is in a very real sense taking the sins of the American electorate onto its own shoulders

Good but also frustrating, that europe cannot act directly and clearly in response to blatant aggression. Even if your theory is that the US president has pudding for brains, may change his mind and is just generally mentally incompetent, you do need to signal clearly consequences.

On the drive home I was idly thinking about what changes I'd make, if I could, to our system of governance after this administration is - ideally - gone. I suppose in no particular order, here is a list of what I'd do, sorted by the mechanism for doing it.

In addition to Good's murder, ICE has been busy in Minneapolis causing car wrecks and traffic jams, filling the streets with tear gas and goons with loaded weapons, issuing specific threats and sewing general chaos. This is not law enforcement to preserve order. It's an occupation to cause chaos.

Pam Bondi is going to announce tomorrow that Jerome Powell tried to ram Donald Trump with his car

A crucial thing we are seeing is that even progressive Americans are living in a media ecosystem that sanewashes Trump, and people in other countries see things far clearer.

People might argue that ICE is not recruiting quality agents. But I would insist that they are in fact successfully recruiting the exact sort of person needed to carry out the mission: reactionary, angry, violent people who don’t believe in democracy. www.ms.now/opinion/ice-...

My message to my friends still on X: You think it gives you a voice. But you are being used. You are being used to lend validity to a site designed in every way to amplify the voices of the most despicable people out there.

Have we really become so woke that we’re no longer comfortable with ICE shooting unarmed women and yelling “fuck you bitch” as they die?

I do hope a future president needing something to do with all the armed thugs in ICE they may not be able to simply fire immediately puts them on administrative duty writing internal memos on how to improve DEI in immigration enforcement.

This was murder. Trump is defending a murder, a murder committed on his behalf. America is not being made safe. It is becoming more dangerous each and every day because Donald Trump is a criminal who commands and encourages others to commit crimes on his behalf—as he has done for years.

Walz: "It's beyond me that apparently from the federal government, the Homeland Security director herself, has already determined who this person who, what their motive was, and they hadn't even been taken out of the vehicle. We're not living in a normal world."

In a sense, the point is that the lie is obvious. If the situation were more ambiguous, defending the shooter wouldn't send as clear a signal. They're telling ICE "you will be protected even in clear cut cases of cold-blooded murder, at least if the victim is considered an undesirable."

It is quite clever of some Navy Program officer to name the next ship after Trump so that he takes the blame when it goes down in procurement disaster like the Constellation frigates, litoral combat ship, and the Zumwalt.

It’s not just total randos either. I have no problem with Mamdani having a friendly meeting with the president but the people jizzing themselves over the prospect of illiberal horseshoe politics are a big problem.

Lots of people are calling out the fact that X is filled with fake MAGA influencers from far away countries, but I wanted to point out that this, not "ideological censorship," is why companies have trust & safety teams that work on stopping inauthentic behavior.
