I can't tell you exactly when a euphemism rises to the level of a capital offense, but I can tell you that referring to two cold-blooded executions as "poor professionalism" rises stratospherically above it.

So when the next legal observer is murdered by ICE in the Twin Cities, that will be an "aftermath story"?
Apparently the trick to the authoritarian oppression of a population is to simply wait til the journalists lose interest.

Actually, one more thing. The story isn’t over. But it’s mostly aftermath stories now. It’s not going to be people who are there to cover as it happens. It’s going to be quieter work that you’ll see in print in 9 months.

My best friend is dying from brain cancer in a distant freezing city under siege by a secret police force but aside from that everything is perfectly all right now, thank you. We're all fine here now. How are you?

I don't understand how politics works, I was assured two days ago, when I dared object to the Democrats allowing government funding to resume. Shut up, they've got DHS on a short leash, the 'experts' insisted.
I will admit I don't know how politics works. But I sure can tell how it DOESN'T work.

I wonder how many Innocent Minnesotans have to die to ICE gunfire before Congress takes action against anyone for anything. Will three be enough? Thirty? Three-hundred? How many?

Want to get rid of Stephen Miller?
Get reporters to repeatedly ask the President, "Is it true that Stephen Miller is actually the president and you're a figurehead?"
One or the other of them will be gone in a week.

"Minnesota Proved MAGA Wrong" - Adam Serwer, 'The Atlantic'

Bougie East-coast publications usually annoy me by being out of touch and supporting antiquated cultural values. Serwer went to Minnesota, rode with commuters, saw the situation. It makes a difference.

Okay, but given the state's ancestry wouldn't this be like awarding a Nobel to oneself?
Hahaha can you imagine how insufferable we’d be if the People of Minnesota won the Nobel peace prize
Some thoughts:
1. The deadline for nominating a person or group for the Nobel Peace Prize is Feb. 1.
2. History professors are qualified nominators.
3. The people of Minnesota have been awe-inspiringly peaceful in the face of state violence.
4. He would be so mad.
