Apparently I was added to some starter pack list, so I have like 1300 followers now. Cool cool. I'm not really trying to engage with the public so much as find a community, but if you dig what I post, please comment and maybe we'll get to know each other.

The Trump regime is holding press conferences to announce the quiet parts out loud now (often meant for an audience of one).

Correct. Now is the time to be very clear on the fact that you don't give a fucking inch to fascists. Not on anything. Not ever. Everything they are doing is per se illegitimate. The very minimum you demand is an immediate, across-the-board return to regular democratic order and norms. Nothing less.
There is no way Senate Dems should vote for DHS funding while Republicans are threatening to nationalize elections and Trump is threatening to do it by executive order. ICE reforms are no longer enough. Their authoritarianism must be fought with every legislative lever available.

I'm getting big "Dog ate my homework" energy, with a touch of Jon Lovitz's Liar bit.
"We lost the footage. We can't afford to provide the footage the court demanded. You gave us hard drives but we lost them. We had a system crash and nothing was actually recorded in the first place."

Government Loses Hard Drives It Was Supposed to Put ICE Detention Center Footage On
A Kafkaesque saga in which the government has failed to produce critical video footage has reached new levels of absurdity.

There it is: one of the first times anyone in the Trump admin has admitted that protestors & bystanders are legally permitted to protest & document DHS activity.... Just two days ago, this same crowd spent hours claiming DHS agents have been "under attack" in MSP & beyond...
under questioning by Rand Paul, ICE officials confirm that yelling at officers is not assault and recording officers is not a crime

I am reminded of the near-constant incandescent howls of rage from conservatives when Michelle Obama helmed efforts to get healthier food in schools.
Rollins: "School lunches are next. A lot of schools don't even have an oven anymore. When I was growing up, lunch ladies were back there cooking meals on stoves. So how do we completely and fundamentally change the system to go back to where we're serving healthy whole foods to these kiddos?"

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

Why are sheriff departments so much less professional than city police, as a general rule?
Dawanna Witt is the Hennepin County sheriff and Jodi Wentland is the County Administrator. They are responsible for this.
🚨Minneapolis Sheriffs aggressively push ICE protesters into a corner, using their police vehicles to threaten running them over to get them to move.
