Advantage for what. The election's not til november. I know it's hard to believe chris but life in america consists of more than poll-testing messages
People are waving around 50/50 polling on abolish ICE and in the same poll Trump’s is like 30 points under water on affordability. It’s not at all crazy for professional politicians to think there’s a bigger advantage in talking about the latter!

Could a Democrat, any Democrat, release a statement actually thanking the people that have been out there doing the fucking work instead of this constant scolding tone for the love of God
Respectfully, look at this fucking bullshit that we’re dealing with, not a single person here has “taken the bait.” We have born witness as little kids are used as bait and neighbors are kidnapped on our streets. A mad dipshit is going to invoke the Insurrection Act regardless and you are blaming us
Violence only helps Trump & may provide him an excuse to further trample our rights by invoking the Insurrection Act.

Aww they were "simply trying to take bathroom breaks." Bet you all feel pretty bad now. They're just little guys, little peepee boys, and it's also their birthday
Border Patrol agents are very sad that everyone in Minnesota hates them.
“At each gas station where the agents stopped to use the restroom, groups of agitators appeared, yelled at them, stalked them, and even tried to prevent law enforcement vehicles from leaving…”

All I have ever heard about every news story from Bill Clinton to drag shows is “it’s awful, parents have to explain this to their children, why can’t we just let kids be kids?”
Now an entire classroom is going to go home to parents trying to explain why their five year friend was taken by the govt

Liam is one of four Columbia Heights, MN school district students who have been taken by ICE in the last two weeks, the school district said. Liam's teacher: “He is so kind and loving, and his classmates miss him. He ... just brightens the room. All I want is for him to be back here and safe.”

Maybe now the media has permission to treat it as a scandal, since they tried to cover it up
This is insane not just the explicit "go break the 4A" substance but how they knew how bad it was, acting in guilty paranoia to cover it up and suppress the written evidence.
This isn't how running a government agency works. This is what a criminal conspiracy looks like, because that's what it is.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

The thing about trump confusing greenland and iceland is that now he's going to claim that they also had a secret plan for taking over iceland all along, which he can now reveal because in his infinite magnanimity & benevolence he's decided not to invade so it doesn't matter

He said he needed greenland for psychological reasons, no one gave it to him, and now he's dead. I hope you're all proud of yourselves

I think we’ve got better and more culturally-varied street food than I could have imagined, cool jackets galore, and drugs that make us think we’re really fast and strong before they kill us.
we're getting all the downsides of cyberpunk (social alienation, ruthless hyper capitalism, digital mass surveillance state) but none of the promised upsides (cheap street food, cool jackets, super drugs that make you really fast and strong before they kill you)

Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino said well-organized protesters in Minnseota make the ICE operation harder.
"They've got some excellent communications," Bovino said.

Fascinated how basically in every country now rightwingers complain about "woke," using the english word or similar (e.g. "le wokisme"). When you think about it as a specifically anti-African American reactionary movement, you could say facebook's big accomplishment is globalizing the confederacy
It’s really hard to overstate the extent to which conservatives are now just the same type of facebook ogre in every single country with few or no other defining affiliations

Once again everything tricia mclaughlin said (that he lived with sex offenders, that he refused to show ID) was a complete lie, and when called out on it, DHS just goes dark. Ridiculous to print anything she says without an enormous disclaimer up front
