In response to the killing of two U.S. citizens by federal immigration officers, Apple CEO Tim Cook sent a note to his staff praising Trump for “his openness to engaging on issues that matter to us all”

Donald Trump must fire Kristi Noem immediately.

Or Democrats will initiate impeachment proceedings against her in the House.

We can do this the easy way or the hard way.

It's not quite the most pressing issue at the moment, but the American people absolutely have a right to know the names of the federal officials who shot and killed a man peacefully protesting, who was on his knees, prone in the street when they shot him in the back.

A reminder that Maura Healey is the ONLY Democratic governor in New England governor to have a collaboration agreement with ICE.

Healey, despite her words, continues to use OUR tax dollars to provide free labor to ICE.

Let her know it's time to de-ICE MA.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”

That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

look, i don't know if there will be history graduate students in the year 2073, but if there are, you need to know this: colonel lockjaw was not a satire of greg bovino.

one battle after another was filmed entirely before he was a public figure.

The US Holocaust Museum being more outraged by Tim Walz saying that, like Anne Frank, children today are in hiding from armed agents of the state, than they are about the fact that children are in hiding from armed agents of the state, is why Holocaust remembrance culture is in crisis.
Tweet from the US Holocaust Memorial Museum: "Anne Frank was targeted and murdered solely because she was Jewish. Leaders making false equivalencies to her experience for political purposes is never acceptable. Despite tensions in Minneapolis, exploiting the Holocaust is deeply offensive, especially as antisemitism surges."

So many great roles in Capra/other movies, including his lines in It’s a Wonderful Life:

“Dozens of the prettiest little homes you ever saw. Ninety per cent owned by suckers who used to pay rent to you.…one of these days this bright young man is going to be asking George Bailey for a job.”

I just watched a 1964 exploitation flick called MURDER IN MISSISSIPPI. It was cheap, sleazy and honest about the cops and racism - I can't even imagine a similar ICE movie getting. It was didactic, but also let the Freedom Riders be the moral center of the film instead of the FBI. We need pulp.

Stephen Miller and Russ Vought are the two pure ideologues driving the agendas of white nationalism and destroying public services, respectively. They need to be the top political targets. Saying “Kristi Noem must resign” is a sideshow. Prosecute the whole cabinet later, sure, but please focus now.

Rahm Emanuel’s entire shtick has always been about out-Republicaning Republicans on issues Dems have been deemed “soft” on. He is the quintessential poll-driven politico-consultant.

Rather than attempting to lead voters on issues of principle, he has urged following the polls into despair.

Doing some research & remembered this 1996 @rahmemanuel.bsky.social memo imploring President Clinton to "achieve record deportations" & deploy INS (read: ICE) into metropolitan areas.

The execution of Alex Pretti is playing so badly because you can look at his actions and life story - his last act was helping, boy scout, athlete, health care worker to veterans - and compare those to the men who killed him and know which you would want to be your son, brother, father, uncle.

I think it's really bad that the group that claims to speak for Jews at Columbia University is so grossly xenophobic.

Also - Mamdani did grow up in NYC.
Tweet from Columbia Jewish Alumni Association: "Maybe if Mamdani had grown up in NYC and not Uganda, he'd know that snow days are a cherished part of American childhood"

Hey Minnesotans. Have your bosses sent you a mealy-mouthed email about how to remain productive during these troubled times or some other example of non-committal, faux-concerned corporate-speak? We want to publish a bunch of these. Send examples to keith at racketmn.com. You will NOT be identified.

We did predict it. And we were called alarmist.
Screenshot of a tweet from Paul Graham "If someone had predicted before the last election that if Trump won, federal officers would be shooting Americans in the streets, he'd have been dismissed as an alarmist."
