there's this new dynamic where the DOJ cannot win in court and is (relatedly) incapable of meeting the minimum threshold of professional legal conduct, and so an increasing percentage of its actions are purely for intimidation and content

The largest infrastructure projects currently being built in the US appear to be data centers and detention centers. The AI boom has coincided with ICE becoming the most heavily funded government agency. It's hard not to see a connection: This is the architectures of digital fascism

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.

They know their defenses are lies and that everyone knows they’re lying, so they have to push the negative polarization button in the hopes that their supporters rationalize the indefensible. It’s worked so far bsky.app/profile/jwmu...
Putin pioneered this. No opposition is legitimate. Regular, decent, “ordinary” people cannot possibly be against us because only we represent “the real people.”
Tell-tale sign of authoritarianism.

One thing that irks me: people keep calling the folks on the streets in Minneapolis protestors. They are not generally there to protest, they are there to observe and document. This is the product of organizing and mutual aid. It is telling that these acts of citizenship are seen as protest!

Both of Nevada's senators--Catherine Cortez Masto and Jacky Rosen--have officially come out against the DHS funding bill following the execution of Alex Pretti by ICE agents in Minneapolis this morning. This effectively ends the DHS funding bill in the Senate.

Locally, when a police officer shoots someone, another jurisdiction will investigate it so you do not have the officer’s direct co-workers over it. Taking away prosecutorial responsibilities sends a signal.
Mr. Alex Pretti’s last acts were to aid a woman pushed down by agents.

Looks like the fix is in at the federal level.
DHS does not have any prosecutorial authority.
This would have to be a criminal investigation - which is the FBI and DOJ's lane.
DHS also already lied and CBP repeated the lies in stating their pre-investigation conclusions.

MS NOW: "I'm just getting something handed to me -- a statement from DHS -- that it will investigate the fatal shooting of a 37-year-old protester by its officers rather than the FBI. So they're gonna be investigating that which they already issued a summary about. It would seem like a closed book."
