“Respect for the truth comes close to being the basis for all morality — something cannot emerge from nothing.” Frank Herbert, Dune.
White people, however, continue to disappoint.
Trump gained support in some key demographics in 2024. One year into his term, most of those demos support him even less than they did in 2020.

🚨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.

Jan 6 rioters physically attacked police officers and were lionized and pardoned for it so who actually thinks MAGA cares about this?
ICE agents are now racially profiling and harassing *off duty police officers* in Minnesota and demanding their papers.

Democrats are the ones who have legislation to divert ICE funds to the overwhelmed local police departments.

Kinda like how Democrats funded law enforcement programs with the ARPA as Republicans voted against it.

Honestly, this is probably the best thing that can happen.
Cops need to grasp the very obvious fact that Republicans hate them too, and their sycophancy won’t save them either.
As if 9/11 first responders legislation, Jan 6 pardons, and open carry weren’t enough… maybe this will do it.

What's remarkable is not just that Trump is so loathsome and narcissistic that he doesn't care when an innocent woman is killed in a protest unless and until he finds out that her dad was a fan of his ... it's that he's so disregulated he *can't help but say so out loud*.
Trump: "ICE is gonna be too rough with somebody. They're gonna make a mistake sometimes. I felt horribly when I was told the young woman had the tragedy. But when I learned her father is - I hope he still is, but I don't know - was a tremendous Trump fan. It's terrible. It's so sad. It just happens"

Trump: "They didn't allow the water to come down from the Pacific Northwest. They routed the water into the Pacific Ocean. So we had no water there. No, he had -- I would say open up the water. Open it up to the governor, the mayor. They wouldn't do it. They wanted to protect a tiny little fish."

Remember when Joe Biden had a raspy voice and every major news organization created a 10-person Biden Is Old investigative team?

This is a preliminary injunction (not a Temporary Restraining Order) — it is very, very thorough and to my mind written to withstand appellate review.

Huge win here by @aclu.org. Similar to a court order we and our partners obtained recently in Chicago in a similar case.
It's important not just because of the order itself, but because it creates a forum for accountability for federal officers who violate it who can now be held in contempt.
