every employee of the VA, and every veteran, now has definitive proof that Doug Collins does not have their back and will exploit their death for political gain
the focus is rightly on Noem but this is disqualifying and he should resign or be impeached as well

Absolutely shameful to throw your employee under the bus when they’re murdered, but that’s what happens when you’re in the dumbest cult of personality in the history of the world

Other folks have already noted much of this, but I think the MAGA 'theory of victory' here is:
1) DHS provocations trigger a riot or attack on agents which
2) Leads to widespread civil unrest in many 'blue' cities so that
3) Trump can invoke the insurrection act and send in the troops...

Curious if anyone has a plausible theory of victory for the administration if it were to invoke the Insurrection Act.
How does the administration "win" in such a scenario?
Best I can tell, it is magical thinking by a certain somebody at the White House, but maybe I'm missing something.

We still don't know the names of the ICE agents who killed Gonzàlez behind the wheel of his car outside Chicago in September.
They were unmasked in this BWC footage from Franklin Park police.
If you have any information at all about these men—please text us on Signal at unraveled.66

a CEO is a vibes based position who, upon learning that one woman can make a baby in nine months, reasons that 9 women can make a baby in one month but as a cost saving measure only hires 0.7 women for 29 hours a month to avoid having to pay benefits
Reminded of the post-9/11 tech surge at airports, where billions were spent on unproven new technology. We could've also just hired more screeners and given them shorter shifts to be more alert, but that would actually involve treating people well.
imagine if all that money had gone to teachers instead

One more thing they had in common was that the NRA was shamefully slow and silent in both cases, having long since simply become an arm of the Republican party and willingly followed the GOP's embrace of both racism and fascism.
ICE killing #AlexPretti should remind you of police killing #PhilandoCastille. Both men had concealed weapon permits, did not draw their guns, & were killed in Minn. These homicides are the price of unaccountable policing. These deaths are variations on the same fatal theme.

Two good friends of mine, antifascists, were murdered at separate protests by right wing extremists.
What helped keep me from spiraling was to focus on continuing the antifascist work they were doing. I'm not one of these people who says love your enemies. I hate our enemies. I want them erased.

Absolutely reprehensible that AG Bondi is offering ICE stand down in exchange for access to voting rolls. Outrageous and disgusting. It shows ICE is in Minneapolis is not for law enforcement purposes. Instead it’s a way to stir up shit in blue states and extort them.
In the wake of another fatal shooting in Minneapolis.
AG Pam Bondi sends Gov. Walz a letter today making several asks including:
"Allow DOJ Civil Rights division access to state voter rolls"

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.
