ICE Started the Fire
Rather than trying to calm things down, the government is fanning the flames.

Renee Good was alive when the bystander physician asked to check her pulse. She was alive when ICE refused to let him help. She was alive when they told him “I don’t care.”

I guess one clarifying aspect of the regime's occupation of Minneapolis is that *no one* is coming to save us. No elected officials will protect you against the lawless thugs marauding around your streets. They won't even pretend to offer help.
They will hold indignant press conferences though.

I don't think people realize how quickly self-sorting is happening as the middle evaporates.

We are so far past the Rubicon that it isn't worth having a discussion anymore as to whether Trump is acting as an authoritarian. The only question is whether we have the strength and courage to get back to the other side.

Talking about “better training” for ICE really is a “let’s form a blue ribbon commission” move: It’s something you say when you want to appear to be doing something, but are afraid to do propose anything that might actually matter.

More Dems need to think about skating to where the puck will be not where it is.
All indications are Trump's brain has turned to mush and no one around him will even try to control his worst impulses.
He will just get way crazier and more evil and unpopular by November.

This is a critical point. What we're really witnessing is the *collapse* of law and order, brought about by Trump's lawless thugs. I think a lot of ordinary people intuitively understand that this is what's happening.
It is hard to explain institutional collapse to voters; videos where state actors are clearly acting in abusive ways explain themselves.
This is incredible: 81% of working class and 83% of young voters have seen video of Renee Good's killing, per new data I've obtained. Majority of working class disapproves of ICE enforcement. ICE brutality is breaking through big time.

ICE just confronted us in our car saying it’s our first & final warning. There’s nothing illegal about driving your car safely on Stinson, Lowry, or any street in our community.
They are purposefully surging at school get out times terrorizing our families. Ice needs to stay away from our kids.
