Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: there must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups the law binds but does not protect
The videos of both murders show that ICE agents are cowards of the basest kind

If you're wondering why the Dem Party just seems inept, I think this is the best explanation.
There is no party. There is a fundraising machine masquerading as a party.

For three decades now the party has given up local organizational presence in favour of an electoral get out the vote model. The leadership is built for fund raising, stumping, and legislative work. They do not bear any semblance to the idea of local surgeries or constituency mobilization.

There is no such thing as a fucking "immigration problem"
I grew up in a town full of undocumented immigrants, the family of my best friend in kindergarten was undocumented, undocumented immigrants were a net positive for our community
I'm so sick of this framing

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

in trying to understand what makes ICE and CBP so dangerous right now, it is tempting to imagine some new lack of training or experience or professionalism—and not grapple with the truth that a white nationalist movement has put more power and force behind their existing mission
