Gov. Walz tells everyone to be calm in the face of horrific state violence, then suggests abducting people in the middle of the night with the help of his local hired guns so it’s less disruptive.

Of course, it’s about system improvements that increase his power, not stopping ICE.
"I'm gonna give Homan the benefit of the doubt"

"They should coordinate with local law enforcement, pick these people up in the middle of the night when they're not suspecting it"

Walz is capitulating to fascists and encouraging night raids. Genuinely disgusting. Why would anyone settle for this?

“… this is already a form of martial law, just without the paperwork. More importantly, the entire goal of martial law is to enforce quiescence. Pre-emptively rewarding the regime with precisely what it wants does not so much avoid martial law as make it unnecessary.”

What we know as "police militarization" is really a response to police being seen as ineffective in their crackdowns on Black uprisings. In other words, police were seen as insufficiently professionalized.

The pain and the outrage is correct and just and I'm glad everyone can see and understand it here, and this is also already what BLM was, if you argued for training, police reform or body cams instead of abolition this is what you sounded like, this is why people were so mad at you

I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.

I’m going to keep hammering this point: the excesses of ICE we see now are entirely contiguous with our system of policing more broadly, and the reason that almost no politician wants to threaten real consequences for ICE agents is because it opens the door to making the same demands of the cops

the people who got everyone here including the tv lawyers, pathetic pundits & consultants, and feckless elected officials are the sources of "don't take the bait." So maybe don't listen to them about anything.

I don't know how to convey to people that POLICING in the US is experienced by countless Black and brown people in the way that ICE is currently acting towards people.

This is bigger than stopping ICE/ CBP or passing a law. It's about how both parties have allowed law enforcement to run the country, determine every policy, spend profligately, and lobby endlessly all on the taxpayer's dime.

Organizers in Chicago and elsewhere around the country have experienced over and over that ICE was only able to continue about its business because of local police deployed by Democrats "keeping order." Cops everywhere stand with ICE—see attachment.

Dear friends an

Tomorrow marks 24 years of Guantánamo Bay—24 years of kidnapping, torture, and cages without trial. This prison is a crime scene, kept alive by silence and complicity.

Join global vigils. Demand closure. Demand accountability.

Something I didn't emphasize enough in my book, and I wish I had, was that sheriffs (alongside us marshalls etc) were key figures in Western expansion. Many were former soldiers who made their career killing Indigenous and Brown people for Anglo settlers. They became the "law."

THREAD. Every year, I tell the story of Ezell Gilbert. It's the story of one of the most remarkable cases in U.S. history, and you’ve probably never heard of it. The story of what the U.S. government did to him is vital for understanding the current moment we are in.

It’s common to see someone react to an action by a big company, rich person, or public official with ‘how is this not illegal,’ presuming that if it were, the thing wouldn’t happen. But that isn’t how law works.

A skill I would really like us all to cultivate is saying "I don't think this is a great tactic, but I agree with the cause," and then just moving on with our lives.

Calling the Democrats “cowards” suggests that they're scared to do what's right when they show no fervent interest in being an opposition. They're largely colluders, not cowards. Many want their base to think they're cowards to maintain investment in the idea that they can be pushed to do better.
