This isn't capitulation they just believe this shit. Beneath the grand pronouncements liberalism and social democracy both are based on the violence of the state; the maintenance of border and race and class and gender by men with guns

"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?

Tomorrow morning's subcommittee on HF2121 (Don't Say Gay k-12) was CANCELLED about 7:15 this evening.
I assume that it will be rescheduled. It may have only been cancelled because those who support the bill will all be in Clive tomorrow for Pres. Trump's speech.

Minneapolis, MN -
Many many more agents filing into the area around the hotel. Minneapolis PD announcing everyone is under arrest, telling them to sit down with their hands up. An ad hoc journalist squad being told to go further down the street. Chemicals irritant deployed in the road.

This is the sort of thing that defines fascism more than most other aspects. The installation of secret police to monitor everyone for suspicion not of doing anything wrong, but of being the wrong kind of person.
I’m not sure people outside the Twin Cites realize the prevalence and the fear ICE is causing in Twin Cities. They are dining undercover pretending to be couples at restaurants, they are going to businesses and checking the license plates of cars to find employees. Every public place is compromised.

If anyone was still pretending this isn’t just about excluding trans kids from public life, the Trump administration just opened a Title IX investigation into a Maine school district because a trans student is on a *co-ed* cheerleading squad.

State investigators have been on the scene in North Minneapolis.
I know you’re angry. I’m angry. What Donald Trump wants is violence in the streets.
But Minnesota will remain an island of decency, of justice, of community, and of peace.
Don’t give him what he wants.

In Skrmetti, they said it wasn't discrimination on the basis of sex because it applied to both trans girls and trans boys. Now that the sports ban only applies to trans girls, it's not discrimination on the basis of trans status.
The only logic that is consistent is that trans people lose.

Absolutely horrific details about an ICE shooting in Minneapolis.
A witness says a woman was trying to drive away from an ICE operation and the ICE agent "reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times."
Bovino was there.
