The way to press the advantage in Minnesota is so easy. Tim Walz should with no warning and a bunch of reporters go to the federal facility in Whipple with state troopers backing him up and call for an inspection. If they don’t let him in tear down the doors. Catch them red handed and end this.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

I have been reliably informed by members of this government that losing access to twitter is one of the worst things that can befall a human being so this may be the single harshest consequence they have imposed on one of their own
"DHS has suspended Gregory Bovino’s access to his social media accounts effective immediately," CNN reports

I suspect right now Stephen Miller and the other nazis are meeting to discuss how a place not as “nice" or "peaceful” as Minnesota will provide better oxygen for their lies and goals of martial law.

The killing of Alex Pretti and the grotesque lying was an overreach by the administration. They've paid a price and had to pull back a bit. But it's when there's some disarray that the democratic opposition needs to intensify the offensive, and turn a marginal tactical success into a major victory.

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.
We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

this is a very weak piece, for multiple reasons. its claim about Gen Z is based on a couple of comments, not actual sales. it is also extremely normal for kids not to be *that* into a series from two decades ago. And there's minimum mention of Rowling turning into a fervent bigot.
In @nytopinion.nytimes.com
Younger generations “have fallen out of love with Harry Potter because they have fallen out of love with the worldview the series represents,” writes Louise Perry. “Which is to say that young people have fallen out of love with liberalism.”

A major newspaper publishing guide to help people identify the munitions their government is using against them is a real "Late Republic America" timepeice that future historians will comment on.
Here's how to identify some crowd control munitions, canisters of which federal agents have left on the ground after deploying them against people in Minnesota. bit.ly/3YWp1jE

I'm pretty bearish on the idea that the 2026 World Cup will be widely boycotted by fans (or that fans will be afraid to come to the US) in a way that will turn the WC into a financial disaster for the organizers or an embarrassment for Trump.
However, I think a *players boycott* has potential
