Whenever I spent time on normie platforms (your threads, your Facebook), I become more and more convinced that a large part of our problem as a nation is the literacy crisis. People have trouble with basic reasoning. They can't follow very simple logic or compound sentences. It's disturbing.

1. It's been more than a day since 2 of America's most storied newsrooms, CBS and ABC, reported that killer ICE agent Jon Ross suffered "internal bleeding" based on unnamed sources
Since then
- No other news org has confirmed the story

They went after Renee Good’s 6yo’s school???
Some people are just ghouls. There must be something they tell themselves to make this sound like an OK thing to do, but I cannot for the life of me imagine what it is.

The response of everyday Americans to ICE is like a fully wholesome version of post-9/11: Solidarity in response to the country being attacked by its enemies, but in this case the solidarity wholly embraces and defends immigrants, too, instead of having a strain of xenophobia.

Some of the stories in here are absolutely chilling. One US citizen of Somali descent was just riding an elevator with ICE agents and then they detained him for almost half an hour in the freezing cold despite him showing agents his passport card. They only let him go once protestors showed up.

If we break our alliances, we are smaller and weaker. If we break them for pride and power and greed, then we don’t just break an alliance, we break our own character. We diminish ourselves in every way that matters, and no amount of newly sovereign frozen ground can obscure our national shame.

You can’t fight antisemitism while validating Holocaust deniers, gutting civil‑rights enforcement, and excusing open hatred inside your own movement. My new piece traces how the Trump administration is mainstreaming hate — not by accident, but by design.

And the grim irony is that carrying your papers isn't enough either. Multiple reports have confirmed the ICE practice of rounding up people in groups and ignoring their offers to show their papers on the spot, then holding them for hours or days or even transporting them to distant places. /2

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports.
And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.”
Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

I think Dem electeds should take moral stances & then work to change public opinion.
But it's notable that another centrist Dem group has a memo that 1) contradicts Third Way's "don't say 'Abolish ICE'", 2) is based on actual research, 3) didn't get an NYT story.

If you could go back in time a couple years and show people the sort of garbage official DHS accounts now routinely post, you'd be accused of having concocted some slanderous over-the-top parody. Just a constant stream of nakedly white supremacist imagery and rhetoric.

A thing I do not expect any office seeker to say, but which is true: In general, excluding certain high tech goods, nominal prices don't go down. You're never getting literally "lower prices." Or at least you'd better hope not, because if you DO see that it probably means the economy is fucked.
