Two weeks ago this guy announced he was providing legal help to the agent who shot Renee Good. That's how quickly the winds are shifting.
pretty wild statement re: Republican Chris Madel drop from race for MN governor:

"Saying he cannot support the national GOP's 'stated retribution on citizens of our state, nor can I count myself a member of a party that would do so."

This morning, I recorded a video on TikTok about why DHS’s arguments for the power to enter homes without judicial warrants in immigration cases are bunk.

Nine hours later, TikTok still says my video is “under review,” and can’t be shared.

Well, here’s a link:

5 years removed from when he helped barricade the House Chamber fearing for his life…he ONLY escaped because our actions (the officers). We risked our lives protecting him. He has no integrity, moral conviction or honor.

He's the Acting Field Office Director! His name is a matter of public record!
VAN SUSTEREN: The church -- that's a particularly troubling issue because you got a pastor, I purposely didn't name it, he's reportedly associated with ICE

NOEM: Thank you for not naming him. People don't realize that when you keep naming someone over and over, you increase the threats against them

This is the best speech, just from a pure rhetoric perspective - its sophistication and persuasiveness - that I've seen a politician deliver in a good long while. Really recommend watching or reading the whole thing.
A YouTube link for those looking for it. No words.

Any DoJ attorney who participates in this investigation should suffer professional and social shunning that makes it effectively impossible to continue to work as an attorney.

Dear Mr. Miller,

You will not live on a military base forever.

Remember that.

I am convinced the conservative majority of the Supreme Court knows that Trump is awful. I think they believe that the modern administrative state shields the country from many of the actions of terrible leaders. I believe they think we fucked around by electing him, and we need to find out.

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

A government that deliberately abandons the rule of law is not morally entitled to its protections.

There is a real possibility that Charlie Kirk’s death will serve as a pretext for authoritarian purges.

And our political culture does not have much experience with that. Mainstream reporters and politicians are not in the habit of recognizing or naming it.

No one knows exactly what was on the Venezuelan boat that was struck by the US military, but the fact that the strike was okayed by the president’s son suggests that there was no cocaine aboard.

One wonders if any NYTimes, Washington Post, CNN, MSNBC or other mainstream journalists watch the Tucker Fucking Carlson dismantling of Ted Cruz and appropriately hang their heads in shame.

As long as they’re hiding their faces, badges and names we should stop calling them “federal agents.”

Call them masked goons or unidentified thugs or whatever, unless and until they provide proper ID.
Here's a longer video of Brad Lander's detention just now inside 26 Federal Plaza as he tried to walk a man out of immigration court, by masked federal agents.
