Republican politicians who think that Minneapolis is a political problem are missing the point. It is a moral problem. But they are in so deep that they cannot see just how morally bankrupt they have become. They do not understand that we are as revulsed by their complicity as by Trump's cruelty.

Just say the government is lying. The goal of journalism should be to inform, not gaslight.

We got no investigation whatsoever for Renee Good. Todd Blanche said he watched the video and there was no need. Now we will get a rigged investigation on Pretti with DHS investigating itself to determine if DHS did anything wrong, and zero oversight from the Republican Congress.

Authoritarianism prevails not because people stop believing the truth, but because they stop saying it aloud. If we wish to remain free, we must refuse that silence. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/lies...
Lies, violence and the American state
Trump abhors democracy because it allows ordinary Americans to reject his lies. Even worse for Trump, it allows us to reject him.

TikTok is under right wing billionaire control now. Plan your exit strategy.
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:

We get that Republicans want to argue that “you shouldn’t” protest or film agents, or that it’s “a bad idea.” But it’s a right. That means you don’t get to decide whether someone gets to do it if that’s how they choose to protest. It also means agents can’t kill people who do.

Of course, Trump and Republicans doing what they always do. Same tired playbook. Blaming Democrats, the victim, and the media for another Border Patrol atrocity. They will never accept responsibility for anything and will do everything they can to distract and deflect.

So does that mean these aren’t Kavanaugh stops?
Pam Bondi telling Minneapolis that ICE will be recalled *only* when that blue city turns over its voter rolls is a clear reveal that this isn't about immigration. It's about interfering with upcoming elections that may not favor Donald Trump.
It's extortion.

This is like how the Catholic Church passed known pedophiles from parish to parish
CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today.
This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting
