The Secretary of Homeland Security is asserting that the Deputy White House Chief of Staff ultimately bears responsibility for the murder of two American citizens, which is something that would normally generate a dozen congressional inquiries.

I paid my therapist a zillion dollars to tell me this, so I’m passing it on to anyone else in MN who needs to hear it:

Think of taking time away to recharge not as not doing the work, but as doing quality control for the work. You’re not going to be able to show up to do it well if you’re depleted

Don't fund these motherfuckers at all. Shut it down. Christ, burn it down.
These are the reported tentative Democratic demands for funding DHS:

- DHS required to cooperate with state probes
- CBP stays at border
- Warrants for arrests
- IDs, bodycams
- ICE out of churches, schools

NOT ONE OF THOSE THINGS FIXES THE BEHAVIOR BELOW.

ICE in Minneapolis are erasing your rights.

The woman who survived five gunshots from a Border Patrol agent in Chicago, only to be criminally charged and then cleared, now wants a judge’s permission to share records showing how the feds respond when agents use deadly force.

The Trump/ICE method is akin to stochastic terrorism. You flood a city with untrained hotheads. You pump them up with white nationalist propaganda and tell them to escalate and kick ass. You also make clear you'll shield them from any legal accountability. You don't know specifically who is going...

Remember the Bundy insanity during the Obama years? Armed guys occupied a federal office and one of their buddies took position with a sniper rifle aimed at federal agents?

Exactly how many of those guys were shot and killed?

I give a ton of credit to people who actually change their opinions.

It's the people who are like "you were I suppose right about everything, but abolishing ICE? Now that kind of talk won't do and you need to stop it or we'll never get a Senate majority" that I have issue with.
Bluesky idea: if people who didn't agree with you change their opinions so that they do agree with you, why not be happy that you are making progress - rather than complaining that they are "only just catching up"?

The Trump regime is best understood not as an attempt at government,
but rather as a criminal enterprise with 3 main areas of operation:
1) Grifting
2) Sabotage, harrassment & vandalism
3) Angertainment

The man who made angertainment a viable business model & political strategy was Rupert Murdoch.

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:

"ICE will leave Minnesota if you hand over your voter rolls" tells you everything you need to know.

This was never about immigration or fraud. It was always about rigging elections.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

An insane, perfect encapsulation of it all:

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

The govt lying about the killing of a U.S. citizen at the hands of the state, is by itself, a front page a story, worthy of drumbeat coverage, resignations, and impeachments.

I tell you, it was the covering up part that sank Nixon, not the crimeing itself.
Multiple officials of the US federal government are spending their day rather blatantly obstructing Minnesota law enforcement and covering up a murder.
