“The Constitution does not permit the government to arrest thousands of individuals and then disregard their constitutional rights because it would be too challenging to honor those rights.”
BREAKING: Judge Nancy Brasel, a Trump appointee, has issued a TRO in the Minnesota access-to-counsel case about treatment at Whipple.
"It appears that in planning for Operation Metro Surge, the government failed to plan for the constitutional rights of its civil detainees."

The volume & geographic distribution of protest nationwide during year 1 of Trump's second term was extraordinary.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Abolish ICE is the floor, not the ceiling.
You can't reform something which is completely broken and corrupt. You need to tear it down.
Democrats not on board with this aren't your allies. They will betray you and your communities in the future.

the arrest of journalists in minneapolis, including don lemon, is more evidence that the only move the administration knows how to make is to use force, and does not know how to respond when that force is met with defiance and indifference.

I know this looks like shit, but until we develop the technology to fabricate period costumes and train humans to pretend to be--to act as, if you will--other people, this is the closest we can come to visualizing past events in a narrative art form

We owe an incredible debt to the Minnesotans who are on the streets protesting and documenting what is happening.

This is vital in covering any crisis. If it's wall to wall awful news, a lot of people just shut down and stop engaging. Positive stories matter. They lift spirits; they expand imaginations; they make action possible.

I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.

I got in late last night. First thing this morning, I saw cars following an ice vehicle down the street, honking at it.
Later, we didn't drive more than three blocks before we found people defending a childcare facility. (The idea that people have to defend a childcare facility... let that sink in)

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Thesis: ICE is un-American and the Minneapolis protestors are real Americans.
Antithesis: Ackshually ICE is operating in a long American tradition of racist terror.
Synthesis: Minneapolis is now the epicenter of a clash between two distinct but historically grounded American political traditions.

While the fight to get people off of fascist controlled platforms like X and Substack has largely failed due to self-serving fantasy-making on the part of their users, getting everyone you know off of all of these platforms is an *incredibly* important terrain in the fight against fascism.
