By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.

It's a cult of personality, not a cult of policies or principles.
It’s no comfort, but the official DHS line being “he can be killed by masked agents of the state because he had a legal gun” is such an interesting new frontier in how Trump has made the conservative movement very publicly and embarrassingly abandon every principal it once claimed.

At this point, any politician who runs on a platform or ICE amnesty is a Nazi.
No, I don't mean that in a sense of "anybody I don't like is idiomatically called a nazi."

I'm not one for false optimism. But what I witnessed today in Minneapolis was tremendous, both in scale and exuberance. It was a stunning answer to the federal assault on Minnesota, a show of solidarity that gives us something to hold on to during times that are unforgiving.
“Everybody Showed Up”: Stunning Crowds at Minnesota Day of Strike and Shutdown Against ICE
Extreme cold didn't stop the shutdown on Friday as some 100 faith leaders were arrested, residents stayed home from work, and an estimated 50,000 or more marched through downtown Minneapolis.

National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation.
Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

Everybody currently working in the US government seems to be working on their comedy packets and planning on working at The Onion as their next job, and all American federal public policy is just them working on insane samples to send around for a laugh.

I think I finally figured it out. They call it "Starfleet Academy" but it's actually season 1184 of Community. They just did a paintball episode in the cafeteria.

Being pinned down and tortured with a chemical weapon is obviously "cruel and unusual punishment." As a society we wouldn't even tolerate this if the person had done a crime and been lawfully convicted and sentenced to it.
That anybody thinks it is a valid response to no crime at all is impossible.

If the political system ever collectively comes up with one ball worth of nutsack, "they hid evidence of they were doing because they knew it was illegal" is the sort of thing even somebody dumb as Lindsey Halligan could successfully use when prosecuting ICE.
🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

I am baffled when people act like dismantling ICE is some unthinkable radical move. I know people who use email addresses that are older than ICE. If ICE was a person it still wouldn't be old enough to rent a car. ICE is a novelty and a failed experiment. It's younger than the people it arrests.

Apparently it really was just some glitch with the plane. The smaller "backup air force one" is en-route to Europe.
That said, still a bit weird that they wouldn't let the Pool get a shot of Trump on his way out of Air Force One. Past his bedtime, he wasn't in makeup. (sundowning, sleep pills?)

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

Some perspective: The S&P opened down -1.3% on Trump's Greenland saber-rattling. That's $750 billion of wealth destroyed -- roughly equal to estimates of the value of Greenland.
And so ~in dollar terms~ his shenanigans have already cost the US one Greenland, and we've got nothing to show for it.

Don't parades require permits? Cops need to halt a Nazi parade and check for permits.
Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino marches through Minneapolis surrounded by federal agents, shouting at American citizens.
This isn’t about deporting “the worst of the worst.” It’s about deliberately sowing fear and chaos in cities that oppose the Trump regime

The killer was a trainer who recorded the killing.
More training and cameras doesn't address literally any aspect of the actual problems at play. One of my idioms is that the algorithm for problem solving is,
1) Identify a problem, 2) Solve that problem.
Sounds simple, but people skip to 2.

THREAD. Having just written a book about this and talked to a LOT of Democrats, I can assure you that neither Cory Booker nor the policing industry he’s advertising think that more money for ICE “training” and tech would address any problem that any person of good will has with what ICE is doing.

Any station that carries this game because of this executive order is making a full throated declaration that they are state media which takes orders directly from the President. There is no other reading.
Marx remarks somewhere that historical events appear, as it were, twice: the first time as tragedy, the second time as farce.
He forgot to add that beneath the farce also can lurk tragedy.

I watched the first two eps of #StarfleetAcademy and it's... pretty good, actually? I still feel like I'm not really the target audience, but I don't think the trailer did it justice.
I was more mixed on ep 1. But ep 2 was a pretty big tone shift that I think worked well.
