This firsthand "frontline reporting" from Minneapolis about court battles against ICE is desperately needed to offset the establishment news media's wavering attention.
I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it.
I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.”

Congratulations, Washington Post, in your newly slimmed down state you are going to be indistinguishable from the Free Press.

Abolish ICE. It is irredeemabl.
Democrats want commonsense reform for ICE:
End the roving patrols and racial profiling.
Take accountability and abide by the same rules as local police.
Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.

Assault by whom? Who is assaulting our values as a nation? Who?
(We the public all know, but until our leaders can say it, where is the leadership?)

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

I agree that we ought to use persuasion to bring people nearer to our political purposes; I think that making every single Republican a social and professional pariah for the rest of their lives would be very persuasive when it comes to people weighing the cost/benefit of aligning with fascism.

I'm a terrorism scholar and this is exactly what we warn about when we say terrorism functions as a shibboleth, a password, a magic word which unlocks unprecedented state power and in turn excuses any state action.
Kristi Noem calling the victim’s actions “domestic terrorism” is propaganda. Full stop. I served as a White House homeland security advisor. I know what that designation means & when it’s misused. A U.S. citizen is dead. She was a mom. This is what ICE impunity looks like. It cannot be normalized.
This Was Inevitable. And It Is Unforgivable. ICE Owns This.
A warning ignored. A life lost. This cannot become routine.

Never let it be said that Susie Wiles doesn't know her business. The Gray Lady's Peter Baker adopts her framing of Trump's mental instability for his lede, and his analysis never recovers. Trump isn't "larger than life"—he's small, petty man whose media presence is boosted by chumps and cynics.

In addition, the Nazi bar-flies turn on each other when their convenient targets are no longer around. X-Twitter is gradually going Lord of the Flies, and they're getting nervous.
These people want leftist and liberals to come back to Twitter so badly. They give all kinds of reasons, but the fact is without them the Nazi bar marinates in its own juices and they can't stand it.

In terms of US politics, Bush v. Gore is the defining event of the century. It set the template: a ruthless right that instinctively seeks power & doesn't give a shit about rule of law...and a bunch of hapless, feckless octogenarian Dems worried about the good opinion of centrist opinion columnists.
The 25th anniversary of Bush v Gore is today. The conspiracy mongering & corruption of the GOP has been brewing for a long time.
Roberts, Barrett and Kavanaugh were all on Bush's legal team, where they pushed unfounded legal theories. SC justices were already enmeshed in voter fraud myths.
