I live in a rural, bright red county & I watch the county commissioners most every week. We got >$8 million. I can’t remember anyone saying “It’s a trap! Send it all back!” And the Public Health dept got ~$1 million to pay for extra expenses incurred bc of Covid.

A few months ago, ICE hired me
I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable
And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"

It shows how pointless FCC rules about swearing are, when swears cannot be broadcast but genocidal threats can be.
The sign on Kristi Noem's podium reads "One of ours, all of yours." The reader will recall that this was a fascist rallying cry in the Spanish Civil War. What it means is that one of "our" people is worth all of "your" people.

I’ll never forget the video of the man in a motel hallway that the officer ordered him to do multiple weird things, the guy was confused and sobbing. He followed every order and he shot him. He wasn’t even guilty of anything or wanted. Cop got off and it was all on camera.

Really useful breakdown of the video showing the killing of Renee Nicole Good by an ICE officer. Freeze frame and outlines give a crystal clear indication of exactly what was occurring as shots were fired.
We've analysed this video of the shooting of Renee Nicole Good yesterday in Minneapolis frame-by-frame to highlight the positioning of the gun and phone in the ICE agent's hands.

My initial take on the criminal law governing the ICE shooting in MN:
609.066 of the MN Code controls a self-defense claim for a "peace officer" under state law. I'm not going to consider federal law given the capture of the DOJ by the Trump administration. 1/

I'm going to be a broken record on this matter for the next three years. The administration is acting as if "illegal" is a made-up category with no power over them. Either we hold people to account for their criminal actions, or we lose constitutional government forever. People need to be prosecuted
Well, this is also just the America we've built around ourselves these past 25 years. Airstrikes? Midnight raids? Black-bagging? That's the kind of stuff the President does now. It's illegal, but it's not delegitimizing. It holds to the expected pattern.
