The funny thing about this standard MAGA response to protest is that in this case not only is it once again a lie, but the people they’re protesting — immigration officers — are literally paid agitators and chaos agents from out of state.
Emmer: "The people you're seeing in these videos, the vast majority of them I do not believe are from Minnesota. These are organized chaos agents, paid agitators. The vast majority of Minnesotans that are talking to me appreciate that law enforcement has arrived, and they are happy they're there."

Newsom: "Greg Bovino - dressed up as if he literally went on eBay & purchased SS garb. Secret police, private army, masked men, people disappearing, no due process ... so is it surprising that the Trump administration didn't like my commentary and wanted to make sure I wasn't allowed to speak? No."

BREAKING: A federal court rules Virginia's lifetime voting ban for people with certain prior felony convictions unlawfully strips voting rights beyond what Congress allows.

The decision could restore voting rights to hundreds of thousands of voters, especially Black voters long targeted by the ban.

Rep Darrell Issa is also whining about toll records. These republicans don't care about Americans. Just their phone records. He's asking why he "only went after Republicans." Again, it's because that's who TRUMP chose.

I know people keep saying this but it’s hard to communicate the depth of active resistance here. Like, I’m on random cafes and people are checking in for observation shifts. Signs everywhere. Folks in visibility vests on the corners. It’s wild. Absolutely wild.

Nasra Ahmed, a 23-year-old US citizen, was arrested and detained by ICE. She was held for TWO DAYS.

ICE agents handcuffed her, called her a racial slur, and she was knocked to the ground so hard she got a concussion.

This cannot continue happening. ICE needs to leave.

Can't emphasize this enough. Moving beyond shame toward true solidarity with all people is how we get free. It's how we move toward a new and better world for those who come after us.

Repair is needed, and that repair and restoration is part and parcel of the world we're building.
I'm not saying to dunk on this person AT ALL but because I want this point elevated.

I don't want you to be ashamed to be a white American. The history of white Americans who sided against whiteness and acted in solidarity with others has been suppressed as ruthlessly as the history of violence.
At this point in the history of our country, I am very ashamed to be a white American! I don’t want to be mistaken for a thug who is so brain dead they convince themselves that they are better than anyone else because they are white!
I have never & would never BELIEVE THEIR CONVICTED FELON!

“DOJ’s ‘Notice of Corrections’ ought to give the justices real pause … about substituting their judgment for that of district courts at least where preliminary relief has been based upon an impoverished (or non-existant) record.”

Today’s “One First” on developments in the DOGE/Social Security case:
Bonus 203: Correcting the Record in the Social Security/DOGE Case
An eye-opening filing by the Department of Justice should give more than a little pause to the justices with respect to one of their earlier grants of emergency relief to the Trump administration.

This video filmed by Ben Luhmann shows the moment a federal agent sprayed chemical irritants directly into a man's face in south Minneapolis.

Three agents already had the man pinned to the ground when a fourth agent walked up and sprayed the irritants.
