It's time to state clearly that if MAGA and Republicans can't condemn any part of this shooting, continue to blame the victim for it, and even hint that it's a just outcome that others "deserve," that's a crossing of the line that the rest of us won't ever be able to forget.
Rep. Randy Fine: "If you impede the actions of our law enforcement as they seek to repel foreign invaders from our country, you get what's coming to you. I do not feel bad for the woman that was involved."

For months, Trump’s DHS has wreaked lawless havoc in our neighborhoods. Tear gassing infants, families, and police. Firing their weapons at peaceful citizens. Killing innocent people.
It’s brutal, unconstitutional, and out of control.
It must stop.
Kristi Noem must go. Now.

MN AG Keith Ellison: "We will investigate. The state of Minnesota is part of the investigation. This is important. There needs to be a situation where the feds are not just investigating the feds, particular when you've got Kash Patel at the head of the FBI now. There needs to be state involvement."

ICE killed a member of our community today. ICE showed up at my kid’s daycare today. ICE is bragging about the number of families they’ve torn apart in a matter of days, and promising that their campaign of terror isn’t done.

There is video of the shooting of a woman by ICE in Minneapolis circulating that shows an ICE agent repeatedly shooting her at point blank range while she tries to drive off. There was no obvious threat to any ICE agent.

I don't know how to describe it, but there's this profound brokenness in the American body politic where nobody can take the implications of anything seriously. People keep saying things that should be existential threats to the political system, and then everyone just keeps going on as normal.

I don't know if this needs to be said or not but "elected official assassinated in their home" is simply not a thing that happens in this country. 1825, 1889, 1893, 1973. Those are all the ones I can find, ever, before today.

Alito and Thomas are corrupt bad faith actors with no judicial credibility
In SCOTUS's 7-2 ruling stopping more kidnapped people from being sent to El Salvador, the majority justices didn't wait for Alito to write his dissent.
That's odd and suggests they didn't trust him to act in good faith, that his plan was to hold up the order until the prisoners were already gone.

The sad thing about these cowards who refuse to talk about the kidnappings is that they will never have to experience even a fraction of the pain and death the victims will
It’s been leading every paper and news channel for a week and is spiraling into a crisis that is both destroying public support of Trump’s immigration policy and also making clear to the public how utterly lawless and authoritarian Trump is.

All of the leftists who called ICE a fascist organization were 100% correct. Every ICE agent either enjoys inflicting pain on vulnerable people or are indifferent to it. Only a matter of time before the Gestapo starts rounding up American citizens

The United States government under Trump by all accounts is shipping these people into indefinite involuntary servitude in El Salvador without even the pretense of any judicial process, much less duly convicting them of a crime. It’s an enslaving operation.
