The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

The victim of today's ICE shooting in Minneapolis is the 5th person to be shot and killed by federal immigration agents since President Trump began his crackdown last year.
This is the 19th time they've opened fire.

Imagine what’s happening on the deportation planes.
Imagine what’s happening in the camps.
Imagine how much they’d be lying about what happened without all the videos showing it from multiple angles.

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

SIMILAR MOMENT IN HISTORY?
British soldiers overreacting to snowballs & oyster shells being thrown at them became the "Boston Massacre."
At trial they claimed to feel "threatened by the crowd" & argued that even if not actually endangered, they were provoked.
Eerie how history is rhyming.

One of the reasons I am so insistent that everyone remember that only 22% of the US population voted for Trump is that the Christian Nationalists want the myth of a mandate in circulation.
We need to reject it. They never had a mandate, and their coalition is shrinking.

The new NYT poll finds Trump 17 points underwater on immigration, and the nonwhite and young voters who went to Trump in 2024 have snapped back to Dems
It's almost as if 2024 might not have represented a seismic cultural realignment on immigration after all, despite 1,000 NYT op eds to the contrary

Back in the early days of Trump 2 when ICE was first ramping up in LA they were approaching ERs and urgent cares with warrants signed by judges and someone on the legal team at one of the hospitals figured out that the judge name they had signed to the doc had died years ago. You can't retrain that

At least some of them get it.
The budget deal in Congress will give ICE another $10 BILLION.
Absolutely not.
ICE is out of control. We must stop this rogue agency’s dangerous abuses of power, not bankroll it.

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.

To expect anyone to be able to prove citizenship on demand is obscene.
To expect it of a sixth grader is completely through the looking glass. When I was that age I had a hard time not losing my gloves, but kids of color are supposed to carry passports at all times?
