This is the thing about the "Don't give them the pretext to send in more feds" arguments. The administration is using its own murder of an unarmed civilian as the pretext to send in more agents. They do not need a pretext and will invent them if they want.

It's so disheartening that Democrats have pivoted to using "lower costs" instead of "higher wages." We don't need cheaper goods. We need more money in the hands of the middle class. Lowering costs is almost impossible without contracting the economy and exploiting people. Higher wages is EASY.
Senate Democrats want to lower your costs and tackle the affordability crisis.
Senate Republicans want to aid and abet Donald Trump’s adventurism in Venezuela and risk yet another endless war.
The contrast is clear – and the American people are with us.

"Minneapolis prosecutors must try. Not trying would make them complicit in this evil." Elie Mystal is probably my favorite legal scholar of this era. His moral clarity is without peer in the field.
The ICE agent who murdered Renee Good must be prosecuted for murder. He enjoys no immunity from state murder charges.
Then, Blue state governors must call up their National Guard to protect us from the armed ICE terrorists.

NYC, tonight. Flash flooding has significantly affected the subway. This is the 28th Street station of the No. 1 train. The 1 is out, and the 2 and 3 trains are back in service with severe delays. E, F, M, and R trains are a mess too.
Oh, and do *not* drive. Stay home.

Why is it that @espn.com airs NBA G-League game during the summer but can't put together a baseball clip show? I remember when they were a sports journalism outfit and not a bookie that broadcasts off-brand sports.

One thing that disappoints me about BlueSky is that Vance says something racist and everyone rushes to repeat it as if that’s not *exactly* what he wanted. Stop being dumb! Just ignore it! He wants free publicity

Anybody telling you “it’s a distraction” is trying to hoodwink you into caring more about their preferred outrage. Run roughshod over the dolts.
There are no distractions. It's all bad. Systematically stripping trans people of their rights, guys in balaclavas shoving any brown person with a tattoo into a ummarked vans, ending healthcare for millions. It's all in service of fascism and technofeudalism. It's all one thing. That's the point.

The cruelty of this is, genuinely, staggering. This is a policy that saves virtually no money whatsoever whose success is measured in the number of children it kills.
Breaking: The Trevor Project received a stop-work order last night on its contract with the national 988 suicide prevention hotline. The Trump administration is eliminating the option for LGBTQ callers to the hotline to press 3 and connect with someone who specializes in LGBTQ mental health.
