they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

Once again: Focusing on their lack of training is a mistake. With "better training," their violence would simply cost more, and they would still kill whoever they wanted, but make it look more professional — to make people more comfortable, the way many of you are at ease with local police violence.

I was just supposed to follow clergy leaders as they did a pilgrimage from George Floyd Square to Renée Good’s memorial.
But then when we got back to the landing spot, we found out an observer had been attacked by ICE agents who had been tailing the religious leaders.
From me today in Minneapolis:

ICE attacked an observer after they tailed a group of clergy on a spiritual pilgrimage.
Our digital producer @sam.vp just so happened to be with the clergy on their journey. He spoke with the observer who was attacked and others who witnessed the assault.

I downloaded a bill from Congress's website on the day before it was passed. After the vote, I found out that this isn't the bill they actually passed; a 100-page section was removed. It irritates me that we can't see what Congress is actually voting on.

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."

It's weird
I was REPEATEDLY told that payment processors "had" to ban all nsfw to mitigate the risk of processing CSAM.
So if that's true then why wasn't X immediately dumped by every one of those payment processors when Grok turned into an automated CSAM generator?

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

THE OPEN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF GRIEF IS A POLITICAL ACT.
One of the things that genuinely shocked me as I read through surveillance logs for the police is how much of their energy and attention is dedicated to shutting down vigils and other ceremonies of remembrance.
Anyway ICE was filmed desecrating Renee Nicole Good’s memorial & doing violence to people who found that distasteful. Might be too soon to say if this falls into some kind of pattern of behavior if you’re the stupidest motherfucker on earth.

Dems could have spent $10bn on an "Everything is great" campaign under Joe Biden and it would have done nothing.
If they'd spent $10mil identifying the enemy as billionaires and highlighting how ol' Joe fought them they mighta won, but where would they get the money?

it's wild to me that we have a letter from 850+ rabbis denouncing zohran mamdani for things he never said and positions he never took while no such letter has been written condemning stephen miller for claiming to "defend jewish values" while being an utter fucking nazi and dismantling our democracy
it’s funny how the attacks levied last night against zohran mamdani by andrew cuomo more accurately describe stephen miller — totally inexperienced, deeply ideological, surrounded by antisemites, speaks like he’s talking exclusively to the internet, will bring about a policy nightmare, etc.
this is the problem with letting men like this get away with saying shit on tv instead of real life. i dare this man to say this shit out loud in any bar on the north shore
