Dear journalists: I understand that in normal times, the only reasonable explanation for having 3,000 federal agents in a state is so that they can "fan out" and cover the whole state

However, "3,000 agents fanned out across the state" is not an accurate description of what is happening now, in […]

A Trump Veto Leaves Republicans in Colorado Parched and Bewildered
The first veto of the president’s second term killed legislation that would have brought clean water to some of the most conservative parts of the state. Residents wonder why.

#trump’s Fight With #minnesota Is About More Than #immigration

Let’s see if Walz uses any of the forces at his disposal to enforce this judgement. It’s personally dangerous for him to do so (given the administration claiming he’s obstructing federal law enforcement), but dangerous for all Americans if he does not.

Right-wing media are describing pro-immigrant Minnesota activists using the language of war
Right-wing media figures and outlets are using the language of war to characterize protests against the presence of violent Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Minnesota.The fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agent in south Minneapolis on January 7 touched off a new round of protests in the region and across the country. President Donald Trump responded by threatening to invoke the Insurrection Act, which allows for the domestic use of the military against U.S. civilians in certain circumstances, days after Fox News host Laura Ingraham practically begged him to do so.While some in right-wing media have referred to anti-ICE demonstrations as an “insurrection” since at least October, the overall tenor of right-wing rhetoric has escalated dramatically in recent days. Right-wing pundits have reacted to the pro-immigrant demonstrations by casting Minneapolis residents as “insurgents” who are using a “a guerilla tactical playbook” and looking to spark a “civil war” or engage in “violent terroristic extremism.” Here are some of the most egregious examples.

Given that there is no federal police force in the constitution, I will ask the 'don't tread on me' people to explain how ICE in Minneapolis is different from the Ruby Ridge and the Waco federal overreach? #10a
