It's odd, isn't it, how the supposed "woke overreach" that we are told has repulsed all of America & sent Dems into the wilderness coincided, almost perfectly, with final collapse of media gatekeepers & the rise of unrestrained RW media & social media dominance.

Let’s talk about abolishing ICE.
Very few people who say “abolish ICE” mean “abandon all immigration enforcement.” Rather, they mean “the structure of immigration enforcement is irretrievably broken and needs to be reorganized, just like we did 23 years ago when we created ICE.”

Jacob Frey told ICE agents to get the fuck out of Minneapolis, a hugely popular viral moment, and the media has been browbeating him over it ever since. Trump flipped a guy off and told him fuck you and it’s barely acknowledged.

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness.
You could be next.

As a principled libertarian, I have no problem with a secret police force detaining, torturing, and murdering American citizens—as long as those American citizens are liberal wine moms.

Congratulations to all the bankers, hedge-fund managers, private-equity honchos, tech titans, corporate executives and op-ed writers for backing the man who will do more to undermine the system that made them insanely wealthy than any other presidential candidate in their lifetimes.
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said the US central bank had been served grand jury subpoenas from the Justice Department threatening a criminal indictment, a dramatic escalation of the Trump administration’s attacks on the Fed.

The only ax to grind that I have is against lazy thinking, of which this post is great example. You are equating the lionization of Mangione by a small number of Americans — in a manner no different from classic veneration of the outlaw — with propaganda in defense of state-sanctioned murder.
Anyone without a strange axe to grind (even that journeyman @jodyrosen.bsky.social) knows there’s nothing remotely objectionable about advocating for basic decency in a country where Good’s murder is welcomed and Luigi Mangione is lionized.

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

Democrats who want to abolish ice should start introducing legislation to roll back the creation of DHS. It was a specific post 9/11 law that combined previously extant functions into a single new department. Let’s start getting that model legislation out there. (Is it already?)

I would never accuse the Iraqi Army of being well trained or using a lot of restraint. And yet in Mosul I came to expect more discretion from the average Iraqi soldier than U.S. cops who have never taken incoming fire.
not for the first time I note these guys pulling shit that would have gotten you extremely killed in any actual insurgency situation

There's no "training" to "reform" this culture of violence and impunity, the only solution is to eliminate the agency and fire everyone associated.
Before someone whines "but but you need immigration enforcement" okay explain to me exactly how this is "immigration enforcement." It's just thuggery.

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."
The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.

Expect to see a surge of proud ignorance and proplawganda about what you can say about ICE agent Jonathan Ross, identified by local media as the person who shot and killed Renee Good.
In particular, expect a repeat of Rittenhouse-era “accusing him of murder is defamation” rhetoric.
It’s not.
