Amid these dark moments, something important is beginning to shift.
It's clearly the result of healthy political pressure - which we must sustain, and build.

“What kind of monster watches a man murdered with at least 10 bullets, then applauds? Not a shake of the head, not a moment of gravity about the taking of a human life, but clapping.”

Snapshot: Monsters in Our Midst
They are not just indifferent to a deadly shooting, they revel in it. But their terror is triggering a rising tide of anger and resistance.

When grand juries have been impaneled to hear testimony and evidence on the killings of Renee Good & Alex Pretti, then we can begin to talk about the Trump admin doing something tangible. Until that, all this is just PR damage control that only the extremely naive will fall for.

HISTORIAN HERE: I don't think you can say this any better. If "originalists" want to claim that the 2A is about containing government....
Of course, that interpretation was always wrong, but let's say it was right. See below for what that means. 👇

Kristi Noem and her department’s latest attempt to mislead the American public regarding the brutal and unjustified killing of Alex Pretti is deeply shameful, and she must be impeached and removed from office immediately.

All 10 shots were fired AFTER they removed the gun from Pretti’s waist. Every single shot was fired after he was disarmed.

Senate Dems needn’t come to agreement on everything right now. That’s a path to the lowest common denominator. They simply have to agree to filibuster DHS approps. As to which of a host of anti-brutality and anti-authoritarian proposals to advance, let a thousand flowers bloom.

I don’t know that Dems even need specify now what restrictions, limitations, and cuts would be needed to the appropriations bill. Dems can say that it’s the Republicans’ bill, let them suggest amendments to get the votes they need. It’s their responsibility. Dems can respond to their offers.

Holding 3 thoughts. The need to honour a life well lived cut horrifically short by ICE. The hope that something cuts through to those whose identities seem wedded to supporting the violence. That everyone, regardless of background or circumstances, should be safe from being shot in the street.

It’s not just that they are murdering people who are peacefully protesting, it’s that they then stand in front of the cameras and slander the victims by telling us that what we see on the videos didn’t happen.

CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today.
This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

i think this attitude — that all opposition is illegitimate and nothing we do can be questioned— is probably pervasive in the white house and helps explain why they keep making terrible political choices
Putin pioneered this. No opposition is legitimate. Regular, decent, “ordinary” people cannot possibly be against us because only we represent “the real people.”
Tell-tale sign of authoritarianism.
