Just got this forwarded. Here are the talking points Schumer's team just emailed out to their allies TODAY - this afternoon.

The words "Minnesota" or "ICE" don't appear anywhere here.

I worked at the Tower Video in the French Quarter in the early 2000s. The pay was balls, but it was the most I've ever enjoyed a job. I miss video stores so much.
I know nostalgia for Blockbuster is a thing. I don’t really remember it that way. I remember it having fewer movies than the stores I went to as a kid. But I worked at Blockbuster when I was 17.

Here are some things that happened while I was there.

So, if I'm reading this right:

4 prosecutors at the Dept of Justice Civil Rights division quit because the Trump-appointed leadership won't investigate Good's killer,

and

6 from the Minnesota US Attorney's office quit when they were told instead to investigate her widow.

The comments on this post are an interesting mixture of “the creator of Dilbert died?” and “the creator of Dilbert was an asshole?” and “the creator of Cathy is a babe?”

BREAKING: James Rodden, an ICE prosecutor who the Observer identified last year as the operator of an X account that posted “America is a White nation," “‘Migrants’ are all criminals,” and apparent praise of Adolf Hitler, appeared to be back at work Tuesday.

ICE may be shooting people in the face, sending people to concentration camps, and illegally occupying our cities but, apparently, the Democrats think saying, "abolish ICE" is "emotional" and politically "lethal."

Another datapoint in the “young men haven’t turned conservative the media just thinks a 55 year old guy listening to Rogan is young for unclear reasons”
Gen X is at +5 support for ICE while millennials are at -25.

Is this at all related to the United States banning lead paint in houses in 1978?
Some interesting stuff in the cross-tabs.

Patty, a woman observer in Minneapolis, was abducted from a car by federal agents today. She was released and talked about her experience in custody.

An agent said, "You guys gotta stop obstructing us. That's why that lesbian bitch is dead."

“Have you not learned? This is why we killed that lesbian b*tch.”
In this clip from a longer interview, she says while she was in detention, agents called Renee Good a “lesbian b*tch.”

This video belongs to @statuscoupnews.bsky.social and I’ll take it down if they want me to.
