Renee Good should still be here.

She was a beloved child of God, with inherent value and infinite worth.

She was murdered by her own government in broad daylight in what is supposed to be the greatest democracy on the planet.

I don't think it's a coincidence that all of this (worldwide) is happening when most of the people who lived through WWII have just died. We need to do a better job of keeping their memories and ideals alive.

Do not settle for less than abolishing ICE. Not refocusing their work to “real criminals,” not cutting their funding, not retraining them. ICE must go, and any politician asking for less should be shunned.

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

I was just denied access to the ICE processing center at the Whipple Building.

Members of Congress have a legal right and constitutional responsibility to conduct oversight where people are being detained.

The public deserves to know what is taking place in ICE facilities.
JUST NOW: Huge mass of agents in a standoff, weapons drawn as Reps. Ilhan Omar, Angie Craig, and Kelly Morrison attempt to conduct congressional oversight at the Whipple Building, which has been HQ for thousands of ICE agents.

Looks like we might have the first time AI directly solved an open Erdos problem: github.com/teorth/erdos...

A couple times recently this appeared to be the case only to turn out to be a successful deep lit review by AI.

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

They’re proud of their impunity and capacity to kill witnesses. They see the killing of Renee Good not as a murder but as a righteous act meant to terrorize others into submission.

Masked government agents with guns going door to door to kidnap people and drag them into unmarked vans is exactly what 2A supporters say it's supposed to prevent. Doesn't seem to be working.

Time to get rid of it.

It’s hard to know if people outside MN understand how much of life is grinding to a halt here because of Trump’s occupation. Schools have shut down, businesses are scaling back hours or closing because their employees aren’t safe. The whole city is weighted down.

It's a bit surreal to watch as one party continues to pine for civility and bipartisanship, while the other wages a scorched-earth campaign.

Philadelphia sheriff Rochelle Bilal:

“No law enforcement professional wears a mask…No law enforcement professional shoots at a moving vehicle.

“What Trump’s private army is doing…is not only against legal law, but moral law.”

Vows to arrest agents on site who commit crimes.

Is there a history of the "Abolish ICE" movement and the political response? What I recall is a principled stance against ICE being mocked in scathing ways by the "Vote Blue No Matter Who (Gets Killed)" crowd.

Who were the same people who blew off Epstein and insisted the DOJ would get Trump.

Allowing the executive to arbitrarily defund individual states would, in effect, unravel the Union itself. But that's where the US is right now.

For a literal decade the official CBP policy has been “don’t stand in front of or behind vehicles” because the decade before that their internally commissioned studies found that agents were putting themselves in front of vehicles so as to shoot the occupants
Because he put himself in front of the car to have an excuse to shoot!

When Renee Good said "I'm not mad at you" what the ICE goon heard was "I'm not scared of you."

That's what enraged him. The populace wasn't fully terrorized and cowed into submission yet, so he acted to make that happen.

When juries started refusing to indict or convict activists on bogus charges, DHS shifted very quickly to shooting activists in the face. That is not a coincidence.

Remember in the summer of 2024 when Dems started calling Trump/Vance/et al "weird" and it resonated with millions of people (because it's true) and then they stopped?

Seeing a similar shift now. But angrier. Good. Take off the fucking gloves.
You lying piece of shit. I chaired the Minnesota DFL for all three of your runs here. I watched you lose. Three times. Minnesota never bought your con. And now, as Chair of the DNC, I’m looking forward to ending Trumpism for good in 2028 — not with lies, but with votes. Again.
Trump: "I feel I won Minnesota. I think I won it all three times. Nobody has won it since Richard Nixon won it many many years ago. I won it all three times in my opinion. It's a corrupt state ... I did so well in that state. The people were crying every time after."
