Scrolling through the photos of Pam Bondi's "Minnesota rioters," it's just hero after hero. Every photo includes a cowardly DHS agent with their back to the camera.
Bondi thinks she's going to win the propaganda war with this shit, but it's never been more clear that they're losing.

In Printz v. United States, #SCOTUS held that the Constitution bars the federal government from forcing or otherwise compelling local or state governments to enforce federal law.
The liberal squish who wrote the majority opinion in that case? Justice Antonin Scalia:

an administration staffed to the top with degenerate liars
Noem lies shamelessly: "An individual approached order Patrol officers with a 9mm semi-automatic gun. The officers attempted to disarm this individual, but the armed suspect reacted violently. This looks like a situation where an individual arrived to inflict maximum damage and kill law enforcement"

These are the Democratic representatives who allowed DHS funding to pass this week, when they could have voted no and given Dems the leverage to get a funding bill that defanged ICE.

Seems unfair given how respectfully CPB agents treat others.
Not exaggerating when I say that the collective action in Minnesota will be studied for generations if not centuries to come

Not much talked about from Trump’s text:
“I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace … but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America.”
Is he saying that he previously did NOT think about what’s good for America?

I think it's worth pointing out that part of why the twin cities has a large Hmong population is because of refugee resettlement after the Vietnam war.

Now let's have more Democrats committing to end funding for DHS and eliminate ICE.
Stephen Colbert on the ICE murder of Renee Nicole Good: “The message from this administration is clear. Only they determine the truth. And when their forces come to your city: obey or die. And if you die, you clearly didn’t obey. This should be an alarm bell for the entire country.”

That’s EXACTLY what everyone is debating, as he's well aware. They lie about everything not to convince anyone but to create an environment in which truth seems unknowable.

No one who treated "wear a mask when you enter this store" as horrific tyranny actually believe in deference to state authority.
It's Schmittian friend-enemy politics all the way down. "We" should be able to do whatever we feel like without consequence. "They" should be harassed, repressed, killed.
