Reminder: If the Supreme Court upholds Trump’s attack on birthright citizenship, some of the ICE officers currently brutalizing Minnesotans may be reassigned to apprehend newborns from the hospital for immediate deportation. Just read the Trump administration’s own memo. slate.com/news-and-pol...

we *want* previously apathetic or even Trump-leaning people to see themselves in Pretti and Good. that's how we break them.

we deal with America as it is, not how we wish it to be.

Whether it's protesters filming ICE agents or ICE agents murdering protesters, there's plenty to criticize on both sides.

Tonight, on behalf of Minnesota law enforcement, I filed a lawsuit against DHS to prevent the destruction of evidence related to the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti.

DHS is not above the law, and Alex sure as hell is not beneath it.

It’s crucial that networks with Sunday morning shows not let Republicans lie about what happened today. Interrupt them, cut their mics, cut away. It’s reckless and inaccurate to let them spin a murder. The video is clear. I don’t expect this to happen, but the journalistic imperative is clear.

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

Absolutely reprehensible that AG Bondi is offering ICE stand down in exchange for access to voting rolls. Outrageous and disgusting. It shows ICE is in Minneapolis is not for law enforcement purposes. Instead it’s a way to stir up shit in blue states and extort them.
In the wake of another fatal shooting in Minneapolis.
AG Pam Bondi sends Gov. Walz a letter today making several asks including:
"Allow DOJ Civil Rights division access to state voter rolls"

Motherfuckers are good with lunatics murdering school children with assault rifles but ICE shoots a guy for legally carrying and we better let Kristi Noam do a thorough investigation.

Stephen Miller is a very sick person, more so, IMO, than the president. And he is calling the shots.

I remember when Terry Moran dared to make this observation and got fired from ABC for it.

Minnesota shouldn’t negotiate with terrorists
Pam Bondi's conditions for Minnesota: 1) give us all your state data on your food programs, including SNAP 2) repeal all your sanctuary policies in the state (since it has led to "so much crime and violence") and 3) hand over your state voting rolls. Letter here: www.fox9.com/news/minneap...

Repeal the Homeland Security Act of 2002.
I just want to make it clear that it was *Border Patrol* agents who murdered Alex Pretti, and those fuckers murder people regularly here along the border.

Renee Good´s murderer is also a former Border Patrol agent (currently ICE).

Disband ALL the paramilitary groups and prosecute every member.

The absolute bare minimum demand here should be DHS funding won't pass while Kristi Noem is DHS secretary and Bovino's still around. Not just this or that mild statutory provision they're gonna break with impunity anyway. The problem is not insufficient laws. The problem is you have lawless people.

All of this.
They are losing, they are going to lose, and they have also never been more violent and physically dangerous than they are right now.
If you want to understand what’s going on you need to be able to tell when a projection of strength is masking great weakness and hoo boy is this ever a time when that’s happening. It doesn’t mean it’s not dangerous, but don’t assume this means they’re winning.

More laws do nothing when they already break and ignore your laws with impunity. Consequences and removal for the law-breakers is not too far a stretch, it's the only thing that matters. Nothing else you could pass will be obeyed so long as the same people are in charge.
