I have a feeling the Minnesota protester photos released by DHS are going to be used in exactly the same way. Heroes, all.
In an Irish context this was called ‘felon setting’; a favourite tactic of Dublin Castle to punish via RIC/DMP visits to employers & landlords. But after #EasterRising Irish Times eagerly leaped to print detailed lists leaked to them, not realising how this would soon be a roll of honour #spéirgorm

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.

One strategic reason to impeach Noem ASAP is that it increases the likelihood she'll turn on Miller, especially if she thinks the admin is hanging her out to dry.
Of course. And that’s why Dems need to lean in and work towards dismantling ICE.
First no funding.
Impeach Noem.
Demand hearings on ICE’s operation in MN.
Demand that Miller resign.
Don’t let up.

“An administration official gave away the game to Punchbowl News, admitting that these “de-escalatory measures” are about placating Senate Democrats so they don’t seize this moment to demand restrictions on ICE as part of any government funding package.”

People usually don’t believe u when u say what they’ll do abroad they’ll try to do to you at home, and it’s as if the second trump admin is trying to prove the point as explicitly as possibly can be proven.
We are at war with Somalia in Minnesota and Maine and even in Somalia.
Quite possible that January ends with more strikes in Somalia in a single month than conducted by any non-Trump president in any single year.
