that’s who the real Undecideds are
it’s not some mythical being who is exactly half Democrat + half Republican who can only be reached by achieving Peak Centrism
it’s someone so checked out from reality that People Magazine is how they’re going to find out that ICE is just executing bystanders now

ICE killing #AlexPretti should remind you of police killing #PhilandoCastille. Both men had concealed weapon permits, did not draw their guns, & were killed in Minn. These homicides are the price of unaccountable policing. These deaths are variations on the same fatal theme.

"bearing witness to events" literally just means recording what is happening so it cannot be elided or erased in the future, it does not mean you are required to watch execution videos as some duty, stop letting people who don't understand words tell you what to do

I'm not sure Democrats in D.C. are aware that their base's rage against ICE has reached a level of blinding white-hot intensity.
They're worried about "looking weak" for voting "against law enforcement" when they should be worried a mob of housewives is going to come beat them to death if they do.

The NRA will comment on this shooting just as soon as they’re done writing their statement in defense of Philando Castile’s 2A rights.

The anger people have at media institutions and college administrators can’t be detached from this, it’s not just that people can perceive cowardice it’s that they see others with more on the line doing more to stand up for their values than the people who have been trusted to safeguard things

Was talking to a family member about this last night. Minnesota's upstanding is so effective in part because we started preparing *last spring*. Then an additional round of prep when we saw what was happening in Chicago. Wherever you are, start building now.
I cannot emphasize this enough. If you live in a city, ICE IS COMING TO YOU. Get to know your neighbors now. Start signal chats now. Figure out what you can do well and get to it. See what other cities have done and well and replicate it.
This is also where you have to get your seeds of community in the ground while the ground is soft. Don’t wait until the goons are at your neighborhood schools to figure out who’s going to walk your dog/mind your baby/get everybody fed.

Thesis: ICE is un-American and the Minneapolis protestors are real Americans.
Antithesis: Ackshually ICE is operating in a long American tradition of racist terror.
Synthesis: Minneapolis is now the epicenter of a clash between two distinct but historically grounded American political traditions.

remember: the rules of "CEO said a thing!" journalism require you offer no historical context about the CEOs past statements or actions, you downplay or ignore any realistic challenges to the CEOs claims, and, most importantly, you avoid citing any actual experts in the field you're writing about

We already had the real-world experience of unvaccinated people getting measles, and it's why we invented the vaccine for measles.
It's one thing to be a sociopath playing with the lives of others. It's another to be gleefully stupid about it.

I know the Christian Nationalists take up a lot of oxygen in the religion/politics sphere but I've never seen anything like the faith group mobilization going on in Minneapolis. Houses of worship have decades of infrastructure and they're organizing to protect immigrants in the Twin Cities.
