I’m reading Ordinary Men, about the Nazi regime’s reserve police battalions, and the parallels to ICE are pretty glaring, even more so than to the Gestapo

These women are among the greatest—and bravest—Minnesotans ever. Not a single ICE agent has the tiniest fraction of their courage and dignity.
The rage I feel for what's being done to them is indescribable.
ABOLISH ICE.

There’s a kind of person happy to take romance money, but they’re embarrassed and humiliated by the genre. And all I can tell you is that I avoid those people as much as I can.

DHS employees entered our store this afternoon and served us a Notice of Inspection, demanding copies of I9 forms for each employee.
In 27 years as shopkeepers, we have never been subjected to this type of investigation.

The idea that the thousands of upper-middle-class people (and *retirees*) who've taken to the streets in defense of their neighbors in MN will suddenly be cowed by their employers discovering they're decent people who care about basic human rights is absurd.

"Armed" by being the driver of a car. It's their propaganda line.
When law-and-order types point out that only a small percentage of people killed by police each year were unarmed, keep in mind that Renee Good will be classified as "armed."

Heard on NPR this morning that about half a dozen members of the Oglala Sioux Nation were detained by ICE in Minneapolis. They let one go, but have kept the others hostage, demanding access to the reservation, which is sovereign tribal land.

Leia’s whole story should be about how her participating in the rebellion led directly to her planet and everyone she knew being obliterated. That should have haunted her. Changed her.
Instead it’s never mentioned again. She never acts like someone buried in, or even experiencing, guilt or grief.

Sincerely wanting to understand why is honest people resigning, being considered an act of bravery or somehow fruitful. It’s one thing if the admin felt embarrassed by the resignations & rectified course. But that’s not happening, so now our institutions are just left with fewer people of integrity.
Breaking: NYT now says *six* federal prosecutors in Minnesota have just resigned over the Justice Department's push to investigate the widow of Renee Good and the department's reluctance to investigate the ICE agent who shot Good, according to people with knowledge of their decision.

One basic pattern here is that DHS officials are engaging in violence simply because they are irritated at citizens protesting them. There is no plausible threat of violence here. He just wants to inflict pain, and believes there will be no penalty for doing so.
Big clash this afternoon between DHS agents and protesters in a residential street in Minneapolis, following a DHS agent hitting another vehicle. Tear gas was deployed in people’s yards and agents pepper prayed people.
