It is important to read writers like M. Gessen. They teach Americans what many are still having trouble grasping.
This is not just an unhinged president and untrained agency. Not “bad politics.” Not random.
It is a systemic approach followed by authoritarians the world over as they grasp power.

Don’t let this White House lie to you. Believe what you see.
Alex Pretti was trying to help a woman off the ground. Then immigration agents tackled, shot, and killed him.
It’s time for them to get the hell out of MN.

This morning, on a street in Minneapolis, at least seven federal agents tackled and then shot and killed Alex Jeffrey Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse for the local VA hospital.

Congress must defund ICE now. Call Noem to testify, impeach her if she doesn't. And here in NY we need to take speedy action to support immigrants and legal aid and to pass the NY Civil Rights Act so individuals can sue when their rights are violated.

Every elected official must speak out against what ICE is doing in our streets. Executions in full daylight; deliberate, disproportionate use of force vs civilians. Imagine if the Capitol police had killed J6 rioters with such casual brutality - and they actually had reason to fear for their lives.

I put out the word at 7 Eastern that Minnesotans were calling a vigil at 8/7 Central time and 20 of my neighbors came out in the bitter cold to hold candles on the corner in solidarity. I love my neighborhood- and our country, if we can keep it.

When your life is a never-ending grift hard to recognize what actual civic behavior looks like
James O'Keefe says he's never seen anything so organized as the anti-ICE movement, observers--he seems to think this term is code--everywhere he goes. Who is paying for it??? he demands to know. It's like he can't even imagine people caring for one another.

Rep. Maxwell Frost, a Florida Democrat, says he was assaulted by a man at Sundance Festival who told him that President Trump was going to deport him before punching the lawmaker in the face. "He was heard screaming racist remarks as he drunkenly ran off. The individual was arrested and I am okay."
