Hi everyone! In case you can’t tell, I like to repost and like things by others. I’ve always been resistant to writing - just ask my teachers 🤣
I’ll sometimes reply or quote a post. I’m not a bot. I just like to read more than write ☮️

Why? Is Cassidy now going to suddenly grow a spine now that Trump kicked him to the curb? He’s going to be Thom Tillis 2.0? If only these people could do the right thing BEFORE they are kicked out the club.

Noem is making a specific claim about “organized, funded protesters” committing “acts of violence” here.

Notwithstanding she provides no specific evidence of funding (and that Minnesota is especially intense) protesters against ICE have, in fact, been a consistent presence all over the country.
Kristi Noem: "When we did these operations in other cities across the country, we didn't see this kind of violence. We didn't see organized, funded protesters come in to conduct acts of violence against our law enforcement officers like we're seeing in Minneapolis."

Kristi Noem is the one who released Jonathan Ross's name to the public but she's angry that anyone else would repeat what she revealed.

Pretty sure her noggin is 90% botox and fillers at this point.

Alabama has no OBGYNs in many of their counties, so they're doing something pretty cool. They're not bringing OBGYNs to those counties.

Jesus, look at Trump's & RFK Jr.'s faces while Oz blabs. Their brains are approaching process shutdown.

I mean, if we're talking robot substitutions...
Dr Oz: "Alabama has no OBGYNs in many of their counties, so they're doing something pretty cool. They're actually having robots do ultrasounds on these pregnant moms."

It’s ironic that they’re like “if we do ethnic cleansing we’ll have a high trust neighborly society” and then Minneapolis is literally doing high trust neighborly society and they’re like nooooo
Many Americans are terrible neighbors to each other, and that is why MN is striking everyone as extraordinary activism... when they are telling us that it is not. They're good neighbors!

It's no wonder that "being a shitty neighbor" is the hallmark of our domestic politics and our foreign policy.

Nuanced take: I think it's really important to give *normal citizens* who supported Trump and off-ramp and *professional writers, pundits and politicians* who supported Trump should have to wear it like a scarlet letter for the rest of their lives
This is aggravating, because on the one hand I think it's really important to give fascists an off-ramp and positive reinforcement when they use it...

...on the other hand, FUCK that guy, in particular.

"We've seen over a thousand percent increase in assaults on ICE officers, 8,000 verbal assaults on them...."

Two hours before 60 Minutes is scheduled to air, CBS News finally sends out a press release announcing that the "Inside CECOT" segment will be featured.

Normally these listing come out a few days in advance.

This is where we are at. For what? For nothing. For stupidity. For ego. For an old, demented malignant narcissist who expects the world to jump at his every whim. Well, when you follow international news you can see that the world has pretty much had enough of his bullshit.

Pew Research Institute (2023):

• Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants

• Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants

• Blue State Minnesota has 130,000.

And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration."

It's *not* about immigration.

Well yes, but that is a general description of what LEOs can’t do. No one can legally arrested by anyone unless they broke the law.

Saying that immigration officers are trumping up charges against citizens is different than saying that ICE can’t arrest citizens, is my point.
They can arrest on these grounds IF the person actually the broke the law.

They don’t have a free pass to arrest anyone they want.

The incredibly lukewarm Democratic response on Greenland is being noticed in Europe, incidentally.

Chuck Schumer not finding a stronger word than “quixotic” for Trump’s plan to seize Greenland has been name checked to me more than once.
But Americans who want to save the alliance with Europe must have no illusions about how bad a condition this transatlantic partnership is in.

Norwegian PM Støre says Trump repeatedly raises—complains about, pleads for, and demands—the Nobel Peace Prize every time they meet. Støre gives same answer each time: decision is made independently by Norwegian Nobel Committee, with no role for Norwegian gov—a concept Trump appears unable to grasp.

As @qjurecic.bsky.social has written, DHS is accusing people of violations of 18 USC 111 and arresting them on those grounds.

ICE officers have authority to do that, even though the legality of individual arrests is hotly contested.

The Trump Administration’s Favorite Tool for Criminalizing Dissent
Federal prosecutors have charged more than 100 people with Section 111 violations. Was their crime anything more than opposing Trump’s immigration policies?

I’ve seen a lot going around about these cells reserved for US citizens, and it’s worth reminding people that ICE officers (and immigration officers in general) do in fact have legal authority to arrest US citizens for any felonies or “offenses against the United States” witnessed by an officer.
Missed this a few days ago:

Two U.S. citizens grabbed by ICE say there were cells reserved for Americans.

Also, they weren’t given medical attention or allowed to go to the bathroom.

Yes, we can already mine in Greenland and stage military operations there. But unless we own it, we cannot do ICE raids, ban trans athletes, and take away their healthcare.
