Federalist #51: “In a free government the security for civil rights must be the same as that for religious rights. It consists in the one case in the multiplicity of interests, and in the other in the multiplicity of sects.”

Owners and proponents of crypto have a direct incentive to create chaos and dysfunction. Think Silicon Valley Bank, but the entire economy. They have now bought themselves into positions of great power. Hard to see how it ends well.

Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.

Pastor: I said to this ICE agent, 'Take me, stop harassing her.' The agent got in my face, pointed a gun at me, and said, 'Are you afraid now?' To which I said, 'I am not afraid.'

The way Colonel Lockjaw wears a tear gas canister ready for deployment at any time is pure theater.
I always thought the term "cosplaying" was overused until ICE/CBP started showing up everywhere. Look at this guy, does he think it's Fallujah? (It's a high school in Minneapolis).

Border Patrol agents continue to make arrests outside the Whipple building near Minneapolis where protesters have gathered. Didn't see the entire event, but I saw this woman yelling at agents after they made an arrest of someone near her before they arrested and dragged her away.

"ICE has waged a recruitment drive drenched in war metaphors and martial imagery. The type of person sought...is someone with a fervor for guns and an eagerness to apply violence."

Good work by @aselrod.bsky.social putting shooting in context of MAGA's violent ethos:

The industry connections of an advisory panel for the new dietary guidelines are notable, especially in light of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s criticism of corporate influence.

Importantly, ICE agents didn't just shoot Renee Goode in cold blood at point-blank range. They prevented a physician at the scene from even trying to give her emergency medical care, then fled the scene.

Criminal, murderous thugs.

This has multiple angles of video from the murder scene, for anyone who doesn't wish to see it.

But the NYT has excelled at this kind of video forensics in recent years, and it very convincingly debunks the Trump regime's version of events.
Video: Videos Contradict Trump Administration Account of ICE Shooting in Minneapolis
An analysis of footage from three camera angles shows that the motorist was driving away from — not toward — a federal officer when he opened fire.

If we had a normal President, he'd express human decency and offer condolences for the MURDERED U.S. citizen under his watch.

Instead, we get a paragraph of propaganda and excuses that put the blame on the victim – a tactic Trump has used on women for decades.

Disgusting.

According to MAGA, Renee Good, just sitting in her car, is a domestic terrorist, but Kyle Rittenhouse, shooting strangers in the street with an assault weapon, is not.

These people are such shameless, twisted liars.

The woman killed by ICE today was a poet. She won the 2020 Academy of American Poets, University & College Poetry Prize at Old Dominion University.

(And this is Renee from confirmed socials- a photo of a different woman with red lipstick is going around, but that was a classmate.)
