I get that our universities are bound by their institutional neutrality on weighing in on partisan questions like whether it’s okay for armed paramilitaries to shoot civilians dead on the street. It’s the sort of thing an institution committed to the truth couldn’t possibly weight in on. (1/2)

It’s no comfort, but the official DHS line being “he can be killed by masked agents of the state because he had a legal gun” is such an interesting new frontier in how Trump has made the conservative movement very publicly and embarrassingly abandon every principal it once claimed.

Numbly retweeting Bill Kristol because he somehow has more moral courage than 98% of Dem electeds these days
On the execution in Minnesota: Obviously, the individuals involved should be held accountable. But responsibility goes to the top of ICE and CBP, and DHS. Their appropriations come up next week in the senate. Not a cent for DHS without pulling ICE and CBP off the streets, in MN and everywhere else.

Only the most extreme reasons (e.g. active war, pandemic) should be allowed to halt free movement of people. It ought to be the default right of human beings.

As I’ve said a billion times, there is no border crisis, there is a policy crisis. There was a fucking trillion dollars invested in enforcing an immigration policy that has gone from crisis to catastrophe under this administration.
Once again, immigration is not even a problem. Immigrants are not more criminal, they don't cost jobs, they don't harm the economy. There is no reason for any of this. It is hurting ourselves to hurt them.

There is video circulating on social media of a group of ICE agents beating a man near 26th and Nicollet in south Minneapolis, then one of the ICE agents shoots the man while he's on the ground numerous times. A witness can be heard yelling that the victim is dead.

In these tumultuous times, it's more important than ever to eschew the petty divisions of left and right, of Democrat and Republican. I'm proud to be one the few representatives bold enough to reject party orthodoxy and reach across the aisle to work hand-in-hand with my Nazi pedophile colleagues

Don't forget the Supreme Court's role facilitating ICE's brutality and racism in Minneapolis. SCOTUS lifted an injunction that limited racial profiling in immigration enforcement on Sept. 8. The federal assault on Chicago began the next day. Then came the Twin Cities. SCOTUS greenlit these horrors.

You get a general strike—on the rare occasions you do—by the long slow slog of building organizing power with those around you in response to local conditions.
