The problem was never the Harris campaign or her strategy. For 25+ yrs our information space has been steadily co-opted by greedy fascist oligarchs who use lies to sell fear, hatred & division for profit. Limbaugh, Smith, Murdoch, Musk etc. There's NO left-wing analog because facts are boring. 1/2
American public investigating whether Justice Department is corrupt and treasonously unfaithful to our laws and constitution.

Bondi impeded Epstein enforcement.
Bondi scuttled Homan investigation.
Bondi authorized evidence-free investigations.
Bondi lied about $25k donation from Trump.
#BondiResign
So let me see if I have this straight… The Justice Department is a month delinquent in releasing 99 percent of the Epstein Files, but they have time for this petty,
vindictive bullshit? 🤷‍♂️

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention.

The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.
Opinion | I'm a Minneapolis sociologist who studies violence. Here's how ICE observers are helping.
Research into how violence occurs shows that disapproval from the people around you can help reduce it.

The ICE agent accused of shooting and killing Keith Porter on New Year’s Eve has a history of racism, homophobia and beating his children.

This is who ICE attracts.

This can’t be reformed.

My grandma is 83, from rural Minnesota, and last night said the words “god you people are so fucking stupid, just let trans folks alone” while complaining about how much she hates Trump and his ilk.
There’s no excuse for bigotry at any age.
Every time I hear "I'm old, it's too hard to adjust" I think about this man in his 70s seeing transphobia take hold of the country and saying directly, with conviction, from the highest soapbox he could find, "fix your hearts or die."

It's actually a good thing that previously apolitical normies are finally getting angry and starting to speak out. We need the numbers in the streets and at the polls.

If your response to them is "no, fuck you, too late," then you don't actually care about stopping Trump. You're just preening.

A federal judge bars DHS and ICE agents in Minneapolis from using "pepper-spray or similar nonlethal munitions and crowd dispersal tools" against peaceful protesters. Federal agents there now also cannot stop vehicles that are following them at a safe distance. storage.courtlistener.com/rec...

Trump's stupid tariffs, needless trade wars, seizures of businesses & countries, deportation of essential workers & erratic policies have hammered our economy, increasing prices while weakening the job market.

AVERAGE AMERICANS FEEL THE FINANCIAL PAIN despite Trump's economic lies.

"Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system … is a dangerous, authoritarian tactic.

ICE keeps saying the people protesting it are being paid without any evidence, but we have receipts showing that the people *defending* ICE are absolutely being paid.

And yet we only hear lies about the former on cable news.
relevant to the debate over whether we should keep funding DHS without reforms and accountability for how out of control their spending is

They literally always accuse protesters of being paid because 1) it shifts the terrain of the debate and 2) it reassures their base that no one legitimately holds a contrary position. They take comfort in thinking that anyone who disagrees with Trump is either brainwashed or a cynic.

New party identification polling from Gallup this week shows Americans are moving against Trump faster than they did in his first term. Adults were R+4 in 2024, now D+8. That 12-pt drop is 3x the change in the first year of his first term.

ICE needs to mask to protect their identities, but ICE will publicize the names of protesters

ICE demands to be addressed respectfully, or ICE will call you a "fucking bitch"

ICE demands to be treated civilly, or ICE will fly into a rage and kill more innocents

Trump is privately worried about the "optics" of ICE raids and his advisers are looking for ways to soften them, Axios reports. I'm calling bullshit: The terror and violence cannot be hived off from the broader policy agenda. They are 100% intrinsic to it.

New piece:

Trump’s Own Advisers Suddenly Unnerved as ICE Raids Take Horrific Turn
So the president doesn’t like the “optics” of what ICE is doing. But there’s no such thing as sanitized, popular mass deportations—and this is by design.

FACT CHECK:

"Corrupt" is a lie.
"Professional agitators" is a lie.
"Insurrectionists" is a lie.
"Attacking" is a lie.
"Patriots" is a lie.

"Travesty" actually describes ICE.
