Blanche alongside a video of ICE brutalizing a protester: "There are thousands of immigration actions all over this country every single day, and nowhere do you hear this made up outrage from local politicians and activists except for in Minnesota. And that should be telling to the American people."

Interesting. The episode was not flagged in the usual Friday announcement about the 60 Minutes episode.
If you're following the unbuilding of CBS News, there's a development.

@brianstelter.bsky.social says the Inside CECOT report is to air tonight, "according to sources at CBS."

This part interested me most: "The promised interview did not materialize."

i was talking with someone in the twin cities about how it’s not even accurate to call them protesters. they’re literally just people protecting their city from TERRORISTS.
Every time the Trump regime uses the words "funded protesters" and "outside agitators" news outlets need to cut to this photo from last week.

ICE has invaded these communities. Outside agitators don't show up in their fucking bathrobes.

“Abolish ICE” isn’t radical, it doesn’t go far enough.

They expect - they NEED - the people they threaten to fall in line, like the law firms and universities and media companies and billionaires and Congress did. If you say “No, make me,” they simply do not have a Plan B. TRUMP DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH GUYS TO MAKE YOU.

Courage comes in times of fear. Strength comes in times of crisis.

What I’ve seen in Minnesota and across America is people coming together, showing that courage and strength in their communities, and standing up to ICE and this authoritarian administration.

We will not lose hope.

Trump saw Israel trying to annex Gaza and the West Bank and Russia trying to annex Ukraine, and thought, "I want in on annexation too."

You're paying for this.

Trump's Big Ugly Bill gave BILLIONS to ICE and giant corporations—using money meant to lower your health care costs.

Instead of helping your mom get cancer treatment, your tax dollars are being used to terrorize communities.
CNN airs a compilation of escalating ICE aggression towards peaceful protesters.

this is correct, and I really should write something about how it operates in China.
I've increasingly come to view cynicism as the seedbed of totalitarianism, both because it can paralyze the opposition and because it implicitly validates the might-makes-right ethic of the authoritarian.
i have been reading Tom Ricks’ “Fighting the Good War” which is a military analysis of the civil rights movement, and one thing that comes abundantly across is that movement leaders and ordinary people made it a practice to refuse to fall into despair and cynicism.

Holy shit.

Renee Good was alive when the bystander physician asked to check her pulse. She was alive when ICE refused to let him help. She was alive when they told him “I don’t care.”

Oh wow. Trump got a hand-me-down Nobel Peace Prize! Did you know:

It would not be the first time a Nobel laureate has given his or her medal away: in 1943 Nobel Literature laureate Knut Hamsun gave his medal to Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels.

The NYT has a new video analysis of Renee Good's shooting which is careful, accurate, and clear - he walked across the path of a moving car, then leaned in and shot her with his feet well clear of the vehicle. 1/

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports.

And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.”

Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

It's honestly kind of funny that they're trying to paint Minnesota of all places as a violent crime infested hellhole and the people there as "dangerous radical communists" or whatever when the biggest stereotypes about Minnesotans is how nice they are. Their state slogan is "Minnesota nice" lol.
