I know in my heart that the Siege of Minneapolis will go down as one of the biggest political blunders/grossest abuses of federal power in American history. Just a matter how long that consensus takes. Next week? Next year? Next decade?

Some call this “insane” and “mad,” but threatening to attack Greenland is consistent with envy of Putin, opposition to democracy, influenced by tech oligarchs, and a rapey reaction where “no” makes him want to take it more.
The guy cheered Russia attacking Ukraine in 2022 as “savvy” and “genius.”

It is courage, but it’s ordinary courage. What Minneapolis is doing can happen anywhere. The alternative—ignoring the thousands of masked men with machine guns kidnapping and killing in broad daylight—is simply impossible.
If (when?) this happens in my city, may I have a tenth of this courage.
Minneapolis and Saint Paul have basically mobilized into a war economy of mutual aid and non-violent defense. I’ve never seen anything like it, even during Covid. People who barely vote are guarding their schools from ICE and doing the shopping for neighbors in hiding.

This is deeply disturbing, especially after reports of growing concerns about the conditions at this facility. An investigation must take place.

The DOJ is not investigating ICE agent Jonathan Ross for the fatal shooting of Renee Good, a top official said Sunday.
The top DOJ official confirmed that an investigation is underway into Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey.

When Congress refuses to stop the regime from murdering people in boats and declaring them terrorists as a post facto justification, it’s inevitable that they start doing it to people in cars too.

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.

Can’t improve things by perpetuating the lie that immigrants are a threat. Have to take on that lie directly, siding with the pro-immigration American majority.
“But if we get rid of ICE, who will stop the rampaging hordes of scary foreigners?” isn’t good politics. It’s ceding the issue to liars.

This Douthat column suggests there's some softer version of mass deportations out there, but again, there isn't. The violence and brutality are of necessity embedded in the policy agenda itself, as I try to argue (see piece and thread below):

The feds cutting off state authorities from access to the evidence and then not investigating the case themselves seems like a massive criminal conspiracy to me
BREAM: Is the FBI investigating the ICE agent who shot Renee Good?
BLANCHE: What happened has been reviewed by millions of Americans bc it was recorded. We investigate when it's appropriate. That is not the case here. We are not going to bow to pressure. So no, we are not investigating.
