Don’t look away from MN. ICE is still wreaking havoc across the state - changing their tactics to deceive Minnesotans - pretending to be construction workers or folks delivering groceries. Still over 2,000 ICE agents in the state. They’re not going anywhere, your anger and outrage shouldn’t either.

I'm all for abolishing ICE, but I've been frustrated by the lack of an actual legislative method to do so. This seems like the kind of mechanism we need to start the process. Oh, and nepo baby, Bloody Bill Kristol is still a pinhead. emptywheel.net/bill-kristol...

It bears repeating that Tom Homan is a fucking psycho and Greg Bovino's exile means functionally nothing when it comes to what's happening on the ground in Minnesota.
In one 30-minute stretch, three legal observers were arrested — as Trump’s Border czar Tom Homan calls on locals to “end the resistance.”

Palantir, Deloitte, and the private prison giant GEO Group took in more than $22 billion from ICE and CBP last year. Behind the spreadsheets and contracts, there's a quieter truth: someone is getting rich from cages, borders, and human pain. Profit has always been fluent in the language of cruelty.

This sickens me so deeply because anyone who knew young people and their families within the trans community knew this was true. Could viscerally feel the damage that has been done to a whole generation. And the instinct from Labour was not to address the harm – it was to cover it up. Unforgivable.
What do you call someone whose instinct, confronted by evidence that their policies are contributing to a massive increase in deaths, is to cover it up? And should that person be a Labour Minister? Or in prison?

“MAGA-aligned military commanders” is a phrase that shouldn’t exist.
Telling subordinates they have to go see the president’s wife’s bribe movie shouldn’t be a thing either.
Even in the best case scenario, undoing Trump’s politicization of the military will be long, difficult, crucial work.
