This weekend, I wrote about the state murder of Renee Good, and the fascist claim that her murderer enjoys absolute immunity, and a common-sense reversal of qualified immunity that protects civilians from authorities, rather than the other way around.

Absolute Immunity
Alignment with supremacy is a vile choice. Raising the natural costs for those who make that choice by putting first things first.

This is 100% correct for the Senate. They should DEFINITELY not be passing that omnibus bill next week and they should slow everything else to a complete halt as well
Not sure, but at a minimum there should be no unanimous consent on anything and every level to obstruct or slow down anything should be deployed. Make those fuckers stay in the capitol as long as possible if they're going to be useless.

Congress, you have failed to act, and now you all (yes, even you progressives) have blood on your hands.
Congressional Dems need to face the hard truth that people are dying in Minneapolis to oppose ICE precisely because some Dem Reps in Congress aren't. They are dying because the Reps somehow can't see the moment. Would doing so have saved the MP'ers? Maybe not - but they stood because you wouldn't.

The attorney general is threatening a state that the federal government will continuing murdering its citizens in the streets unless they provide access to state voter rolls, a lawless demand which is the subject of ongoing litigation.
Fox News: "I've gotten my hands that AG Bondi said she sent to Gov. Tim Walz. It is strongly worded. The AG calls for the governor to support the men and women of ICE, to repeal the state's sanctuary policies, and to allow the DOJ to access state voter rolls."

I attempted to go to an ICE patrol training here in LA this morning and they had to turn most of us away because of capacity issues and even as I was leaving I saw a ton more folks showing up
so that’s how well their attempts to scare everyone away are going, even in the face of murder

The women say they guided agents through the emergency, later raising concerns about medical protocols, weapons safety and accountability.

Them, but also more directly: 285 people out of 535 could end all this (218 + 67). That fact should not be treated as an "oh they'll never do it" shrug, as if they don't have agency. They should be hammered constantly as traitors and cowards every day they don't.

ICE enforcement concentrates on Latino communities, spreads fear, and tears families apart — while crime doesn’t fall.
That’s not enforcement.

If every Democrat voted NO on funding ICE, it would not have passed the House. But, 7 House Democrats voted to fund Trump's lawless, masked goons, so it passed.
Hakeem Jeffries refused to whip his members to vote against ICE funding. Genuinely unforgivable.
