We have a system set up to prevent this, and we have a party that has set itself up to prevent the system from working.
We are watching one of the wildest things a nation-state has ever done: A superpower is committing suicide because the GOP Congress is too cowardly to stand up to the Mad King.
This is one of the wildest moments in all of geopolitics ever.

To all the Sensible Centrist Smart White Men™ who say "It's tiresome when people jump online to litigate ICE shooting of Renee Good."
We jump online to litigate it because we all know in our bones that it won't get properly litigated by the people whose JOB IT IS TO LITIGATE IT.

Pritzker: The Insurrection Act is designed for circumstances where your rights can’t be protected by local authorities
This is exactly the opposite.
Your civil rights are being infringed upon by CBP and ICE, and then they want to call in troops claiming that they’re protecting CBP and ICE.

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.

12 years ago a cop in Milwaukee killed Dontre Hamilton. People started arguing.
Me: "Can we step back & start with the premise that it'd be better if Hamilton was alive?"
Some dude: "That cop had to go home safe to his family, and I don't care how many bullies it took."
Telling Freudian slip.
