some of ICE and CBP are stone-cold psychos but inevitably most of them are racist bullies who nonetheless get worn down by relentless negative reinforcement and abuse because that's how humans as social creatures react to other humans
It occurs to me all the yelling at ICE in MPLS isn't merely funny. Getting made fun of like this is awful for morale. ICE is losing field officers faster than it can wave them through training, and a big part of it is how little of this these little weasels can take.
ICE at Midway Target and seem to possible be leaving. Lots of community members here

For every non-detained person murdered by ICE, there are many more facing abuse and murder outside of the public eye. DHS is expanding these abusive detention centers walled off the public eye. I’ve had the chance to speak to a former constituent who was able to get out bcs he had a good lawyer.

Understand: these incidents are not an example of a failure of training, they are an example of a successful understanding of the true mission of ICE.
ICE knows full well that it's the new SS, and that it exists to terrorize and abuse citizens into silent compliance.
No training can fix this.

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."
The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

Maddow: I think it is a bad mistake to let Joy Reid walk out the door. It is also unnerving to see that on a network where we've got two nonwhite hosts in primetime, both of our nonwhite hosts in primetime are losing their shows, as is Katie Phang on the weekend. I do not defend it.

I heard my friend Dan here give a remarkable brief talk about this last month. Thankfully, he’s written it up at length to share.
In light of everything happening, I wrote about how the KKK in the 1920s felt unstoppable, about the people that fought against them anyway, and about how fascism always fails. dansinker.com/posts/202…

Hey Governor Kemp: Saw your comments in “The Patch” about how it was NO BIG DEAL that nearly 1,300 CDC probationary workers jobless following layoffs because the federal government could use “rightsizing.” Question: Do you have any idea about any medical research projects #CDC has going

one of the dark genius parts of these mass layoffs is targeting “probationary” workers, which makes it sound like they’re firing new college grads within then first two weeks of being government employees
Old friend just laid off by USDA, 1 mos short of his probationary period as senior researcher. Brilliant person who left a tenured faculty position several yrs ago to join USDA. Bright early-career researchers also being laid off. USDA is terminating a generation of highly-qualified scientists.

What is it about watching a 4-year-old tell a 78-year-old with the maturity of a 2-year-old to "shut up and go away" that is SO deeply satisfying?
