Reminder: If the Supreme Court upholds Trump’s attack on birthright citizenship, some of the ICE officers currently brutalizing Minnesotans may be reassigned to apprehend newborns from the hospital for immediate deportation. Just read the Trump administration’s own memo. slate.com/news-and-pol...

This is not what "we're supposed to do."
You don't need a concealed carry permit in Texas. Texans do not have to show our IDs to police unless we are lawfully detained (reasonable suspicion) or arrested (probable cause).
This guy would rather sacrifice his own rights than break the party line.

Chip Roy: "As someone who carries a weapon in TX, if I'm in front of law enforcement or if I get stopped, I tell them that. I tell them that I've got a concealed carry permit. I show them my ID. I tell them where the weapon is bc that's what we're supposed to do. That's not what I think I saw here"

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

Basically agree with this, unless [not going to get into it but IYKYK and this needs no explanation]. Also remember state laws can control when/where you may concealed or open carry. In NC, for instance, no firearms at protests of any kind. Know this sort of thing cold before arming yourself.
under most circumstances a gun will not make you safer. it will be used as evidence that your death was justified.

My friends, we are in a serious constitutional crisis. The government is racially profiling, suppessing free speech, killing our own people in the streets— and lying about every fact along the way. If we don’t use our natural talents and voices to say “no,” then what’s the point of law at all?
Thinking about those law professors who have done their part to normalize what we are seeing, either by approvingly amplifying extreme right wing sources (like the Daily Caller, Federalist, Dan McLaughlin), or by writing scholarship about Trumpism like it's a hypo and not reality.

Q: You just made claims that the individual posed a threat to law enforcem--
NOEM: That is no claim! It is the facts. the facts of the situation, this individual showed up to a law enforcement operation with a weapon. He was there to perpetuate violence.

boy, it's not fun to think back to comparativist political science
This is when the Linz stuff comes to a head. Two competing branches of government with competing claims of legitimacy in open conflict.
people worry too much about "rigging the midterms" (a phenomenon that would require force they do not have) with "civil crisis over Congress post-victory"

Very small point but some of the agents in that video are wearing sneakers in Minnesota in January. Not even prepared enough to wear a pair of boots

Genuinely the only thing keeping me going—but it really is keeping me going—is how good it is to see people link arms and push for this to end.
I cannot stop thinking about how much love people can have for their neighbors, and how much work and money is poured into breaking that love apart.

Not to put too fine a point on this, but the federal government cannot do what they're trying to do without tacit support of local and state law enforcement and business entities.

The best way to deal with a large persistent snowfall is to shovel early and often. Be sure to push the snow more than lift, it saves your back.

In my view, repression at home and thuggery abroad - most recently Greenland - are two sides of the same coin. Both reflect the worldview of people who think violence, power, threat and coercion are all that's required to push your agenda through & secure your interests.

So they're gonna keep guns aimed at protesters while ICE kidnaps more people? That's what it is until I see the NG pointing guns at ICE agents.
