Observer networks successfully warn lots of Minnesotans about ICE activity & record rights' violations.
I had a feeling Ross's killing of an observer might've been a premeditated, strategic brush back, to intimidate us against using our 1st Amendment rights.
This talk strengthens that feeling.

America voters cried out for more war, fewer rights, higher prices, fewer jobs, less healthcare, more corruption, fewer allies, more bigotry, less equality, more lies, more criminality, and less democracy. And they got what they voted for, even if some didn’t realize that’s what they were doing.

The only way the next democratic administration is going to do anything even somewhat resembling reforming and rooting out lawless thugs from ICE and elsewhere is due to sustained popular pressure. Otherwise, the instinct from the Dem elite to just turn the page and move on is going to be massive
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

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.
In the video that the shooter took, which I believe was leaked to be exculpatory, he appears to yell “fucking bitch” after he shoots Renee Good.

Here’s a comment for the people who are upset that MN hasn’t charged Jonathan Ross already:
If you just Leeeroy Jenkins this shit you will lose and you will empower fascism and murder.
It is indescribably hard to prosecute cops for murder. It is even hard when the murder is ON VIDEO.

/7 Prosecuting a cop for misconduct, let alone murder, is the hardest prosecution you can do in America. Thanks to America’s culture it’s like trying to convict a fucking kitten for high treason. It’s like trying to convict Jesus. You just cannot rush over confidently into that.

In very early season South Park, The residents couldn't hunt animals. But if the animals were "coming right at them" they could act and self-defense. So they all went hunting and yelled "they're coming right at me" before shooting.

Better yet, disestablish all of DHS, and undo the nightmarish idiocies that we created in a panic 25 years ago. Reestablish the INS, get rid of ODNI, fix the damage from the Patriot Act, etc.

Good, direct, unequivocal messaging here.
Also: to Trumpists, lying is a patriotic sacrament. Trumpists lie because they believe, as a tenet of Trumpism, that the people they hate deserve to be lied to and that it’s for the best for the few people they don’t hate today.

Last night, I saw some frustration with Schumer and Jeffries. I have two thoughts. First, we truly always underestimated Nancy Pelosi. One of the dumber things Hegseth keeps saying is the first is not always the best. Of course, the first is usually the best. That is why they win, dummy.

This sounds about right. 👇
So the emerging picture seems to be: Trump Admin imagines it struck a deal with elements of Maduro's regime to hand him over and stay in power, in exchange (presumably) for inviting US oil companies back and stopping oil supplies to Cuba ....

From 2001 to 2003, I lived in Colombia as part of a team documenting the results of US foreign policy in the Andes, and for the last eight years I’ve served as a commissioner at the Port of Seattle. My perspective on the capture of Maduro is based on those experiences. A few thoughts:

The only appropriate response to these actions are impeachment, conviction, and removal.
Donald Trump has betrayed his oath time and again, and this must rank among one of the most egregious betrayals.

Donald Trump has committed a shockingly reckless unlawful and unconstitutional act--even for him!--that endangers national security and global stability.
Trump has unleashed forces he cannot contain, and he is responsible for that blowback on US interests.

This is insane.
In the Maduro capture operation, the Trump administration relies on Bill Barr’s (discredited) 1989 memo claiming a President can disregard the UN Charter (CNN report).
That is a loaded gun. The legal analysis is utterly flawed.

Worth noting that even as Trump bombs Venezuela to unilaterally seize Maduro on domestic US charges, the ICC judges who voted to investigate US war crimes in Afghanistan face such severe US banking sanctions that they are for all intents and purposes excluded from modern life.
