Heads Up Minneapolis!
MAGA propagandists Cam Higby, Kevin Posobiec & Hailey West have been spotted undercover otg & filming people today.
They mean to twist your anger & sorrow into demonization. Avoid or nonviolently, but firmly, demand they leave. The less content you give them, the better.

Perhaps Yoo can create a framework to torture us back into stability
International law no longer serves as an instrument of global stability—and the U.S. should use this moment to argue for a different approach to the rules of war, John Yoo argues.
A New International Law Can Rise From the Ashes
The United States should use this moment to argue for a different approach to the rules of war.

They call it "pulling a Vatican"
CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today.
This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting

Agree with Jamelle here, but they’re absolutely gonna try
strange to me that a lot of people on this website simultaneously agree that the administration is run by incompetents who struggle to carry out their agenda without major political blowback AND that they’ll pull off a complex and sophisticated effort to rig elections and prevent defeat in November

Ok good start I guess
Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

The Illinois Senate Primary to determine Dick Durbin's successor is in 51 days.
Of the viable candidates, I believe Lt. Gov Juliana Stratton has come closest to meeting the tragic moment we find ourselves in.
Presently, her candidacy has my vote and I urge all Chicagoans to consider likewise.

Good afternoon from downtown Chicago, where despite heavy snowfall, thousands have gathered for an anti-ICE/CBP demonstration in solidarity with the Twin Cities. More are still streaming in.
Lt. Illinois Gov. Juliana Stratton just addressed the crowd, and called for ICE to be abolished.

Corporate Good Samaritanism is a myth. Nothing good about the modern world that has been accomplished by corporations was done for the benefit of humanity. If anything had those results it was a happy coincidence that aligned with their bottom line

We are seeing ordinary citizens — a children’s face painter and a doctor — come forth with sworn affidavits to describe the killing of the Minneapolis nurse.
In case you were wondering what courage looks like.

shouting for the journalists in the back: IT’S NOT AN IMMIGRATION CRACKDOWN.
It’s a federal occupation of a city that didnt vote the right way. And the occupying force is there to enforce civil infractions, misdemeanors.

ngl I've always been in favor of gun control but this is a real strong point in favor that American gun culture was about southerner's right to violently resist reconstruction, not self-defense or fighting tyranny.

I will immediately resign from my corporate gig and take the attendant pay cut if a future D POTUS offers me a DOJ spot persecuting members of this Administration
Honestly a federal commission with prosecutorial authority paired with stripping immunity from ICE officers would be a huge wombo combo

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.
