The Trump-Vance administration just used your taxes to pay for an ICE agent to do this to a 21-year-old kid, who was only protesting because another ICE agent killed a mother of three, who was only there because ICE agents are kidnapping your neighbors

this is absolutely part of the equation. Look at how virulently angry they are at Renee Good and her wife.
I've been telling people that the reason this is happening in no small part is because they see urban white Minnesotans as race traitors. For having a semi-integrated society at all, but also for 2020.

"The baby was released to her family. Her grandmother says she had a bruised cheek, but is otherwise OK."

A 1 yo with a bruised cheek is NOT ok. Not because she's incapable of giving herself that bruise, but because she was alone with amoral strangers and has no way of communicating her experience.

The reports coming out of Minnesota of the brutality of ICE terror are harrowing. What's clear to me, however, is that the people are rising up to resist this violence head on. Resistance is everywhere. We may be on our own, but we are not alone.

"Every time a whistle blows, they don’t win."
Blessed are the whistle blowers
Resistance to the ongoing brutality is everywhere. One need only step outside to find it.

A few months ago, ICE hired me

I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable

And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"

In 1993, Trump signed a mortgage for a Florida home, pledging it would be his principal residence. Seven weeks later, he attested a neighboring property would also be his principal residence.

In reality, he does not seem to have lived in either home.

Breaking NYT:

The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter.

The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status.

That is a war crime called "perfidy."

WSJ investigation: In the past 6 months ICE agents have fired at vehicles 13 times, leading to:

* 8 people shot
* 5 of which were U.S. citizens
* 2 died
* no victims drew a weapon

The playbook: Agents box in a vehicle, block attempts to flee, then fire

These numbers are not surprising to me having covered it, but it is stark seeing it laid out like this and I’m glad the Times put this together.

Just this week, someone told me they wished I would stop including the appointing president in stories, and I was like, “Not a chance.” This is why.
Trump's appellate judges have formed a nearly united phalanx to defend his agenda from legal challenges. How often they ruled for him in 2025:

Trump appointees: 92%
Other Republican appointees: 68%
Democratic appointees: 27%

Gonna take this moment to once again point out that the way that this fascist stormtrooper used his "less lethal" weapon (shooting people in the face) is contra not only to the instructions for operation of the weapon provided by the manufacturer, but to their own training in how to use the weapon.
