What if instead of abolishing the Gestapo we told them only to work a few days a week? I think that's a compromise that we can all agree on. I'm very smart.
Dems coalescing around 5 restrictions on ICE, I'm told:
DHS required to cooperate with state probes (big)
CBP stays at border
warrants for arrests
IDs, bodycams
ICE out of churches, schools
"That package unites a lot of Dems," Sen Chris Murphy tells me on the pod:

As we grieve for Alex Pretti and Renee Good in MN, please do not forget Victor Manuel Diaz, who died in ICE custody after being taken from here. And all others who have died in their custody.
36-year-old Nicaraguan national Victor Manuel Diaz died in ICE custody on Jan. 14 at Camp East Montana in El Paso.
The Texas Nicaraguan Community on FB reports that his mom last heard from him on Jan. 6, when he told her he was planning to go to Minneapolis to start work in a restaurant. 1/3

ijs almost 400k Black people are incarcerated right now so it seems like the country might have had plenty of practice kicking in doors without warrants, separating families, and putting people in cages

If you voted for Kamala you voted for military lethality, "border security" (see: racist conspiracy theories), and continuing genocide in Gaza. Also she planned to "follow the law" when it came to trans people, whatever the fuck that means. Your moral high ground is an illusion. YOU are shit.

Two headlines on the BBC website:
1. Iran protesters defy crackdown as videos show violent clashes
2. Thousands march and dozens arrested in Minneapolis protests against ICE
The two most pertinent editorial word choices here are 'crackdown' and 'arrested.' See how this works?

The shooter was border patrol. Border patrol loves esalating to violence and has historically always tried jumping in front of vehicles to justify using violence and killing people.

The only reason cops would ever stand up to ICE is because they don't like having their local monopoly on violence infringed upon by Federal interlopers.
Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara issued a stern warning to his officers on Thursday: Intervene when you see Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents using unlawful force or lose your job.

US regime change wars are reliably disastrous, and are always justified based on lies. This would be true even if Venezuela really was a major drug trafficking threat and even if Maduro really was the world’s most evil dictator, neither of which are the case.
