Everyone’s talking about the backgrounder on the rift between Marjorie Taylor Greene and Donald Trump, published yesterday by the NYT. But not enough people are focused on two bombshell revelations buried in that piece. My write-up is in the replies.

Whistling when ICE is about to kidnap someone for no reason is incredibly effective. They know what they are doing is wrong and will scatter in the wind when too many witnesses gather.

For decades lawmakers have funded and outfitted cops with military gear who are trained to unload on anyone for any reason they see fit, and now getting indiscriminately beaten and arrested by them is apparently the only defense from the actual military doing worse.
Telling the federal court that IL police can handle Broadview was part of the state's legal strategy against national guard being deployed here.
But it's hard to square that as for the good of protestors or Illinoisans as a whole, when IL police are perfectly willing to drag and beat them anyway.

state police continue to push protesters down 25th street. at one point, cops swarmed a group of people and pushed them to the ground.
