Went out to a Mexican restaurant last night in West St Paul and ate a taco the size of my head. They had an entire side room where people were packing and delivering grocery boxes, and by the door they had votives lit for Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Parker is right, of course. What's extra weird to me is that so many journos have no problem posting shit that makes them look stone stupid. Like you can't say you're plugged in or that readers should trust you if you're actively showing the world you have the mental capacity of a bowl of soup
"They told us what they were going to do. They published it. They put it on a website. And when it happened, the press was surprised."
Hoo boy, everyone should bookmark this @parkermolloy.com piece & make sure everyone involved in media reads it.

Political journalists need to stop pretending they don't know what Republicans are going to do.

This is accurate. Trump has not changed course. He is trying to contain political damage. That's it. There is not pivot. There is no shift at this point. Past experience shows the "new tone," if you can call it that, will be temporary.

If you don't drag Stephen Miller relentlessly and demand answers before Congress, step aside so another elected official with the guts to do what is needed can take your place.
At a minimum, every Dem talking head should be demonizing him daily.

I've been representing protesters pro bono since Trump 1.0. In that time, I've represented protesters against the Muslim ban, ICE, trans bans, DEI bans, genocide in Occupied Palestine, police brutality, and more.
Want to know why more people don't protest? Here's why.

A lot of Dems are going to take Bovino and Noem being fired as the finish line, and it's very important to make it clear to them that it is a starting line

"Restrain, reform and restrict ICE" is the most typical, loser-ass shit aimed at the imaginary centrist voter.
Schumer has to go before he does more damage.
Schumer has to go before he does more damage.
Majority of the country now wants to abolish and/or dismantle ICE and yet Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. told the caucus the message had to be to “restrain, reform and restrict ICE.”
Once again it looks like Schumer is about to choke after getting a massive opportunity.
So pathetic and weak.

Bovino was doing exactly what Stephen Miller told him to. This is wildly insufficient.

So keep pushing. Anything short of ICE’s abolition isn’t nearly enough.
And I’d say that even ICE’s abolition should only be the start of ending the violence that came to feel “normal” under Trump.

The problem with symbolic compliance isn’t just that they fall short of ending violence.
It’s also that people duped by the symbols will switch sides to defend the oppressor, emboldening them to become more violent and violate more civil rights than before.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

if ICE puts me in a card deck I will pay any amount of money for that card deck, and I will frame it on my wall
The GWOT-brain of it all is incredible too. They’re gonna make a deck of cards with your face on it, along with various wine-mom Lieutenants and the mysterious leader of the whole insurgency, a woman known only as Evelyn Normielib.
