Goddamit I should have known it was too good to last. Some senior editor decided to both-sides it after all. Cowards! Charlatans!

The bottomlessly vile Greg Bovino said on CNN that the agents were the "real victims." What they're really telling us by claiming in advance that the agents' conduct was justified is that anyone who sides with immigrants and/or documents ICE atrocities also risks the penalty of death.
They are telling us in unequivocal terms that if you show solidarity with immigrants who are in the literal crosshairs of Trump/MAGA, you're risking a death sentence.

The official policy of the government of the United States of America is that they will murder anyone they want, that they will tell any lie necessary to justify that murder, and that no one who resists them has any rights they are bound to respect.

Agree.

No one outside the US, who has a choice, should be enabling a lawless and lying regime. Which has become a threat to its own people and the entire world.

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

Too obvious a point even to make, perhaps. But there was no “unrest” in Minneapolis before ICE and CBP showed up. ICE and CBP are the cause of the chaos…and the killings.

Get them out of there.

I genuinely think boycotting the World Cup is some of the strongest leverage the Europeans have.

It's not debatable that a mentally disturbed person has the nuclear codes. The Republicans know they're endangering us all by leaving him in office. This is a betrayal of every person on Earth. It is a crime against humanity.

Trump is building a personalist regime where every university must bend the knee or lose funding and every business must bend the knee or face tariffs, H-1B fees, and regulatory blackmail. You can't cover each domain in isolation; they are all the same story.
Awarding scientific grants based on scientific merit? That pales in comparison to my strategy, giving grants based on political loyalty

Just a reminder that while her ex nonstop soils himself in public with tasteless displays of wealth and look-at-me, thirsty nonsense, Mackenzie Scott has given away close to $20 billion to 1,600 charities, no strings attached and without any need for recognition.

An authoritarian bootlicker - the Founders are rolling in their graves. They thought the Congress would defend its prerogatives against a tyrannical executive branch.
House Speaker Mike Johnson calls for the Senate to "censure" Alex Padilla after he was restrained and handcuffed by FBI agents at Kristi Noem's presser, adding that it is "wildly inappropriate behavior."

So it looks like Republicans want to escalate this!

Sen. Chris Murphy calls back to Trump's pardons for Jan. 6 rioters.

"The message [...is that if...] you carry out violence on behalf of the White House -- you're excused. You lodge normal, protected protest against this White House? You are thrown to the ground and handcuffed."

You know when things were pretty quiet and peaceful in L.A.? Before ICE started arresting residents who were bothering no one and going to their jobs. And before DHS and National Guard troops showed up and made the situation worse.

Of course Trump and Stephen Miller want the situation to get worse.

Best read as a reasoned call to action, not a question. And we will need vivid terms for where we are going — oligarchy and fascism — as well as what we are seeking — freedom and equality.
