Having seen bystander footage, it is clear to me the ICE agent involved in the Minneapolis shooting needs to be charged with murder.
ICE is a thinly-veiled jobs program for thugs. It must be abolished. ICE has no place in Minneapolis, in Chicago, or anywhere else.

There is video of the shooting of a woman by ICE in Minneapolis circulating that shows an ICE agent repeatedly shooting her at point blank range while she tries to drive off. There was no obvious threat to any ICE agent.

In Evanston: a last-minute protest against ICE, called just a couple hours ago, draws dozens of people to Oakton Street near where two people were abducted in front of a Home Depot yesterday. I need to run to cover City Council, but more people are still arriving.

Current situation with COVID19 vaccines at CVS.
ACIP is meeting September 18-19 so it will likely become available at pharmacies w/o a prescription then, unless ACIP pulls the rug out.
Prescription requirement related to state laws requiring ACIP approval for pharmacist administration.

It’s wild, absolutely wild, how for EVERY. SINGLE. CITY. Trump wants to militarize I can post data showing how crime is plummeting in all of them without any federal invasion…
… and the press KEEPS stenographing the naked bad-faith claims about “fighting crime!” in the headlines.
Infuriating.

Giant YTD drops in Chicago for basically all crimes.
Huge 4-reductions in Chicago for all violence. Murders are down FIFTY PERCENT.
Property crimes are dropping, tho still higher than before. But MRAPs don’t stop theft.
This is all pretext. Yet the WaPo subhed frames it as a “crime” issue.

I actually agree that Democrats should refrain from using most of these. And they already do! When was the last time a Senator said 'heteronormative'?
The bigger problem is that orgs like Third Way are reinforcing this false, right-wing narrative. Dems can't stop doing something they're not doing!

the thing everyone is going to have to accept is that the post-trump period, whenever it comes, will not and cannot be a project of national unity, it must be a project of partisan project of renewal, in the same way that reconstruction and the new deal were partisan projects of renewal.

the high point of my being denounced as a neoliberal shill on tiktok is when i insisted that gentrification is downstream of housing supply constraints, and isn’t a quality inherently possessed by people you don’t like
maybe I’ll get pilloried for like “not getting the joke” or whatever, but this is absolutely how, like, a comfortable percentage of Cool People think the dynamics of housing costs work and it fucking sucks

i think this argument resonates with liberal moderates because the left’s rhetoric irritates them personally. But the idea that it’s responsible for ~10 point swings in public opinion is completely detached from the evidence.

– Trump’s handling of deportations in general: 39-50 (30-54 among indies)

Of all the awful stuff in this reprehensible bill, the fact that your children stop being considered dependents at SEVEN may be the most horrifying detail.
The Ag Committee's part of the Reconciliation Bill raises the SNAP work requirement age for able-bodied adults without dependents from 54 to 64. It also changes the definition of "dependent child" from under 18 years to under 7 years old to determine "Able-bodied adult without dependents."
