The people of Minneapolis have shown that a better world is possible, and I'm very grateful to them

Oh okay. Looks like it's time to protest like that in every city these motherfuckers try this shit in, then. Show them no peace, and they pussy out
BREAKING Greg Bovino has been removed as Border Patrol "commander at large" and will return to El Centro Calif, where he is expected to retire soon. A stunning turnaround after Pretti killing. Bovino's traveling blue city crackdown is over www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Just want to note that this is the fruit of women being polarized to the left. Everyone thought it didn't matter compared to men being polarized to the right, but look, it matters a whole fuckin lot apparently

“Minnesota Vikings radio broadcaster taking leave of absence after mocking ICE protestors.”

“On Monday, Paul Allen apologized for what he called a ‘cheap one-liner’ in which he called protestors ‘paid’ and wondered aloud if they would get ‘hazard pay’ to be out in inclement weather.”

It’s easier for them to believe — or just to argue; whether they ‘believe’ is immaterial — that Aunt Barb is a disciple of Abu Mus’ab al-Suri than it is to accept that their death-squad tactics have inspired mass resistance of everyday people. These same delusions also occurred in Iraq & Afghanistan
MAGA military geniuses are talking about Minnesota protestors like they are the Iraqi insurgency, the Taliban, and the Viet Cong all rolled into one.

Imagine where things would be if an individual anywhere in this nation, but especially in LA, Chicago, or Minneapolis during the surges, had broken discipline & shot a federal agent. I can guarantee you we wouldn't be watching an administration in full retreat from an angry public.

"All Border Patrol" does not equal "all ICE agents" btw (not arguing with OP just explaining)

this strikes me because this is such a dumb moderate guy, and it even shines in the statement itself, and nonetheless the moral rage is resonant with him because he still has a fucking soul. This is why we will win

You came up with ominous sounding terms to make normal social bonds sound like criminal behavior in order to justify murdering people in the street in Vietnam and Afghanistan and Iraq and now you're so cooked that you can't even recognize community

one of the reasons everybody hates late arrivals from the right or even the center is they're all weepy little idiots who want to be coddled and forgiven and make it everybody else's problem. shut up, figure out how to help fix what you broke, and stop writing thinkpieces

the pitch for Trump was "this insult comic rapist is a piece of shit but at least we're getting rid of the smirking pieties and pretexts" and JD Vance is like "did someone say smirking pieties and pretexts"
Trump is such a transparent asshole but there’s something so evil about how JD Vance hides incredibly callous politics behind that nauseating “well now good sir” faux civility.

There's something very video game brained about this. Like they can't imagine that the opposition is capable of doing organizing that doesn't neatly conform to a pre-written narrative designed to ultimately let them win.
The rest of it is even funnier

Here's something neat:

You don't have to be a parent to care about children.

You don't have to be an immigrant (or the child of immigrants or in a relationship with an immigrant) to care about immigrants (or, as I like to call them, "people").

The biggest challenge to Minnesota's effort to halt "Operation Metro Surge" is a law passed during the Clinton administration which strips jurisdiction from federal judges to "enjoin or restrain the operation" of laws relating to immigration arrests, detention, and removal.
Judge Menendez notes that the proceedings will delve into the legal questions more than the evidentiary record.

A big part of the story here is that women like Renee Good are braver and stronger than they could have ever imagined and that just doesn't fit with what MAGA men tell themselves about how gender works. It just does not compute.

I haven't heard a single person, even people who agree with Rahm Emanuel, say that he should run for president. So transparent and disgusting how the media launders candidates they personally like.
Rahm Emanuel's “combination of policy talk, moral reflection and candid critiques of recent Democratic fixations is distinctive, and there’s impressive political savvy in what he foregrounds and how he frames it,” argues Frank Bruni.

If she divorces the ogre and denounces him and Netanyahu I think she should get a redemption arc. I think she could be not evil.

this is a fake problem. no one is saying this to regular, offline people who are coming around. they’re saying it to people who are engaged in professional political analysis who committed professional malpractice by scolding people who saw what was coming.

no, those people shouldn’t get a break.
Bluesky idea: if people who didn't agree with you change their opinions so that they do agree with you, why not be happy that you are making progress - rather than complaining that they are "only just catching up"?
