If calling a state secret police agent a murderer for committing murder will lead to more murder by the state secret police, it sure seems like the problem is with the secret police
Homan: "We gotta stop the hateful rhetoric. Saying this officer is a murderer is dangerous. It's just ridiculous. It's gonna infuriate people more which means there's gonna be more incidents like this."

“Reframe the narrative to fit their unconstitutionality”
The message from the White House this morning is that, once again, it falls on ordinary American citizens to remain calm and professional when dealing with the heavily armed agents of the government because they are very emotional and might fly off into a murderous rage at the slightest insult.

MICHIGAN — SHERIFF SWANSON (a candidate for governor): “A tragic but predictable event. I saw the same video you saw. When you have masked federal agents with no markings on the vehicle… This is what breaks down the trust of law enforcement across the board.”

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.
I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

When Renee Good said "I'm not mad at you" what the ICE goon heard was "I'm not scared of you."
That's what enraged him. The populace wasn't fully terrorized and cowed into submission yet, so he acted to make that happen.

Fascism is here.
Whether or not we stand up to and eradicate it is the only question left.
NO ONE is coming to save us...not Congress, not the courts, not law enforcement, not the military.
IF, and it's a substantial IF, we get out of this, it will be because of us.

So a CBS Evening News reporter actually did a pretty solid breakdown of the ICE murder video, talking to a former agent who details all the ways Ross messed up. And yet: It didn’t air on the actual show tonight. CBS did post it to YouTube—and it has nearly 800k views already youtu.be/6ywLEESFDu0?...

Ugh. I detest SCOTUS Theater.
“We won’t tell you in advance what we’re releasing. We will call you in, make you wait a bated breath, and then slowly tease our sagacious answers out to you.”
Nothing stops SCOTUS from sending an email the night before saying “we are releasing X, Y, and Z tomorrow.”

After reading a summary of the opinion, Justice Sonia Sotomayor said to the courtroom, which contained SG John Sauer and his deputies: "Seeing who's here, it's not the case you thought."

This is what Dem leaders need to understand. The murder yesterday and the shootings today in Portland are the result of POLICY. This is exactly what they intend. If you collaborate with the GOP in any way, blood is on your hands too.
