Minnesota Proved MAGA Wrong The pushback against ICE exposed a series of mistaken assumptions.

They are trying to expand the prerogative state. If this is allowed to stand, an ICE officer can sign a warrant and walk into any house, whether the person is there or not. There will be no check provided by a judge. It will eviscerate the Fourth Amendment for ICE.

He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.

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.

ICE didn’t just murder a U.S. citizen. They murdered a PERSON, whose citizenship shouldn’t matter. No one deserves to die like this.

I keep saying this but no one is connecting the dots. The war is to satisfy legal preconditions for mass removal *domestically* of Latinos (i.e., suddenly a lot of people are going to be β€œVenezuelan” for purposes of removal). This is 100% Stephen Miller…oil claim is to make grandpa go along

I’m not trying to be judgmental, but I feel that the people who now say they regret voting for Trump should have had a decent idea what he was all about before Nov 2024.

Donald Trump is a dinosaur. And his cultists are part of a dying breed. Yes, they are having their moment in power. But the world is changing and their white supremacy vision will not endure.

Brian Schatz: "This is not about money. There is enough money to bail out Argentina with $20b. There is enough money to purchase a brand new aircraft for $173m for Noem. There is enough money to renovate the WH ballroom. What there isn't enough money for under this Republican government is you."

They can’t turn America into a white nation. There have been generations of non-white immigrants who have come to the United States and made U.S. a diverse and wonderful place. They are playing a losing game. They may win this battle but they have already lost the war.

In light of today’s SCOTUS decision, every person of color with an accent in the US should probably carry proof of citizenship with them at all times - while working and everywhere they go. If you don’t want to be in a detention facility awaiting a friend or relative to bring it.

SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in a college applicant's file is blatantly unconstitutional

ALSO SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in targeting whom to detain and deport is cool cool cool

That Pritzker press conference was... surreal, and I think marks a significant moment of escalation in the constitutional omni-crisis. This was the governor of a state saying plainly the Union itself is being torn apart and his state is being militarily invaded by an authoritarian regime.

We are in very dark times. It’ll take an entire political/social movement, an overwhelming rebuke at the polls, and a new vision of governance to unstick this country from whatever this collapse is.

Serve your country! Defend your culture!

Serve your country! Defend your culture!

Just in case it’s not already clear that ICE is a white supremacist thug army, Homeland Security is recruiting with a β€œdefend your culture” slogan.

I graduated from high school in 1999 and if someone asked me to remember basically any individual event, I would be hard-pressed to do so, especially at the level of detail Dion seems to recall it.

Even if he has good intentions, he may have accidentally created a false memory. I notice in the episode, for instance, that Rabia raises whether he said anything about Ramadan and he says "oh yeah, he did." Is that a real memory, or one that was suggested by Rabia?

I am trying to think about what Adnan's detractors will say, and I have a couple of questions. First, why did Dion reach out after 25 years? It seems a little strange. And did Dion remember the details about the day independently, or did Rabia read him the note first?

We’ve made Venezuela look like a beacon for human rights. Shameful.

This is ethnic cleansing, pure and simple. Is anyone going to stop it?
