There are approximately 3 million undocumented persons in Texas and Florida, and there are about 100,000 in Minnesota. Ask yourself why ICE has been deployed to MN, but not even close to the same way in FL and TX. This isn't about immigration, it is all about politics and retribution.
The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.
weir everywhere, always. #NFA 💀🌹⚡

"Just the other day, I was in the audience at Lincoln Center when Justice Amy Coney Barrett said, while promoting a new book, that she doesn't think the United States is in a constitutional crisis," Farias told us. "Today, the Supreme Court, without offering a single line of reasoning, more or less declared that the Fourth Amendment, which protects everyone from unreasonable searches and seizures, nonetheless allows the Trump Administration to arrest and detain anyone who looks Latino, citizen or not, on account of the language that they speak or the kind of jobs they do. The ruling putatively covers the Los Angeles area, but the effect could be national," he continued. "If that's not a constitutional crisis, then what is?"
The New Yorker asked me “how bad” today’s Supreme Court ruling was. I boiled it down to one paragraph:

Finally a real headline from the NYT
Another Star
“…I am infuriated that the Air Force plans to grant military funeral honors to Ashli Babbitt. She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it.”
My latest in @thebulwark.com

"Ashli Babbitt was a grown ass adult who made a series of conscious, ill-advised decisions to engage in treasonous behavior, and she got exactly what she deserved. She was a traitor. She was a threat to national security. There is no nuance needed here."

Like every turning point in the ongoing Trump humiliation of GOP leaders, no Republican has stood to defend American dignity and Decency.
Two monsters: Vladimir Putin and Ghislaine Maxwell, embraced by the Republican Party.
Putin and Maxwell: Welcome to the GOP

Because it was all a lie.
I'll say it a thousand times -- any account of the past that only celebrates the good parts of a nation without reckoning with the bad is not what we call "history"
It is propaganda, pure and simple.

Republicans sure are pulling out all the stops to wield the government against Texas Democrats. Warrants, FBI, court processes. Not a second wasted. Goes to show that if they *wanted* to bring Epstein's clients to justice, they could. They just don't want to.
NEWS: Annie Farmer, an Epstein survivor who testified against Ghislaine Maxwell, just revealed on CNN that she wrote a letter with her concerns to Deputy AG Blanche — and received no response.
She says neither she nor other survivors have heard a word from the DOJ.
52 years ago today, Stevie Wonder released Innervisions—a soul-funk masterpiece packed with genius, groove, and grit. From “Higher Ground” to “Living for the City,” it still hits like prophecy set to a clavinet.
How low can they go? We know the answer: Even lower. Always. There is no bottom to the rot.
MAGA went from wanting the death penalty for child rapists to being apologists for sending them to do their time in a minimum security club fed.
All for their hero. Maxwell can hurt Trump, so she gets what she wants. And none of them will say a word about it.
“Both of them.”
Wow
Imagine. If. Biden. Had. Done. This.
MAGA world - and the Bonginos and Patels - would have LOST THEIR MINDS.
Erasing history. Another characteristic of autocrats and dictators.
“She wasn’t stolen. She was preyed upon”
She was 16 years old.
We are very far over the cliff here folks
Virginia Giuffre’s brother: I think we were shocked by it—especially the use of the term “stolen.” Because she’s not an object. She’s a person. Someone who was recruited at Mar-a-Lago—his property… it just kind of makes us wonder… how much he knew
