He so totally nailed it. (The people who find a way to be mad about it will by definition be the absolute worst.)

π Looks like the husband of the woman ICE abducted called his lawyer, lawyer called the cops, then the police chief went and got her & took her home
Article says it may be the first time local Minnesota PD "intervened in a federal law enforcement action" since Trump started terrorizing the state
This is exactly right from @barryfriedman1.bsky.social and @stevevladeck.bsky.social . Creating a federal cause of action is a must--but it's the longterm strategy. In the meantime, local police and prosecutors should be building their cases *now*
βFreedom is not free. We have to work at it. Nurture it. Protect it. Even sacrifice for it.β
Abolish ICE is now the moderate minimum position,
Prosecute ICE is where Dems should be at next.
*These* are the people you want to let into homes without a judicial warrant?
I am honestly afraid to ask β¦.
A masked ICE officials with a 5 year old child
This guy went to work today, put a mask on, kidnapped a 5 year old child, and then used him as bait so both he and his father could be sent behind bars
This is irredeemable. My youngest is just a year older than this little boy so this photo is going to stick with me for a while.
Woman holding half-marathon finisher medal
The world is terrible but this morning I ran my first half marathon at 42 years old and Iβm feeling pretty great about that. (Oh and my bib number was 1776 #NoKings)
Canβt wait to hear Kavanaughβs take on why pumping gas while being a person of color gives rise to reasonable suspicion for a stop.
I wrote a bit for McSweeney's about Isaac Chotiner interviewing Santa Claus. Just a little something for the holiday season. Enjoy!

Law Profs teaching First Amendment: I have put together a FREE, recently updated, and easy to use casebook for use in free speech classes. If you are interested in using such a casebook, send me an email or DM and I would be happy to share!
pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you donβt often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
Multiple accounts on ICE Watch Facebook pages are reporting that agents pulled a couple out of their vehicle in Aurora, Illinois, arrested them, and then abandoned the coupleβs toddler in the backseat.
I know itβs too much to expect them to know their history, but if the American Revolution had a motto, it definitely would not have been βimmigrants go home.β
It would have been βget your fucking soldiers out of our cities.β
The energy we need is this suburban dad standing out in the street -- barefoot with Blackhawks pajama pants on -- screaming at the masked goons to get the fuck out of their neighborhood.
Old Soviet joke:
Why do ICE agents travel in groups of three?
One can read, one can write, and the third keeps an eye on the two intellectuals
Never too early to teach kids about democracy. #NoKings
Kavanaugh stop
Nothing says βland of the freeβ like armed agents of the state saying βshow me your papers if you want your daughter backβ bsky.app/profile/nbcb...
Sincerely wondering: what remedies does Justice Kavanaugh believe are and should be available in federal court these days for excessive force violations by federal immigration officials?
This is unconscionable. Our entire profession should be up in arms.
Masked law enforcement and now anonymous lawyers. Our courts are open as is our legal system. If you canβt put your name to your representation as a lawyer then you should not be allowed to appear in court. @americanbar.org
Absolute gut punch.
Well, I guess itβs never too early to post this again β
Christy Lopez and I on why it is completely unacceptable for law enforcement, including ICE, to be masking:

Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium.
ICE says it wasnβt them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? Theyβve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.
Make this go viral.
Tonight, I'll go home and sleep in my bed. I have a lawyer, I'll get due process.
But Edgardo, whose arm was ripped from mine by ICE agents, has none of those things.
That's why I'll keep coming back to court, week after week, to make sure that people's rights are protected.
