Walz: "We have got children in Minnesota hiding in their houses, afraid to go outside. Many of us grew up reading that story of Anne Frank. Somebody is gonna write that children's story about Minnesota."
NEWS: US private employers shed 32,000 jobs in November, according to the latest ADP report. That’s 4 months of job losses in the past 6 months. Small businesses are being hit hardest in the Trump economy. Most industries are seeing layoffs.
Yes, one officer stepped down, but other officers are presumably obeying the very same orders that this one officer refused to carry out. So, they're not functioning after all, are they?
". . . defenses against unlawful orders are not theoretical. They exist. They function."
This last sentence remains to be determined. So many other institutions have failed us. It would be foolish to assume this one will hold up.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.
certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.
The thing that stands out for me in this piece is the emphasis on chaos. Trump isn't imposing order, he's fueling chaos. We don't have tools capable of restraining the chaos and restoring order.
"And yet Táíwò’s own position misses something fundamental about the world we now inhabit. Shame does not operate in a vacuum...today, the sturdy ground that once formed shame’s foundation has collapsed."

Does this disprove the old saw that prosecutors could get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich?
We’re in the phase where Americans, press included, should be considering all news originating with the government as propaganda first. Its institutional tendency is to evade good-faith dialogue with the public.
This is more like it. These dangerous times call for aggressive responses.
This is straight up horrifying. Absolutely unconscionable, not to mention unlawful. The administration should be sent to the Hague for crimes against humanity.
Pure evil to torment innocent people like this for no damn reason.
WTF?!? Border Czar Tom Homan claimed that ICE and Border Patrol agents don’t need probable cause to detain people they suspect are undocumented, saying they can do so based on factors like physical appearance. This is straight-up racial profiling, not law enforcement.
I'm old enough to remember when the conservatives fought against registering guns because it would create a federal database of law-abiding Americans.
I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
That's nearly 4% of the American people who will lose their health insurance.
Listen to @warren.senate.gov!
If you want to keep your healthcare, #KillTheBill! 🚫
Speaking quite frankly, this is a man admitting his only real policy is to obliterate immigrant populations even if that destroys living conditions across the US. Fun!
More fake ICE agents doing horrible things.
Everyone should be speaking up about this. Masks and no ID required is a ridiculous recipe for horrors. @MarshaBlackburn & @SenJohnson & Sexton should be banning it, not protecting it.
Leave Stringer Bell out of this. Stringer is so much cooler than Bove.
"…Between 2015 and 2020"
This is a GAO report, so it took time to compile, so it doesn't go up to the present day. So I guess we'll have to wait awhile to find out how many US citizens ICE deported 2020-2024, or this year alone.
Post-Trump, going "back to normal" with ICE won't solve the problem
If you commit an act of war against a country, you can be reasonably certain that the country you committed that act against will consider itself to be at war with you.
