a fan of this energy tbh, and ambitious politicos should be trying to outdo each other here
I first thought "there aren't words" when I first saw this story. but there are
All I see on my Twitter timeline are reporters parsing every quote from AOC in Germany, trying to mock them for incoherence or inaccuracy, while a demented old man who canβt string sentences together or stay awake sits in the Oval, while the legacy media happily sanewashes his quotes.
happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.
Remember the incident where DHS claimed officers shot a guy because he attacked them with a snow shovel?
Yeah. It didn't happen. They shot him through the door of his own home. And then arrested him. And then lied about it. Again.
And they almost shot some kids in the process.

Reporting from the Twin Cities, Robin Kaiser-Schatzlein (@robinks.com) βkept hearing about the lengths to which ICE is going to ensnare people who criticize the agency or obstruct its terror campaign.β

Iβm old and have a lot less at stake than many people. If I get arrested, I wonβt lose my pension. If I get shot, Iβll lose 10-20 years of arthritis getting worse and worse. I have no reason not to rouse a little rabble.
"...we maintain this weird double standard: Soldiers in combat zones must refuse unlawful orders, but civilians facing unlawful force from domestic law enforcement must submit."

Yup
I guess I do think if you participated in the arrest of a five-year-old you are probably just fundamentally incompatible with society. That you are not a safe person for humanity to be around, generally
Screen grabbed text from NYT: βPresident Trump does not seem interested in de-escalating anything in Minneapolis. This week, he said that one justification for the shooting of Renee Good might have been that she had been "disrespectful" to officers. Being disrespectful is a form of speech, though - one protected by the Constitution
I get that covering these things is hard but journalists have to stop falling into this kind of trap
E.g. in this case implying that if something isnβt covered by the constitution the government can execute you on the spot
They're still trying to deport RΓΌmeysa ΓztΓΌrk after she was arrested in the street by plainclothes ICE agents and detained for six weeks for writing a column in her college newspaper that was critical of Israel.
Unarmed woman executed by state may have been on committee to fight against unarmed women being executed by the state
What Duran Duran did, what the Timberwolves did, what Steve Kerr and Doc Rivers said, what the actors who wore pins did, etc etc etc all are signals/signs to the rest of us of what time it is on the clock of fascism.
It's *good* that public people who lots of folks pay attention to wore anti-ICE pins to a swanky event. It has gotten coverage. People who do not closely follow politics might get curious and look for information. And under fascism, making public your ethical stance is important in and of itself.
Itβs actually astonishing to see how the NYT dances around the fact that she was a vile, convicted racist even in the side article about her politics, and meanwhile Le Monde, otherwise a truly bush league paper, has it in the lede.

Solid opportunity for Ezra Klein to redeem himself
can not handle one more profile that describes a wealthy new yorker being βin exileβ in LA as if the mayor had them banished
Hating the liquid glass thing has become my entire personality
The way tech companies constantly do stuff that nobody asked for really tells you a lot about their bigger ideology. They tell themselves that you will like it over time. What they mean is youβll learn to endure it, or youβll give up. quality of UI is not actually anywhere on their radar
I was right about her 10 years ago.
Sincerely, if these fuckers didnβt have such contempt for the humanities they would know this stuff
Haha no if itβs Netflix it will look like a Tide commercial!
Already annoyed about the lighting in the Netflix miniseries this will become

Woof
The best time to abolish ICE would have been in 2021. The next best time is if we win in 2028. At this point, any Democrat unwilling to abolish ICE must be drummed out of the primary.
