This sort of thing is why I often think Theweleit’s “Male Fantasies” was the most important book I read in grad school
Former New Mexico Attorney General Balderas details how the FBI forcefully shut down New Mexico's criminal probe into what was up at Epstein's Zorro Ranch in Santa Fe Co. The feds insisted that they were running their own criminal probe and that NM's involvement would not be tolerated. It was a lie.

This story about David Brooks is one of the most brutal takedowns I’ve ever read.
By the late Tony Judt
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

I need everyone to see the video that radicalized me. The video I talked about in the Atlantic interview.
One of those latecomers was a 46-year-old documentary filmmaker named Chad Knutson. On the morning after Good was killed, he was at home with his two hound dogs, watching a live feed from the Whipple Building, where ICE is based, a five-minute drive from his house. A protester had laid a rose on a makeshift memorial to Good. As Knutson watched, an ICE agent took the rose, put it in his lapel, and then mockingly gave it to a female ICE agent. They both laughed. Knutson told me he had never been a protester. It seemed pointless, or just a way for people to expiate their sense of guilt. But when he saw those ICE agents laughing, something broke inside him. “I grab my keys, I grab a coat, and drive over,” Knutson told me. “I barely park my car and I’m running out screaming and crying, ‘You stole a fucking flower from a dead woman. Like, are any of you human anymore?’”
Knutson now goes to the Whipple Building almost daily, bringing thermoses of hot coffee for the people who hold up signs and bellow at the ICE agents and convoys as they drive in and out. He has been tear-gassed so many times, he said, his voice has gone hoarse. When I met him at his house in St. Paul, a row of megaphones was on the counter. He hands them out along with the coffee. He once brought an ice-fishing clam, a portable shelter, to the Whipple to help the protesters withstand the subzero temperatures.
pretty incredible story in here about how you can go from sitting on your couch to radicalized and in the streets in record time:

I have spent my entire adult life being lectured by Republican politicians and conservative legal movement types about how important it is to preserve the sacred constitutional right to self-defense of *specifically this person* and then secret police murdered him in the street
Why are they sending witnesses to Whipple?
WHY ARE THEY SENDING WITNESSES TO WHIPPLE?

Here’s the report from KARE. The boy is five-year-old Liam Ramos.
Minnesota: "School officials say the [5-year-old] child was used as bait. They say [ICE] agents made little Liam knock on the door to ask to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home."
if i were someone regularly appearing on ESPN from a home setup, i would:
1) commission good fakes of the art stolen from the Gardner museum in 1990
2) exclusively decorate my backdrop with those fakes
3) wait until the internet noticed this
4) never offer public comment

Everybody should watch this and see this woman, who has a baby in her arms and is thrust into basically a standoff, develop courage in real time.
