Minnesota has quickly rejected Pam Bondi's request for the state's voter rolls:
"The answer to AG Bondi's request is no. Her letter is an outrageous attempt to coerce Minnesota into giving the federal government private data on millions of U.S. Citizens in violation of state and federal law."

Two weeks ago this guy announced he was providing legal help to the agent who shot Renee Good. That's how quickly the winds are shifting.
pretty wild statement re: Republican Chris Madel drop from race for MN governor:
"Saying he cannot support the national GOP's 'stated retribution on citizens of our state, nor can I count myself a member of a party that would do so."

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

What does that matter when the people in charge of the agency are hyping them up and telling them to do violence and that they are inherently immune if they do?

We should not fund DHS without serious reform. We could return CBP to border. We could require warrants for immigration arrests. We could beef up training and require identification.
The list of possible reforms is long. What's unacceptable is the current lawless status quo.

I'm not asking for reform because arguing on paper about what ICE has to do is not the fucking point, because--and this is important--they are not following the fucking paper.
I said "abolish" and I did not stutter, because if fascists goons can take over every four years, there is no paper reform.
