I say again, this does not even approach a scintilla of the accountability that is required. These are PR moves.

The Department of Homeland Security said that federal agents have arrested more than 200 people in Maine over the last week as part of the Trump administration’s ongoing immigration operation.
Maine ICE operation leads to more than 200 arrests in five days, and some are ‘worst of worst,’ DHS says - The Boston Globe
Advocates protesting the operation said that many of those targeted have no criminal histories at all.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Amazon Web Services hosts massive surveillance systems for both ICE and DHS.
Citizens Bank provides nearly $1 trillion in credit & bonds to private prison companies.
AT&T has a $147 million contract to provide communications services to DHS.
Know who is profiting from ICE’s cruelty.

ICE is leaving Vietnam-style death cards in the wake of their kidnappings because they are the saddest, most embarrassing military wannabes to ever live

“Please get the truth out about our son.”
Alex Pretti, a VA ICU nurse, was killed by ICE while trying to protect a woman being assaulted.
Trump calls him a “monster” and “domestic terrorist.”
Trust your own eyes. Unlike Trump, the video doesn’t lie.

A completely insane take.
Also, guess what gun ICE issues to it's officers? That's right, the same Sig P320 Pretti was carrying.

I think one of the wildly disorienting parts of this is that when you try to "look for the helpers," you end up looking at the guy they shot.

Nobody should listen to me particularly, but I do think it’s true both that even people who are assholes shouldn’t be murdered by state actors, and that it’s good politics to point out when state actors murder someone who is, by all accounts, an amazing guy

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.

Saying there must be trials isn't just an emotive aspiration.
Congress can:
- Create a new court (complying w/ 6A jury vicinage)
- Give it jurisdiction over defined category of crimes
- Also create dedicated prosecutors for the same
- Strip SCOTUS of appellate jurisdiction
It can be done.

Pro tip: If you are attending a rally or action, wear a N95 mask & bring extras to give to others.
High quality masks can serve triple-duty: they prevent you and others from getting sick from airborne viruses, they keep your face warm in the freezing cold, & they can protect against surveillance.

Really can't stand the self-abasement of takes posing as the reasonable middle by conceding it'd be a sensible policy to purchase / annex Greenland so long as it wasn't by force, as if any of the nonsense reasons are compelling. Stop it. There is no reasonable version, that would still be idiotic.
