This extraordinary photo captures federal immigration agents immobilizing a protester on the ground and spraying chemical irritant into his face. It runs on the front page of tonight's Minneapolis @startribune.com. It reminds me of the brutality used against civil rights protesters in the 1960s.

The deputy AG says there will be no investigation of the agent who shot Renee Good.
Agents "have to protect themselves." "We don't just go out and investigate every time an officer is forced to defend himself against somebody [who's] putting his life in danger. ... So no, we are not investigating."

This review of videos of the ICE killing of a US citizen in Minnesota suggest that the victim was simply trying to leave and did not endanger anyone. ICE refused to allow people to provide medical aid to the dying woman. And then the administration lied about it. www.nytimes.com/video/us/100...

Hi Bluesky👋 We are new here. Anyone want to talk about how climate change isn't the biggest threat to our country and that it's actually losing the AI arms race to China?

Political violence disproportionately hurts people with less power, not people with more power. Political violence will disproportionately hurt people of color and women and LGBTQ people. It’s not fair, but that’s the way it works. Celebrating political violence means at best indifference to that.
Political violence is bad. It usually begets more political violence.
Celebrating political violence is bad. It usually encourages more political violence, against various targets.
Campus shootings are bad. They make everyone on campus less safe.
It's bad that what I wrote here is controversial.
