This posted late so if you read it you will automatically be granted one (1) wish that is guaranteed to come true.

It’s about Pam Bondi’s Minnesota ransom note and how Trump perverted the already perverted GOP claims about “voter fraud.”

A reminder that ICE hasn’t slowed down in Minneapolis at all.

Outside of Minnesota, it might feel like everything has changed since Alex Pretti’s murder. But ICE hasn’t actually lost any power and they’re continuing to terrorize our communities.

Look, if you had a party scheduled at your house, and the pipes broke and the floor was covered in raw sewage, you’d tell your friends not to come over.

In that spirit: world, skip the World Cup until we get this sewage worked out. And don’t be too sure about the Olympics.

Greg Bovino sadly filling one steamer trunk after another with elaborate fashy overcoats, the teargas canisters he always has bouncing around on him like labubus, and dozens of "chest-belts." They will be shipped ahead of him as he prepares to return to his home, which is a men's size 10 boot.

It doesn't matter what the Constitution says. If the government can execute you on the street or in your own home on a whim, you have no rights. None.

Taking a break for the exciting snow shovel coverage to check in with the dog.

How does she feel about all this snow?

She's a big fan obviously. Can't get enough of the stuff.

This piece by @jonrauch.bsky.social is very much worth reading. (Yes, I know, even if your reaction to the title is, "Gee, you don't say!") He lays out the case more carefully, clearly, and systematically than I have seen elsewhere.

CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today.

This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

From this moment forward (and before, but clearly now):

-If you work for ICE.
-If you vote for money for ICE.

You are complicit. This is the gestapo. You're on the wrong side. You can't pretend not to know.

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

Ok, so, this is disgusting, but what fascinates me is how carefully the #BBC protects the identities of the perpetrators.

Also cool how #RayBan slipped right into the #Meta creeping-on-women game.
