I’m hearing people freak about a military deployment to Minneapolis but it doesn’t change much. It’s scarier but the same. We still outnumber them 100 to 1. They have more guns than us either way. They can shoot us either way. They’ll probably be easier to find and follow if they’re in a tank.

One of the things about people showing up to protest for the first time, that many, many armchair theorists don't grasp, is the effect of seeing what happens with your own eyes, then seeing how media covers it, and what is said ABOUT YOU by media and political personalities/office holders.

Really too perfect that Dokoupil's smug lecture at the end of this broadcast about trusting audiences to hear the news and decide for themselves was delivered *in the very act* of choosing to cover up a newsworthy legal threat made by the president about the interview the audience had just watched.

I wonder how long it will take the media to catch on to the fact that ICE’s recruiting spree has effectively deputized every white supremacist hate group out there.

DHS brags about all the illegal immigrants it has apprehended in Minnesota. A study of the list shows that nearly all of them were apprehended by local Minnesota law enforcement, not ICE or CBP, and were sitting in jails in Minnesota before ICE began its current operations. DHS lies are relentless.

Keep hearing people say protests against first Trump administration were ineffective. Evidence suggests otherwise.

The Minnesota Star Tribune has reporters write about the ICE crackdown in Minnesota, then emails the next day’s layouts to Des Moines, Iowa, to be printed, then trucks the printed papers back to Minnesota for delivery, then can’t get the newspapers delivered because of the ICE crackdown in Minnesota

the only good thing about this part of the horrible shooting story is that it may turn out to be a gut shot for the carcass of @cbsnews.com and that's great. and unlike the ICE goon CBS has real internal bleeding.

Positively shocked that the house magazine of the Manhattan Institute is upset that my book refuses to attribute America's record-high homelessness to "personal choices"—rather than, say, rents outpacing income gains by 325 percent since 1985.

I genuinely don't understood how America took the emoluments clause -- the common-sense bar on a president using his powers to line his own pockets, a law children can understand -- and just said, nah, that doesn't apply for our Very Special Boy.
