In the grand scheme this is not the most important thing that happened today.

But "protesters eagerly sift through the equipment and papers left behind by the regime's routed elite security forces" historically happens at a much later stage of regime collapse than this.

The Posting Divide on here is really stark right now there's maybe a quarter of the people I follow doing normal discourse stuff and then the other 3/4ths are posting like "IF YOU SEE THE GREEN GAS START RUNNING"

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

ICE agents only do this because they are extremely well-trained and experienced with the situations they are creating
ICE agents fled from the crowd and left behind their CONOPS battle plan for Minneapolis, including agent's names, hotel rooms, phone numbers, boxes of license plates, and tac radio frequencies.

Incredible
I am introducing the Quick Recognition (QR) Act, which requires ICE and CBP officers to wear uniforms featuring QR codes. When scanned, the code would generate a digital ID displaying the officer’s name, badge number, and law enforcement agency.

ICE should be unmasked both physically and digitally.

The war against the states by federal forces is expanding at light speed now.

The federal government is at war against the free citizens and states of the union.
BREAKING: Donald Trump says his administration is halting all "payments to sanctuary cities or states having sanctuary cities."

That would mean hurting millions of Americans by illegally stopping the flow of billions of federal dollars.

As the Trump administration escalates its immigration crackdown in Minneapolis, arrests and aggressive tactics by ICE and the Border Patrol, many seen on viral videos, have intensified the frustration and fear among residents, business owners and immigrant workers. trib.al/zVm2mk5

The fascists are waging a terror campaign against the city and we the citizens are far from scared people are becoming fearless. They are helping to build the bravery needed for the next acceleration they push for.
Dozens of ICE agents stood around 34th and Portland — inches away from where Renée Good was murdered — doing absolutely nothing but wait for the crowd to get more and more agitated.

After 15 minutes pacing back and forth they set off a bunch of flashbangs and irritants and left.

The Trump administration is psychologically incapable of backing down, which means that I would give it even odds that they attempt this.

The biggest obstacle would be that it will be very hard to find a grand jury in Minneapolis to approve it.
This is appalling: Top DOJ officials are actively pushing for a criminal investigation into the widow of Renee Good, leading prosecutors to quit en masse, NYT is reporting.

Who in the White House ordered DOJ to do this? That's the next thing to establish.

This sucks because this eventual ruling (we all know how this one's going to be decided by the far-right SCOTUS) is going to affect so, so, so much more than sports.
Starting a new thread for West Virginia v. BPJ because BlueSky is starting to time me out of the other one.

West Virginia bans trans athletes as well but this time it's been challenged by a minor.

Michael Williams, Solicitor General for West Virginia, is arguing on behalf of bigotry.
