Looking at the mug shots Bondi posted of folks who allegedly impeded ICE officers... I'm reminded me of some of the iconic 1960s images of 'criminals' from counter sitins and freedom rides

what really bugs me about the "trans people got ahead of public opinion" line is that it ignores *why* public opinion changed. it didn't just come out of nowhere, there was a deliberate push to make trans rights a wedge issue.
Just started doing new data analysis and I know I keep saying this, but: I really, really don't think people appreciate how much this moral panic was a deliberate and extremely expensive invention.

I ran a campaign in this seat years ago. This has always been the bluest corner of white voters in St Paul, but these are Soviet level results. This seat averages ~20% for Republicans. This result is just slightly worse than the ~+14 D swing in special elections this last year.
Minnesota - State House 64A Results:

🔵 Luger-Nikolai: 95.3% (+12.1)
🔴 Walsh: 4.4% (-12.2)

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

This is one of the things that I find is most shocking to people outside Minnesota who don’t realize it yet—the scale at which everyone who isn’t white has been forced into a spectrum of hiding.

Very good article drawing out the Tahrir Square comparison.

"We need Plato more than he needs us"

Bully for UT Austin Classics prof Deborah Beck for speaking up about state officials banning readings from Plato at Texas A&M. I don't know how she and other faculty speaking up can be protected, but they shd continue to do so and we shd continue to try. 1/3
To control thoughts, leaders first control knowledge. We're seeing it in Texas.
Plato and Socrates would have quite a few questions for Texas lawmakers.

Since July, I've tracked at least 2,300 cases in which federal judges have ruled ICE has illegally detained people without bond or due process.

This is one that stands out:

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.

The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.
