Bring back honor. If you are in charge of an organization and send an email detailing this many failures in its strategic vision, you need to resign at the end of it.

Really hard to look at this and all the other examples of bravery and kindness from ordinary people in this moment not think also of the tremendous cowardice exhibited over the past year by some of the richest, most well-protected people in business, media and politics
Let us all have the courage displayed by the residents of Minneapolis.

At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.

On the execution in Minnesota: Obviously, the individuals involved should be held accountable. But responsibility goes to the top of ICE and CBP, and DHS. Their appropriations come up next week in the senate. Not a cent for DHS without pulling ICE and CBP off the streets, in MN and everywhere else.

Here's a photo of Tippy & her family. They live in Brooklyn Park and she's been in the Minnesota Reformer before. And there's artist and children's book illustrator Heather, the sort of person who participates as a host for neighborhood garage theater & performance tours.

This is an incredibly interesting and damning post about all the different ways that ICE is rampaging in the US right now — and how that led to the death of Renee Good. It is, in some ways, a perfect microcosm case study of the piece I wrote this week.... www.lawfaremedia.org/article/befo...
Before and After the Trigger Press That Killed Renee Good
Regardless of whether deadly force was legally justified, Renee Nicole Good’s death was preventable.

This is, in my opinion, not only the correct moral/ethical/legal position but also the correct political framing. Everyone can see the agency is out of control; everyone can see that it is constantly violating human rights. "Scrap it and start over" is the moderate position.
Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

before murdering renee good, the ice goon was frightened for his life, we’re told
It’s meant to justify the murder
nobody telling us this ever seems to wonder whether the woman who was murdered might have been afraid for her life
killing because you’re afraid is only for cops, it seems

If the law of the land fails to protect people, the people have only their inalienable right to self defense to fall back on. That is the true originalist meaning of that pine tree flag that Judge Alito is so fond of.
