Comics retailing legend Greg Ketter standing up to ICE in Minneapolis. Yes, that's tear gas. He's 70 years old.

Saying there must be trials isn't just an emotive aspiration.

Congress can:
- Create a new court (complying w/ 6A jury vicinage)
- Give it jurisdiction over defined category of crimes
- Also create dedicated prosecutors for the same
- Strip SCOTUS of appellate jurisdiction

It can be done.

Left hand on the ground trying not to hit the pavement; right hand still holding a cell phone. ICE person standing with a one handed grip pointing his gun right at the man’s head.

There is nothing about this that we should accept. We all must reject this. This is our government, & they want this

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

I need people who don’t live in the Twin Cities to stop telling people not to join massive Signal groups right now. People are doing it. They’re going to keep doing it. Give them good advice about it.

The actually practical advice is don’t say anything to 1000 strangers you wouldn’t say in public

This moment in history provides us with incontrovertible evidence that all the conservatives who claim to be extremely devoted to freedom of speech and the right to bear arms, and opposed to the encroachment of tyranny, are completely and totally full of shit.

It's all white supremacy and greed.

I can't put into words the feeling of watching our government, a hive of evil antisocial filth, the absolute worst humanity has to offer, colliding with the best. Ordinary people trying to help each other, risking everything to stand up for what's plainly, unambiguously fair and right. It's unreal

Slow down. Slow down. Slow down. De-escalate like the professionals you keep bragging that you are. But you don’t want to slow down. This is going to get much worse. And our current government not only wants it to get worse, they need it to.

Citizen videos again showing our government is lying. This is not a dangerous person intent on ambushing police. I know guns are dangerous, Jesus Christ I know that. But guns in holsters aren’t. And you can’t push for universal carry & then claim that carrying a gun warrants this

I remain absolutely furious that all this shit in Minneapolis started because a barely-literate homeschooled mormon made a video trying to run up in daycare centers trying to find people of Somalian descent doing fraud despite the ringleader (a white woman) being in jail since March. Demonic.

We must make sure that every once and former ICE agent lives in fear for the rest of their lives. May it never be over for them.

Visiting a genuinely advanced country really shows how far behind the US is in so many ways.

And while I used to turn my nose up at Singapore’s ultra-competent benign authoritarianism, compared to our wholly incompetent and malignant authoritarianism, it’s pretty nice.

/2 And every time a “free speech culture” type tells you to make free speech alliances with Trumpists and the Right because you shouldn’t focus on hypocrisy, remember they are vapid useful idiots who will shrug you right into an internment camp.

RTO is anti-worker bullshit everywhere. But god, especially when a company has a distributed workforce across multiple offices, and it goes triple if they have offshore contractors.

The world changed, *work* changed, and RTO demonstrates regressive, cowardly, myopic leadership.
