Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

At this point, even by the strictest Hobbesian standards, this government has abandoned its duty to serve the public, and is illegitimate.

My friends, we are in a serious constitutional crisis. The government is racially profiling, suppessing free speech, killing our own people in the streets— and lying about every fact along the way. If we don’t use our natural talents and voices to say “no,” then what’s the point of law at all?
Thinking about those law professors who have done their part to normalize what we are seeing, either by approvingly amplifying extreme right wing sources (like the Daily Caller, Federalist, Dan McLaughlin), or by writing scholarship about Trumpism like it's a hypo and not reality.

Democrats, retired or in office, who act like only the 7 who voted for the ICE funding bill are to blame need to shut the fuck up. House Dems *didn't whip the vote.* That is a profoundly clear statement of support for ICE. People are being executed in the street and you didn't whip the fucking vote.

People already working hard to prove how perfect Alex Pretti was. To show he didn't "deserve" to be killed. But it's a trap folks. You're only feeding into a dynamic where people who are considered lesser get no protection. You don't have to be an Alex Pretti to deserve to live.

ICE is violently assaulting peaceful protestors & entering homes without warrants. They shot an innocent mom in the head & used a 5-year-old as bait.

I voted against funding, but that’s not enough. Abolish and dismantle ICE. If you support this shit, you are sick in the head.

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.

There it is. He was a lawful gun owner with a permit to carry. They executed a man for exercising his 2nd amendment right.
Minneapolis Police Chief O'Hara: "The video speaks for itself. We have identified this person - 37-year-old, white male, resident of the city. The only interaction that we are aware of with law enforcement has been for traffic tickets and we believe he is a lawfully gun owner with a permit to carry"

Frog and Toad went outside. They tramped through the snow.

“We will ride down this big hill on my sled,” said Frog.

“Not me,” said Toad.

“Do not be afraid,” said Frog. “I will be with you on the sled.”

Even the waters of Lake Minnetonka cannot purify the ICE goons participating in this. Trials. There need to be trials.

This is one of the most insane protests I've ever been to. Tens of thousands of Minnesotans in -20°F (-28°C) cold with absolutely manic energy. We are going to throw these goddamn bastards out of our cities.

I am not being snarky. I need my colleagues who wrote on covid school lockdowns to engage with this. To be as loud as they have been about prior "learning loss." Hell, you can cite Tom & Mark's AERJ paper so you feel better that there's some econ somewhere in your argument.

We *only* watch old school Sesame Street in our house, for this exact reason.

They deliberately cast it to have white cast members in the minority.

The Mr. Hooper actor did time on the McCarthy blacklist.

The racial integration was so in your face, Mississippi stations initially refused to air it
Most of the moral messaging in children's television programming when I was a kid was utterly uncontroversial at the time, and would be attacked as woke indoctrination today.

National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation.

Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

Abolish ICE.
🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!

ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.
