This *vocalized* moral clarity is so desperately needed everywhere:
AOC: “I understand that VP Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, & I do not — That is a fundamental difference between VP Vance & I — I do not believe the American people should be assassinated in the street”

Stephen Colbert on the ICE murder of Renee Nicole Good: “The message from this administration is clear. Only they determine the truth. And when their forces come to your city: obey or die. And if you die, you clearly didn’t obey. This should be an alarm bell for the entire country.”

“That’s fine, dude. I’m not mad at you.”

Does this look like a “domestic terrorist”?

@KristiNoem needs to resign.
@JDVance owes her son an apology.

Shame on everyone.

"I am not going to pay masked thugs to shoot moms in the face. Period," Swalwell says.

EVERY DEM NEEDS TO REPEAT THIS
Important: Minneapolis killing should lead Dems to draw a much harder line against *any* ICE funding in budget talks, Swalwell/Goldman agree.

"I am not going to pay masked thugs to shoot moms in the face. Period," Swalwell says.

A Dem House should be for defunding.

They are being told that they are judge, jury and executioner, and should act appropriately. This is what happens when a free society does not arrest, prosecute and convict a traitor.

X is literally making child porn as a service so there really shouldn't be a question to whether or not MPs leave. Bellingcat has.
EXCLUSIVE: Leaked WhatsApp messages show Labour MPs urging govt to leave X, arguing that it should "show direction to others in the UK"

The MPs said X owner Elon Musk is "fascist" and that the platform's AI tool, Grok, had put "children in harm's way"

I think it is probably a bad idea to put clearly unhinged, angry psychopaths in federal law enforcement positions.

Classic Democratic no-win. All of them voted against the OBAA, which supercharged ICE funding and hiring. But they won't say they'd "abolish ICE" so they'll get yelled at (mostly by people who'll vote for them in the midterms after threatening not to).

I have a new piece up @slate.com, on the politics of Minneapolis's DA going after the ICE officer (now ID'd as Jonathan Ross) who killed Renee Good.

She's been aggressive on police shooting in the past, residents are outraged at the killing, and she can charge even without a fed or local arrest.
The FBI Is Obstructing the Minneapolis Probe. The ICE Shooter Should Still Be Very Worried.
Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty can bring charges even without any arrest and is not one to back down from a case like this.
