Bullshit. These are basic cop rules they should have been following anyway. People are outraged because those rules, those constitutional rules, were ignored and innocent people were murdered in their own streets. The response is justice, not this weak shit.
Dems coalescing around 5 restrictions on ICE, I'm told:
DHS required to cooperate with state probes (big)
CBP stays at border
warrants for arrests
IDs, bodycams
ICE out of churches, schools
"That package unites a lot of Dems," Sen Chris Murphy tells me on the pod:

really? really? you're cool with "if you don't follow directions, they get to kill you"? that seems like a good state of affairs to you? that seems like how law enforcement ought to work: instant obeisance or death?

Gretchen got suspended, so we have to extra spread the word about Black Flame's release. I had the chance to read it a few months back and it's such a brutal hard look at cultural trauma, assimilation, self hatred, revenge, and the messiness of history. It will knock your socks off

I love it when a rotten politician dies. I'm the first one to jump up and crow about it, callously and often.
A state getting hit by a natural disaster is not that, and however that state went in any given election, it's deeply anti-human to jeer at people living there & tell them they deserve it.
