If you're going to murder someone, you should murder them gently.
Ted Cruz: "What I think the administration could do better is the tone with which they're describing this. Immediately when an incident like this happens, they come out guns blazing that 'we took out a violent terrorist. Hooray."

This is also the same Greg Abbott who pardoned the guy who murdered a George Floyd protester in 2020.

All of this happened with basically no help from elected officials of the opposition party. This was entirely the people.

I regret to inform you that a DC Examiner reporter who tweeted that Border Patrol was leaving the Twin Cities has deleted her post, and as a result I deleted my post sharing what she reported

Rep. Buddy Carter (also a Senate candidate) is reading the room and calling for Trump thugs to invade Atlanta. Bold strategy.

So, I've spent most of my professional life on what Bluesky would surely consider "the right," and I think what's going on here is that so much of the action there is top-down and ultimately donor-driven that some of these folks genuinely can't wrap their heads around...
The rest of it is even funnier

🚨BREAKING: Minnesota state attorneys alleged in a court hearing that Donald Trump and the Department of Justice are attempting to force the state to surrender its sovereignty — in particular, its control over elections — through the massive federal immigration operation in the Twin Cities region.
Minnesota lawyers argue Trump’s ICE invasion is ‘extorting’ state for voter rolls demands
“It’s a shakedown letter,” one attorney said of Attorney General Bondi's list of demands to the state.

Bezos is cutting the Post enough that these people could just make another newspaper. Also looks like Bezos's decision last year to endorse Trump and nuke the editorial pages was potentially fatal to it.
A bloodbath at The Washington Post. What a terrible day for journalism.

They can’t actually deescalate because the whole administration is staffed with edgelord trolls.

My question: where is Alex Pretti’s phone? Which was recording and seems like it would have a lot of answers and is evidence in any investigation?

Early eugenicists claimed that people from certain countries were a burden due to disability (whether or not they had one).

Now, Trump is doing the same by stopping immigrant visas from those from 75 countries. New from me at @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
Trump's latest visa "pause" targets 75 countries he thinks are lazy
A thinly coded policy locks out "nationalities at high risk of public benefits usage."

After killing Alex Pretti, the Trump regime’s propaganda is collapsing. They’re watching as the American people turn against them. People across the aisle know they’re being gaslit and are fed up. Now, Leavitt is backing off some as they try to course correct. But the damage is done—they’re exposed.

The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember:

- Organized a city wide general strike
- Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence
- Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE
- Flipped public opinion against ICE

The auditor of the state of Ohio, who is running to be the state's next attorney general, wrote an oped this morning that the Columbus Dispatch published on how Renee Good is to blame for her death.

The subheadline alone is already chilling.

Abolish ICE is not enough.

Stern words for Greg Bovino or Kristi Noem is not enough.

We need prosecutions and trials.

Anything short of this position fails to address the gravity of this moment.
