Hearing from family back in Texas that ICE is ramping up in San Antonio.

This is the most blisteringly stupid part of all this. San Antonio is a majority Hispanic city. I mean, fuck, Texas was once Mexico. The people that live there have ALWAYS been there, BEFORE America. Fuckin' absurd.

Judge Friesler condemned thousands of people to death under Hitler's regime, and his reign of terror ended when an American B-17 dropped a bomb on the Berlin courthouse where he was presiding. Friesler had ordered the courthouse evacuated and then returned to retrieve the prosecution files.
The clip above is from Judge Freisler's People's (kangaroo) Court prosecution of anti-Hitler resistance in 1944. Hitler had their slow and gruesome executions filmed for his private viewing pleasure in the evenings -- much the way I imagine Trump enjoys watching Leavitt insult reporters. Full clip:

“The entire operation is becoming slower and more resource-intensive. There is good reason to believe that more immigrants are with their families tonight because of ICE Watch.”
For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention.

The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.
Opinion | I'm a Minneapolis sociologist who studies violence. Here's how ICE observers are helping.
Research into how violence occurs shows that disapproval from the people around you can help reduce it.

Immigration officers around Minneapolis are approaching people and demanding proof that they’re U.S. citizens, residents who have recorded these encounters on video say.

U.S. citizens who are out walking or standing in public are not required to provide documentation or provide identification, one legal expert says.

My recalibration of the classic “Indian-head Test Pattern” used in black-and-white television broadcasting from the 1930s to the 1960s.

Step 1: Create street violence

Step 2: Blame enemy group for street violence

Step 3: Brutally oppress enemy group in the name of ending street violence

Step 4: Tell goons to provoke less violence for a sec

Step 5: "You have to give us more power so we can prevent street violence in the future."
Repressive regimes always create the very conditions of instability & unrest that they claim to "solve."

So in Virginia, Dems are rightfully gonna attempt to basically completely gerrymander congressional republicans out of congress. Our two Senators, Tim Kaine and Mark Warner have been advocating for a more moderate gerrymander.

This is how one of the key VA state Democrats responded.

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic.

The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.
Breaking news: The Justice Department has issued subpoenas for Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey as part of an investigation alleging that they are impeding federal law enforcement officers’ abilities to do their jobs in the state.

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.
