Minneapolis and Saint Paul have basically mobilized into a war economy of mutual aid and non-violent defense. I’ve never seen anything like it, even during Covid. People who barely vote are guarding their schools from ICE and doing the shopping for neighbors in hiding.
This is so smart. I’m so impressed with all the different ways you’re helping your neighbors.

Maine alert: ICE is expanding its presence. Know the signs, alert neighbors, document safely, and stay nonviolent—but don’t stay silent. Community awareness saves lives. Save this graphic. Share widely.

They're investigating the victim's wife, the victim's friends, the mayor and the governor too, but no, they're not even going to glance in the direction of the murderer.
BREAM: Is the FBI investigating the ICE agent who shot Renee Good?
BLANCHE: What happened has been reviewed by millions of Americans bc it was recorded. We investigate when it's appropriate. That is not the case here. We are not going to bow to pressure. So no, we are not investigating.

According to Brian Stelter, 60 Minutes is finally airing the "Inside CECOT" story that Bari Weiss shelved.
She made Sharyn Alfonsi fly to DC to get an interview with Tom Homan and Kristi Noem for the segment, but both refused.
So it'll run tonight -- with no promotion and against the NFL playoffs.

We just saw this, and it’s a good idea for businesses to post. Private businesses are allowed to set dress and conduct rules. Requiring no full face coverings has long been standard for safety and loss prevention reasons, and it is within a business’s rights to refuse entry or service.

Trump has lost ~10% in approval in his first year, to ~41%. Obviously the least committed supporters flake off first, so it this pace probably won't continue. But if he declines at half this rate until Nov. 2026, he'd be at ~37%. That would lead to a wave election, and the Senate would be in play.

The main problem isn’t that ICE is poorly trained, as bad as that is. The problem with ICE is the miscreants being recruited and the orders they have been given.
The problem is that ICE is akin to the SA in Nazi Germany. Training ICE better better, under this regime, would just turn it into the SS.
