Trump loves to make women (like DeVos and Noem) the face of his most violent policies because:
- He hopes stereotypes about white femininity will sanitize and legitimize violence
- He expects they will take all the heat if he loses the public
Impeaching Noem should be the beginning. Not the end.

ICE, and everything that it stands for, is the culmination of decades of (re-)normalizing creeping authoritarianism and widespread violence. Reconstruction ended too early, and almost everything we've seen ultimately stems from that.
There has to be accountability and justice.

So keep pushing. Anything short of ICE’s abolition isn’t nearly enough.
And I’d say that even ICE’s abolition should only be the start of ending the violence that came to feel “normal” under Trump.

The killing of Alex Pretti and the grotesque lying was an overreach by the administration. They've paid a price and had to pull back a bit. But it's when there's some disarray that the democratic opposition needs to intensify the offensive, and turn a marginal tactical success into a major victory.

There's an election for every Wisconsin sheriff this year -- 72 races. More than a dozen counties are handling some immigration enforcement duties on ICE's behalf, mostly in eastern and central Wisconsin, and in some counties surrounding Milwaukee. Many others share information with ICE.
NEW: There are 2,400+ elections for DA & sheriff this year.
These matter hugely to criminal justice & policing—including: *these are often officials who decide ICE collaboration.*
So I took a dive into these 2,400+ races to identify early hotspots and battlegrounds.

Second, the judge clearly is sympathetic but questions what authority she has to be so sweeping. And there's the rub. Legally, she likely is limited. The guardrails don't exist.

WOW on Pretti's denial of medical treatment
"I informed the ICE agents that I am a physician, and I asked to
assess the victim.
At first, the ICE agents wouldn't let me through. ... But none of the ICE agents who were near the victim were performing CPR, ... None of the agents were helping him."

The truly absurd thing is that this is happening in no small part because the business wing of the republican coalition vetoed effective immigration enforcement (cracking down on employers), so Miller and company defaulted to state sponsored vice signaling.
Shooting mothers, nurses, while arresting priests and toddlers - this is what comes of that. Their terror campaign is completely backfiring on them. People aren't backing down, they're just getting enraged and radicalised.
YouGov is out with a new poll after ICE killed another person in Minnesota today. Abolishing ICE is now +5 among all adults, and **+12 among independents**

impartiality and objectivity mean that you should be willing to decisively favor one side if the evidence suggests it. i think what the news has opted for instead is probably best termed 'relativism'
There's a point at which "impartiality" becomes gaslighting. The BBC has crossed this point.

Some of the stories in here are absolutely chilling. One US citizen of Somali descent was just riding an elevator with ICE agents and then they detained him for almost half an hour in the freezing cold despite him showing agents his passport card. They only let him go once protestors showed up.
