My second biggest fear is that Democrats take back power and believe they can ignore these problems into normalcy
I mean, to be fair, the sort of subnormal droogs who infest ICE now do very much experience a woman laughing at them as being like murder, and murder triggers a right to self defense.

Minnesota should move to arrest the ICE officers or CBP agents involved and prosecute, just as Idaho prosecuted the FBI sniper at Ruby Ridge.

You can draw a draw a straight line from a right wing YouTuber's unverified viral video about Somali American daycares to ICE showing up in Minneapolis to this killing.
This feels like a galvanizing moment for the city in the same way George Floyd's death was five years ago.

First time looking at a physical USA Today in years so maybe this is normal… but why else would you write in this question/answer format if not for SEO

This observation deserves to be re-upped for a new year.
Planners should have to design cities from behind a Rawlsian veil of ignorance. That is to say: the planner will have to live in the city they design, but they don't know *where* in the city.

We can all agree that dictator Nicolas Maduro deserves no sympathy, but recasting petro-motivated military aggression as a battle against narco-terrorism isn’t law enforcement, it’s subverting the law—namely, Article I of our Constitution. [1/2]
