Trump spent the entire campaign talking about how he was going to have law-enforcement "be not so nice." This is part of the same lie that forces us to pretend "they didn't vote for this."
Leavitt: "Nobody in the White House, including President Trump, wants to see people getting hurt or killed in America's streets. This includes Renee Good, Alex Pretti, the brave men and women of law enforcement, and the many Americans who have been victimized by illegal alien criminals"

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.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

It's good when people who didn't agree with me change their minds.
However, exactly how much grace I offer them post-revelation depends on a range of factors.
My tent is big and so has room for many people.
It's also large enough that I can let someone in but not sit with them.

Bluesky idea: if people who didn't agree with you change their opinions so that they do agree with you, why not be happy that you are making progress - rather than complaining that they are "only just catching up"?

pretty wild statement re: Republican Chris Madel drop from race for MN governor:
"Saying he cannot support the national GOP's 'stated retribution on citizens of our state, nor can I count myself a member of a party that would do so."

Kent State's student body was fairly conservative, but the presence of troops on campus had radicalized many of them. This is how Ohio's governor described these young people: "We’re up against the strongest, well-trained, militant revolutionary group that has ever been assembled in America."

This state violence was facilitated by rhetoric that dehumanized the (mostly) white middle class protesters at Kent State. The day before students were killed, their Governor described them as "worse than the Brownshirts, and the Communist element, and also the Night Riders, and the vigilantes."
