Trump Using A ‘Softer Touch’ With ICE In Minnesota? Residents Say Don’t Be Fooled. Two weeks after Alex Pretti’s killing, federal agents have shown no signs of backing down. The resistance definitely hasn't.

NEW: The Trump admin certainly put on a show last week about changing tactics in Minnesota after ICE agents killed Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old VA nurse.

Trump even suggested it's time for "a softer touch."

Except residents say nothing has changed. At all. www.huffpost.com/entry/ice-mi...

New version of GOP suppression bill would impose nationwide proof of citizenship, photo ID requirements The bill would undermine the right to vote in the U.S. ahead of the 2026 midterms.

NEW: House Republicans Friday unveiled an amended version of their voter suppression bill that, if it became law, would gravely undermine the right to vote in the U.S. ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

I'm not actually all that shocked to watch many of Old Twitter's most misogynistic and dogpile-happy "leftist" men all seem to be coalescing around the hot take of "harassment isn't as big a deal as this feminine labor network makes it out to be, actually"

So for Dems, the win is: reiterating 3 things that are already law, 1 thing that is a best practice, and 1 thing that was already a rule up until 6 months ago?

From the bottom of my heart: fuck off with this.

And they didn't even include ICE out of hospitals, healthcare facilities and daycares.

before you take any of the "Trump is pivoting/lamenting/lowering the temperature after the Pretti murder" stories too seriously, absolutely nothing has changed in Minneapolis: "an absolutely brutal day of raids and abductions" says one friend

Yeah, I'm sure body cams will do the trick.

FBI is investigating Minnesota Signal groups tracking ICE, Patel says FBI Director Kash Patel made the statement after right-wing media figures said they joined the chats and claimed participants were obstructing law enforcement.

Important: Kash Patel’s egregiously anti-first-amendment statements here and Cam Higby’s claim to have “infiltrated” huge ICE-monitoring chats do NOT mean Signal is somehow “compromised.”

“An asshole manages to get added to some massive + intentionally minimally-screened chats” is not surprising.

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.

Hey—Hot Tip/Nth-thousandth Reminder: There are people who actively seek to destabilize and destroy consensus reality and knowledge-making for their own gain, whether through "AI" or any number of other propaganda processes and tools, and you shouldn't let them anywhere near power, ever, ever again.

What's making me really livid right now is thinking back to the years of commentary lecturing us that the rise of MAGA was rooted in a sense of righteous victimization by overbearing liberal elites, and sneering at those who insisted that it was fundamentally about domination and sadism all along.

You could actually structure your moral code around the idea that law enforcement doesn't exist to execute people. You don't have to create perfect victim narratives, you can just refuse to accept that the state gets to kill people.

Gavin Newsom backed down immediately when Ben Shapiro got mad at his press office for being too incendiary when Renee Good was shot. Newsom can’t even stand up to a failed right wing podcaster while ICE is murdering people. If you think he can stand up to Trump you’re the biggest ruse on the planet.

Come on, man! At least demand resignations! Hit us with some firey words about prosecutions. You could be speaking about a flash flood here for all the accountability you’re pushing for

Absolute Immunity Alignment with supremacy is a vile choice. Raising the natural costs for those who make that choice by putting first things first.

Let me give you a thought experiment:

Imagine not just a ban on qualified immunity for authority, but a reversal; a new legal framework, under which authority bears greater responsibility than civilians in matters involving force—as it should.

“Everyone should be allowed to carry a gun for their safety but the government can murder you in the street if you have a gun” is an incredible endpoint for the conservative moment

Guys the people currently grabbing up power in the USA are part of a network that openly believes in "passive eugenics" so yes they are trying to kill everybody. They think the planet is overpopulated with "the wrong kinds of people"

They are consistently proving our worst fears and suspicions. ICE is an irredeemable enterprise.

“ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

I like that the same day a guy was like “this place will never be Twitter” this thread gave us the most 2015 Twitter experience (complimentary) imaginable.

Really can't stand the self-abasement of takes posing as the reasonable middle by conceding it'd be a sensible policy to purchase / annex Greenland so long as it wasn't by force, as if any of the nonsense reasons are compelling. Stop it. There is no reasonable version, that would still be idiotic.

“The truth always lies somewhere in the middle” has to be one of my least favorite phrases. Sometimes, one side is actually truthful and one side is actually malicious and lying!

If you believe that Gavin Newsom is the best we can do when it comes to finding Democrats willing to brutally and unapologetically crush the MAGA murderers and child-rapists, you suffer from a deeply depressing poverty of imagination.

Abolish ICE.

Playing the "he was no angel" card to the kidnapping of the leader of a foreign nation and the bombing of its capital city is fucking wild

A Criminal Empire The United States launches a conquest and occupation of Venezuela to extract its oil wealth. The neocon dream is the America First dream

"After a very long period of pretense, there is clearly no distinction between America First and neoconservatism," writes @attackerman.bsky.social

By retreating only to "kitchen table issues" to avoid being labeled "woke," Democratic leaders have left an open goal for the GOP. When you treat the harassment of vulnerable communities as a "distraction" rather than a crisis, you're not avoiding a fight: you're just forfeiting it.
