Washington Post: Trump softens tone on Minneapolis violence amid calls for accountability The White House changed leadership in Minnesota and softened its tone on dead protesters as polls show Americans turning against ICE.

Semafor: Trump softens tone on Minneapolis shooting

AP: Trump administration shifts tone on fatal shooting in Minneapolis

Axios: NEW: Trump spent Sunday lamenting his administration’s botched response to the Alex Pretti shooting, including news conferences by Greg Bovino and Kristi Noem in which they seemed “callous” about the man’s death, a confidant who spoke with Trump told Axios.

Trump is not doing this and the media is lying to you because they want to take him to the dance and kiss

This is embarrassingly on-the-nose textbook “psychology of fascism” stuff. Bitter, impotent tools getting to feel powerful by proxy watching brutality done on their behalf.

The Trump admin is scrambling because the secret police it sends out for kidnappings and rioting has been killing people on video then brazenly lying about it, but Schumer's instinct is to whip his caucus into taking a position *more conservative* than that held by the median voter.

He's got to go.

The Atlantic finally catching up with what some of us have been saying for *years*

Even the DNR agents who flash banged and tear gassed us yesterday even though we were half a block away?

To all my friends and colleagues still in the cult - today is an especially good day to leave.

ICE just shot, and almost certainly killed, another observer in Minneapolis this morning. Video in next portion of thread, but warning...it is incredibly hard to watch.

COLBERT, on the so-called “Board of Peace”:

“.. Paying a billion dollars to obey Donald Trump seems a little steep. After all, CBS got to do it for just 16 million."

@latenightercom.bsky.social $PSKY

”ICE has conspired to break into American homes without warrants based on secret and dubious legal theories. But someone needs to be asking: can those homes afford enough groceries?” Democrats in Congress polish their message for the midterms.

I love it when we all stay up late having fun together in our jammies with our little snacks

Primary and remove every person in @housedemocrats.bsky.social and Senate @democrats.org leadership out of office. Every single one.

Correct. They did this to me today too.

Sent it to the attorneys who got the TRO from Judge Menendez.

Classic 18 USC § 111.

This was in the Interlachen Park Neighborhood off of Excelsior and Blake.

Video is WAY too long to upload. Will reduce down to send to Judge Menedez.

Pretty strong elsewhere (I'm in Hopkins). Got pulled over twice, guns drawn both times, to give me "final warnings" to stop following them.

Nah man, @dexanderson.com had 100% valid questions and recommendations for you and you treated them like shit. I saw every post between you and Dec. Stop playing the victim and just apologize man...it is MAGA types that can't admit when they were wrong.

If that is the best you could "respectfully engage", then brother -- you need to go to therapy.

I've been following you for years, and not once have I seen an interaction by you like this. It came off horrible -- and if you don't want to piss off a bunch of actual DFLers, maybe apologize and listen and respond to the actual and legitimate concerns people like Dex had and noted to you.

Ya, but nowhere where you say you addressed it did it actually answer ANY of the points and questions asked by people like @dexanderson.com, who again -- was literally just trying to help until you turned so many people like them off against helping the DFL.

Minnesota attorney here -- been following this whole thing for days now -- not once have I seen you really act in good faith, especially to people like @dexanderson.com who was literally trying to help you message better and then you blew up at them.

*deleted and reposted. Sorry Dex!

History will judge Chuck Schumer as entirely ill-equipped for this moment. I try my best to see the good in our party leaders because I understand we're in uncharted territory, but it is beyond obvious he's the wrong person for the job.

swing voters are real, here to stay, and gigantic morons

Immense skill issue to not have found this immediately obvious in 2016

This is the sort of statement that was expected from every university president and law firm partner over the last year. That those statements weren’t made played a huge part in where we are now and people will remember.

It's the Montgomery Burns strategy. "I'm invincible"

All of this. In this day and age, once someone decides to stop being part of the problem and be a part of the solution, I'm gonna give them at least a partial pass. Doesn't mean I have to become best friends with them, but I can at least focus on our (now) common goal instead of past differences.

Stephen Colbert on the ICE murder of Renee Nicole Good: “The message from this administration is clear. Only they determine the truth. And when their forces come to your city: obey or die. And if you die, you clearly didn’t obey. This should be an alarm bell for the entire country.”
