why?
The job of an op/ed page is not to only publish the "right" opinions. If a topic, policy, or decision is in the news / under discussion at the highest levels, the op/ed page at a national newspaper should be publishing pieces that make the case for that policy or decision. Even if the policy is bad!

Replying to @screamerjim.bsky.social
These freaks yell “just teach the classics” but they’re all illiterate or otherwise just don’t read, because there it is: the single greatest writer in the history of the English language reaching 4 centuries into the future to read them for the grimy, hateful filth they are.

Note I sent to @repauchincloss.bsky.social this morning concerning that heinous Q&A last night

(Dude suddenly stops pushing his broom across the floor of the Death Star) Does this look like a big laser to anyone else
Palantir employees are pressing company leadership over its work for ICE in internal company Slacks obtained by @wired.com "In my opinion ICE are the bad guys. I am not proud that the company I enjoy so much working for is part of this." Scoop from @makenakelly.bsky.social
"Sorry sorry trying to delete." Besides the moronic if not totally disingenuous absurdity of this statement, I am so sick of these people calling murders "senseless." Every one of these crimes makes sense. Calling them senseless just lets you off the hook for doing anything about it
Rep. Tom Suozzi(D-NY), getting raked over the coals for his vote for more ICE funding, says in a campaign email that he didn’t understand what he was doing

Now that blood is on the street, we still won’t admit you’ve been right all decade long while we scolded and marginalized you. Instead, we’ll declare it’s just now become right to say such things.
"Recent events have brought Trump’s governing style into sharper focus," Jonathan Rauch argues. "'Fascist' best describes it, and reluctance to use the term has now become perverse." theatln.tc/wVq7MFaa

Even in this abhorrent right wing victim blaming fantasty in which the conservative male is the perfect subject of compliance, the hero cop still must be treated like a frightened rabid animal lest he lash out and kill as is his nature
Chip Roy: "As someone who carries a weapon in TX, if I'm in front of law enforcement or if I get stopped, I tell them that. I tell them that I've got a concealed carry permit. I show them my ID. I tell them where the weapon is bc that's what we're supposed to do. That's not what I think I saw here"

What they’re saying is okay vs not okay
Noem lies shamelessly: "An individual approached order Patrol officers with a 9mm semi-automatic gun. The officers attempted to disarm this individual, but the armed suspect reacted violently. This looks like a situation where an individual arrived to inflict maximum damage and kill law enforcement"

Good god
I found this bit, by a journalist who has written about CBP and ICE for many years, to be really instructive on how shockingly and persistently lawless those agencies, and especially CBP, have been for their entire existence, for more or less the same reason. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/ice-101-ho...

Arrest them or stfu. You don’t want that confrontation? Well the alternative is letting the people in your state be murdered, tortured, kidnapped. Children abducted and abused. THAT is the only alternative the ICE nazis are offering. That is what you, Frey and you colleagues have allowed so far.
Walz: "We sill investigate this. We will not be stonewalled ... this will end when enough American say this will end. Do I have any confidence that Donald Trump will do the right thing? No ... quit referring to these people as law enforcement. They are not law enforcement."

Today I'm remembering Philando Castile, shot in 2016 by police in the Minneapolis suburbs after being pulled over for a broken brake light. "Sir, I have to tell you that I do have a firearm on me," he said. Ten seconds later one of the cops had shot him five times. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing...

They can murder you for speech (1A), they can murder you for having a gun (2A), they can murder you for stopping an illegal search or arrest (4A) How much more of the Bill of Rights are they gonna murder you for?
“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

Our initial analysis is up. The video footage appears to show that the gun was taken away from the man before he was shot. He was UNARMED before any of the shots were fired.
Federal law enforcement agents shot and killed a man in Minneapolis on Jan. 24 according to local police officials. DHS told Fox News that the man was “armed with a gun”. A video of the shooting appears to show that a gun was taken from the man before the first shot was fired. x.com/BillMelugin_...
