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!

"American innovation" now refers to making a kind of atrocity cronut by combining insider trading with war crimes.

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.

every epstein file drop underscores how elite power operates through shared socio-economic networks, regardless of people's ideological differences, populist posturing, or public feuds

I hope that whatever marginal gains the Democrats accomplish as the minority party with respect to ICE are just the beginning, though I fear they'll be an end. ICE was bad under Obama. It stayed. It was bad under Biden. It stayed. But ICE is bad because of what it does, not just how it does it.

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

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum. Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum. Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum. ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

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.

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"

An insane, perfect encapsulation of it all: The same day Trump’s agents kill a Veterans Affairs ICU nurse in broad daylight, the CEOs of Apple and Amazon join Trump to watch a private screening of a film about his wife directed by an alleged sexual abuser who was seen shirtless in the Epstein Files

It had nothing to do with him having a gun. The presence of a gun merely provided a convienent lie for why they murdered him, which they did because they enjoy doing it. It's why they do this job. They like hurting people and they take any chance they can get

What they’re saying is okay vs not okay

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

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"

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...

And he didn’t. He tried to help a woman who’d just been assaulted. There was nothing rash, stupid, or radical about what he did. He showed kindness. And they killed him for it.

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.

If someone in a position of responsibility doesn’t do something and soon, so much more violence is coming.

UPDATE: @dropsitenews.com has obtained the very graphic video from the lady in the pink coat, which shows ICE executing yet another person in broad daylight:

Murder by murder they've been moving the posts on who is allowed to carry a gun such that now the second amendment only applies to you if you're a white man who is brandishing his weapon in support of the state's right to wantonly terrorize and execute people

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

The newest video shows very clearly that they attacked him for coming to an aid of a woman that the agents pushed, and then executed him while he was immobilized. Everything the government has said, like with Good, has been a complete lie.

By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.

Replying to @nikkimcr.bsky.social

The reporter follows up, asks if the gun was "moved from the scene" and asked who exactly is providing the account that the victim was brandishing the weapon (as one isn't visible in the video) Bovino fumbles around a bit and the press conference is cut off.

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.

Bellingcat@bellingcat.com

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_...

All I see is federal agents getting violent with residents, over and over, while Democratic leaders repeatedly tell those residents to calm down and not do anything in response. This is not sustainable.
