State Terror Has Arrived (M. Gessen/New York Times)
Emergency Triad: Another American Has Been Murdered by Our Government (Jonathan V. Last/The Bulwark)
ICE is full of COWARDS. They are all absolute, pathetic, untrained COWARDS. DEFUND AND PROSECUTE. (Seth Moulton/YouTube) I don’t see you going out in subzero temperatures for 18 hours at a time to round up the illegal invaders that are corrupting our country. Doesn’t take much bravery to spout off on YouTube.
Lefty Protestor Bites Off Federal Officer’s Finger
Trump’s Goons Are the Terrorists. This Is What We Must Do Now (David Rothkopf/The Daily Beast) We need to write a lot of rage-bait editorials. That’ll fix ’em!
The Instant Smear Campaign Against Border Patrol Shooting Victim Alex Pretti (David Gilbert/Wired) As opposed to the constant perpetual smear campaign agaist ICE.
Shooting renews urgent legal effort to restrict ICE’s Minnesota operation (Politico)
Republicans are worried about Trump’s deportation campaign, and our new poll shows why (Politico) We asked a whole bunch of AWFULs and they all agreed.
Trump’s sudden retreat on Greenland shows that limits still exist (Karen Tumulty/Washington Post) No, it just means that he’s been playing simpletons like the people who write for the Washington Post.
CNN’s Phillip Claims ‘Legitimate Fear’ Of ICE In Minneapolis Justifies Running From Them But they’re not ‘running from them’, they’re ‘interfering with them’. I see no trace of fear there, legitimate or otherwise. They seem to think that this is some kind of LARP.
Alex Jeffrey Pretti Knew He Wanted to Help Others (New York Times) So he interfered with law enforcement and got shot. Some help.
ICE is clearly out of control. This week the Senate can actually do something about it. (Mike Zamore/MS NOW) Out of proglodyte control, certainly.

There’s More to Greg Bovino’s Coat Than You Think (Derek Guy/Politico) Dunh dunh DUNHHHHHHH….
Videos of deadly Minneapolis shooting contradict government statements (Hannah Fingerhut/Associated Press) Of course they do, because they were deliberately by the protest-industrial complex to support their version of the Narrative. The same thing was done in the case of Renée Good.
The killing of Alex Pretti is a grim turning point (Zack Beauchamp/Vox) It’s not a ‘turning point’ at all, except perhaps in the Democrat push for a Protesters’ Veto over law enforcement activity.
What MAGA Really Thinks of the Second Amendment (Jonathan Chait/The Atlantic) Really? Really? Jonathan Chait is now supposed to be an expert in what “MAGA thinks”? Pull the other one….
