NEW: The ICE office that customarily probes employee misconduct is being refocused to investigate ICE critics, opening hundreds of "doxing and threat" cases and subpoenaing tech companies to unmask anonymous posters. Detention facility inspections, meanwhile, are plummeting.

It’s been six months since the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. Here is how the federal government has stonewalled investigations, and how Minnesota law enforcement is attempting to push for accountability anyway
The Death of Renee Good Has Yet to Be Properly Investigated
Six months after she and Alex Pretti were shot on the streets of Minneapolis, little has come of the probes into their killings.

Hey Dana Bash, rather than asking Dems if their comments caused an assassination attempt, how about asking Republicans if their support for a sex offender, convicted felon, bigot, corrupt, hate-spewing president may have caused the attempt?

I do frequently wonder what the average citizen of the U.S. knows about Reconstruction. As Du Bois would later point out, the backlash of lost cause propaganda didn’t just create mass disinformation about the civil war itself, but about the opening for actual democracy that briefly came after it.

The solution to gerrymandering has been known for nearly two hundred years at this point. When we take back power we should do a new VRA that requires proportional representation (after we deal with the Court, of course, to ensure the law sticks) youtu.be/T7_LmqR0a04?...

I realize this is obvious to most but allow me to rant:
At the core of Trump's base love for him is a simmering resentment over their mediocrity and gratitude for him making it permissible to be arrogant whilst mediocre.
Everything in this cult can be traced back to that.

Unfortunately the administration seems to have latched on to a key vulnerability in our constitutional order, which is that if you charge ahead and do the illegal thing, you often get most of the result you wanted even if you later lose in court.
