- Reposted by James RasmussenBy the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet

- The feds say the release of a Border Patrol agent's texts could "sully" his reputation. But a judge says they're fair game, partly because Homeland Security has shown "zero concern" for the rep of Chicago's Marimar Martinez.

- Reposted by James RasmussenVA Gov. Spanberger (moderate, was in CIA) and NYC Mayor Mamdani (left, is in DSA) both taking steps to block local law enforcement from helping ICE as it violently violates people's rights is a good example of how the relevant divide in the Dem coalition isn't center-left, it's fight-don't fight.

He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

This passage is from Peter Drucker’s essay in the Atlantic about the crossroads that science stood at during Nazism.

- Reposted by James RasmussenThe racist video posted by the President is perhaps the most egregiously racist thing shown in the White House since Woodrow Wilson screened Birth of a Nation there in 1915. Here's an article from Denver's Black newspaper in 1915 calling for Americans to denounce such racist imagery.

- Reposted by James Rasmussen2/ Justice Kavanaugh's logic (in Noem v Vasquez Perdomo): "If the person is a U. S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, that individual will be free to go after the brief encounter." Sworn affidavits show how, on the ground, this is simply not how it plays out with ICE.
