"Border czar Tom Homan’s announcement today that 700 federal agents will be withdrawn from Minnesota—over a third of those deployed—may come just in time to avert a showdown.
According to a homeland security munitions inventory leaked to me, by mid-January, the feds had amassed some 35,000 weapons in Minneapolis."

"When you are asking men to essentially make war on their fellow citizens—to force lightly dressed people out into the frigid Minneapolis winter, detain elementary schoolers, follow good Samaritans as they deliver food to hiding families, and drag, tackle, beat, tase, or even shoot American citizens—you may find telling them that they can keep their identity hidden useful."

"The masks may work less to protect federal agents from danger than to to make it easier for them to do unspeakable things."

"Alex Pretti had courage and all the things the myths and tales say men should aspire to. He had them because of his empathy, because of his ethic of care. His executioners had the performance of masculinity, the kind won by meting out violence and terrorising communities."

As Heather Cox Richardson also does (see /1 above), Edith Olmsted points out:
"Not a single Republican congressperson—the very same people who want you to believe that Good deserved to die—bothered to attend Tuesday’s forum [on ICE violence in Minnesota]."
Olmsted highlights testimony given by two brothers of Renee Good at the forum.

"Years ago I came to the conclusion that the Department of Homeland Security was a mistake in all sorts of various ways. I believe as we now approach the 25th anniversary of 9/11 later this year, we must revisit it and break it apart."
