"After an ICE agent shot and killed the Minneapolis mother, conservative media launched an all-out attack on her reputation. Her identity as a queer woman was central to it. ...

What the public is meant to 'learn' from Good’s death seems unambiguous: Get in our way and this could happen to you.

[Leigh] Finke puts it simply. 'This is the authoritarian value of Renee’s queer identity,' she says. 'She was the warning.'”

@josephcox More evidence we are living in Terry Gilliam's Brazil, where the unaccountability for incompetence is as terrifying as the cruelty:

“Information Transit got the wrong man. I got the *right* man. The wrong one was delivered to me as the right man, I accepted him on good faith as the right man. Was I wrong?”

"One way to read the occupation of Minnesota is as a flex — a demonstration of the government’s power and authority. That, perhaps, is how [Stephen] Miller and Kristi Noem see the situation. I smell, on the other hand, a stench of desperation, an attempt to do with force what they can’t accomplish through ordinary politics."

Here's how to contact our reporters securely: propublica.org/tips

James Fallows offers a primer on Trump and Greenland:

1) This crisis is all coming from someone’s gut. Not from anyone’s brain.

2) The US has nothing to gain by ‘owning’ Greenland. Zero.

3) No one wants us there. Zero.

4) Greenland is smaller than you think. But the distances and remoteness are larger.

5) The whole idea of taking over Greenland would appall the founders of our country.

Hot take: We shouldn't block AI companies from training on our F/OSS code. We should require them to free the models they train. That's not naïve idealism—it's the same strategy that built GNU/Linux. Why training copyleft might be our GPL moment:

"If you want to be terrified for America’s future, look at what Trump’s Homeland security thugs are doing in Minnesota.

But if you want to be inspired for America’s future, look at how ordinary Minnesotans refuse to be terrorized.

Minnesota, right now, is where Americans are bravely, resolutely, and boisterously living out King’s words in 'Letter From Birmingham Jail.'"

often when you see messaging like "we all need to do our part" it's a kind of cynical justification for cutting some essential, centralized, mostly-efficient public service in favor of an ad-hoc, individualist approach that externalizes the issue and disclaims responsibility for neglect and poor outcomes. if you protest such a change, or suggest that perhaps some problems are better dealt with collectively by pooling resources, then it must be you who are lacking the collective spirit!
