I had a nightmare about being on the ground attacked and bitten time and again by a feral band. It woke me up and I realized it was triggered by ICE presence and conduct, and media coverage of same. The way they band. The way they attack humans. Nasty animals.
_____________UPDATE____________
Is there an effort to ease up just a little in Minnesota, and if so, what does it mean?
Strib runs an item to semi-humanize Greg Bovino. And -
The latest: JD Vance to visit Minnesota this week as federal immigration surge continues
Those things, and the "deescalation" memo seem as if things are being taken away from Noem's shock-and-awe crap, and not changed much, but perhaps a bit lower on the gratuitous brutality as overt policy.
That would be straight out of Machiavelli, who taught maximize initial brutality, then transit to easing up a bit, and the opposition will lessen. Cold and cruel, but it looks like that. Prove me wrong, please.
Also in that JD headed item, not separately posted, Trump appears to be throwing John Ross under the bus, or starting to, with escalation from there:
Trump calls Renee Good's death 'a tragedy'At a news conference Tuesday reflecting on his first year in office, President Donald Trump had a softer tone when talking about the shooting death of Renee Good by an ICE agent than he did earlier this month. Trump said on Tuesday he “felt terribly” about it and that it was a “tragedy.”
During his remarks, Trump said ICE agents are “going to make mistakes sometimes,” he said, adding that they were occasionally “going to be too rough with somebody.”
Likely, Trump could give two shits about John Ross and about Renee Good, and is seeing Ross-under-the-bus as a tactic. Shooting somebody multiple times in the face seems to most people as much more than "too rough with somebody."
Trump still remains cogent enough to know that, but his thing is whether bad or whatever, keep escalating until time to chicken out and downscale.
BOTTOM LINE - Ross under the bus. Expendable agent.
The likely thing is to not be lulled into any fewer whistles or phone-video, as what is needed is firm proof over time of realization that the siege of Minnesota was a mistake. It would surprise me greatly if these people are capable of decency, but we'll see.
FURTHER:
They said it. It needed saying. It was time taken away from their practice, to reach the Capitol, to collectively speak up. It helps.
I guess the white male hospital top medical staff had to remain behind, since patients needed care. But the women spoke up. Women seem more outraged and vocal in general about the evil of the siege. Or news coverage suggests this is so.
FURTHER: Sadly, it needs to be said, the only answer is what Mayor Frey said at the outset of the occupation, "Get the fuck out of Minneapolis." And that is NOT happening and should happen and JD can come and sophist up, down, and sideways, but, get the fuck out, and yesterday would not have been soon enough.
Unwanted, unhelpful, disturbing the peace. Get out. And leave Ross, for Minnesota to try for murder. Give all investigative notes and records and phone and email data to the Minnesota authorities, and then task the FBI to do things they can be trusted at not having cause to do a coverup. Otherwise, JD it's like you going to Greenland.
Unwanted, unhelpful, etc.
FURTHER: We do not need JD propagandizing. We need an exit. If JD takes them with him, bless JD. Otherwise, don't come. We want you JD as much as we want ICE.
Unless you intend to call off the siege and punish Ross for murder, stay in DC.
