I personally don't tell people who have been fighting their hearts out daily for weeks not to celebrate wins of any size. I certainly don't do that when I've been nowhere near the place where the fight has been happening and have done little more than make some donations from miles away.

That was...a joke. The "interviewer" was Jiminy Glick.

It doesn't matter. It's not good enough. It won't change things. It's just cosmetic. It should have happened years ago. It doesn't mean anything. It's too late. It doesn't make up for the fact that... Pissing on glimmers of hopefulness isn't tough-minded. It's just wallowing in a comfort zone.

I'm getting "Don't be so ridiculously cheerful!" in response to THIS POST. Bluesky, never change. Actually, no, change a little.

The President of the United States appears to have begun a journey toward deciding that federal thugs murdering innocent people does not make the great TV he assumed it would. I wish we did not live in a world in which this counts as encouraging news, but it does.

I cannot tell you how many people, including me, have been seriously screwed by this. Both sides deserve to be locked in a room without food, water, heat, or mercy until a deal can be reached.

Mount Sinai — the largest hospital system in New York — no longer takes my insurance due to a dispute with Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield. Got to love the healthcare industry. So glad I have so much freedom and choice!

This country is in crisis because of its reckless and deranged leadership, something a majority of Americans are coming to understand. That is worth stating plainly and clearly in an editorial. It does not require both-sides-ism, false equivalence, blame-shifting, or rhetorical ass-covering. x

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialJan 25(source)

Second, like many manifestly disingenuous sentences, this one collapses under the weight of its necessarily vague language. What does "to AVOID violence" mean? Not to commit acts of violence? Or to make sure that you do absolutely nothing that might encourage any ICE agent to put you in harm's way?>

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialJan 25(source)

To be clear: First of all, no. The obligation of protesters in the street--whether mere observers or the civilly disobedient--is in no way EQUAL to the obligation of a masked, poorly trained, unaccountable, armed federal force rolling through American streets at the behest of an authoritarian.>

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialJan 25(source)

This is from the NYT masthead editorial about the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. The highlighted line invalidates not just the editorial, but the very idea of newspaper editorials crafted by the consensus of a board. Better to publish nothing at all than to publish a line like this.

"The temperature in Minneapolis is dangerously high. There is an urgent need for the federal agents deployed to the city to step back and take a breath before more Americans are hurt or killed. [Highlighted]: Those protesting the Trump administration have an equal obligation to avoid violence.

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialJan 25(source)

I will say, watching Blanche, Scalise, Bessent, and Noem today, that it's clear the administration knows it's losing. The combo of "This was a tragedy"/"Who can really tell what's on that video?"/"But he had a gun"/"This would only happen in Minneapolis" was flailing and panicky. They're scared.

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialJan 25(source)

This administration is never more dangerous than when it knows it's losing a public-relations war, because the only two responses it ever makes are 1) pretend it won but quickly pivot or 2) double down. It's hard to know which way these bottomlessly evil people will go. We're in for a fateful week.>

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialJan 25(source)

These monsters have worked for decades to create an America in which it's perfectly okay for civilians to walk around with a loaded weapon, and now they're saying if you have a gun at a protest, the state can murder you.

BARTIROMO: There is outrage across the country that there is another killing. Someone is dead at the hands of Border Patrol. What can you tell us? KASH PATEL: You do not get to attack law enforcement officials in this country without any repercussions. We not messing around.

For anyone out there who wishes I would stay in my lane: I would LOVE a world in which I can just post about old Columbo episodes and Ross Macdonald novels and the history of best supporting actress and my next book. I just need several conditions to be met first. Let us work toward them together!

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti
Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti

“We are heartbroken but also very angry.

Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact.

I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed.

Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

You can help to stop it by voting against the funding bill. Will you do that?

I hope Democratic senators and congressmen understand, out of pure lizard-brain self-interest if moral decency happens to be unavailable, what is at stake for them if they don't handle this the right way. This is a true "If not now, when?" moment.

No. They do not "appear to" contradict it. They contradict it.

Alex Pretti, the man killed by federal agents today in Minneapolis, appears to have been a registered nurse, an athlete, a son and a brother, with ties to Colorado and Wisconsin. Here is a photo he used for several accounts.

Sources identify man shot as Alex Jeffrey Pretti of south Minneapolis

The man fatally shot by federal officers in Minneapolis this morning has been identified as Alex Jeffrey Pretti, according to sources familiar with the investigation.
Pretti, 37, has an address listed in south Minneapolis.

At a news conference, Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara said the man who was shot was a 37-year-old white man with no serious criminal history and a record that showed some parking tickets. Law enforcement sources said Saturday their records show Pretti had no serious criminal history.
