Police Behaving Poorly:

16-year-old with hands up shot to death by cops during ‘no-knock’ raid in AL, suit says

An Alabama teenager was asleep in his childhood bedroom moments before a police S.W.A.T. team “rammed down” the front door of his family’s home and fatally shot him, according to a new federal lawsuit. Randall Adjessom was left bleeding out in the hallway for more than four minutes during what was an unauthorized, “no-knock” raid by the Mobile Police Department before sunrise on Nov. 13, 2023, the lawsuit says.

Self-described progressive @sethabramson.bsky.social calls out to Trump supporters Elon is insulting, saying “lifelong con man” “profiteering” Musk supports H-1B Visas mainly to “abuse visa-insecure workers” at the expense of American workers.Full: threadreaderapp.com/thread/18728…

I haven’t studied MAGA theoreticians carefully, but I had the sense they’d gone as far as embracing Italian fascism (pre-Hitler) and other creepy versions of authoritarianism—but had made a self-conscious effort mostly to stay away (at least publicly) from Germany. Will they now follow Musk there?

I’m enjoying the MAGA v. DOGE fight as much as anyone. On the other hand, it’s kind of depressing that both sides in this dispute within the governing party of the U.S. are deplorable. Idiotic nativists and reprehensible eugenicists. Neither side believes in the principles of the Declaration.

The Worst People in the World:

CNN shows Bannon referring to Musk & Vivek as “big tech oligarchs” and “geeks” who were “stuffed in lockers”Bannon is more in touch with Trump’s MAGA base than Elon. Will Trump side with them? Or abandon them for his new rich tech buddies?

WATCH: “It looks like all that got violated was they had a disagreement with the most powerful user on the platform — optics on that aren’t exactly free speech.”MAGA loyalist Jack Posobiec talks to Bannon about Elon censoring Laura Loomer & more over the H-1B Visa fight.

Trump allies warn California leaders they could go to prison over sanctuary city laws

California’s southern border, long ‘ground zero’ in the fight between federal and local officials over immigration policy, is now at the center of renewed controversy over how far local leaders can go to protect people from deportation. 

After San Diego County took steps earlier this month to strengthen safeguards for undocumented residents, an organization led by President-elect Donald Trump’s adviser Stephen Miller sent a letter warning that elected leaders and employees of “sanctuary” jurisdictions could be “criminally liable” if they impede federal immigration enforcement.

In the Dec. 23 letter, America First Legal Foundation wrote: “We have identified San Diego County as a sanctuary jurisdiction that is violating federal law.”
