There are very different levels of responsibility for different people. Dude who started shooting is going to prison. Folks who showed up dressed in black but had no idea what was coming should not.

 

Importantly: they were attacked by the police chief, who wasn't wearing a uniform, and spent the better part of a week in jail already over it.

McElree, the police chief, who was dressed in plain clothes, grabbed a teenage boy and placed a teenage girl in a chokehold, they said, prompting other students to intervene and a larger scuffle to break out.

The government said the protesters were part of a heavily armed “cell” of left-wing activists, one of whom was accused of shooting an officer at an anti-ICE protest.

Mind you, several of them thought they were going to a rather ordinary protest, and had no reason to believe otherwise

I think they'd be happy do deport all the brown people and use people from southern Europe as slaves

There is a range of ways to run an economy and a society which can all work reasonably well. Conservative doesn’t have to be fascist. Its more that Republicans purged the non-fascist conservatives from any position of power

 

The paper is here

 

Federal law requires noncitizens to carry proof of their lawful status.

The idea is to set people up for a 2nd arrest, and deportation alongside that.

 

This just sets them up for deportation upon a second arrest because

Federal law requires noncitizens to carry proof of their lawful status.

 

Potential executive order would enlist banks in the White House’s illegal-immigration crackdown

This post uses a gift link with a view count limit. If it runs out, an earlier version of the article is here. That version is missing some significant details such as:

In January, FinCEN issued an order requiring banks and money transmitters in two Minnesota counties to file information about overseas transactions greater than $3,000, far lower than the normal $10,000 threshold for flagging cash transactions. Banks already think the $10,000 limit should be raised and have struggled to comply with the Minnesota order, according to some people familiar with their efforts.

The Washington Post has an article as well now

I think they call them gratuities now for the tax break and legal protection from the Supreme Court

I'd be writing a letter to the Los Angeles Board of Water and Power Commissioners if things were that unreliable.

And yeah, nothing built before the 1970s energy crisis in California has insulation. Stuff built after that tends to be well-insulated.

Yeah, a huge chunk of the California electric bill is paying for houses burned down after sparks from transmission started fires, and paying to power the risk of that happening again

The author of the piece is a former Republican. They actually flipped sides on the hate thing a few decades ago, but it took a while to get to the point where open Nazism instead of dog whistling was ok

I think it's more like Thiel looking for any reason whatsoever to take down Gawker.

During the KKK era, the Democrats were the ones in favor of hate, while the Republicans were not. The parties radically flipped after the passage of the Civil Rights act as a direct result of Nixon making a decision to support the hate to win elections, though the full flip took decades to play out. We're hitting the end of that now.

Republicans were not always Nazis. The article tries to look at how the change happened

There are regular protests outside their main engineering office in Palo Alto.
