Make no mistake, the immigration enforcement operations in Minnesota are only a training ground for how to undermine civil rights for us all. Everyone is ok targeting te immigrant populations because they are "illegal" or live in a gray area of legality. But eventually these same tools will be used against us.

Then argue for democratically changing the law to make them unambiguously legal.

Selectively enforcing only the laws you want to is the key enabler of corruption.

Congress has been neutered and there's been efforts to ensure that it stays that way.

Congress hasn't been neutered, they can reclaim their power at any time. Republicans in power simply refuse to act at all.

That they neutered themselves doesn't make them any less neutered.

I'm skeptical about their ability to reclaim it, too. Lots of them remember being terrified and running away Jan 6, even if many now pretend not to... and SCOTUS has been on a tear wiping out long-standing legislation Congress was quite clear about like the Voting Rights Act.
