If a commentator has more heat for protestors than for the fascists they are protesting they are on the wrong side and their advice should be ignored (and/or ridiculed).

it’s such a weird conceit of American journalism to enforce the batshit idea that people will only trust us to tell the truth if we ostentatiously lie about our (supposed lack of) personal opinions

The feds kidnapping and trafficking people is a violent crime. Protesting it is fighting back against abuses of power. The government claiming protestors started the violence is DARVO—Deny, Attack, and Reverse Victim and Offender. It’s what abusers do when they face consequences.

One way to think about this: Imagine Moran had tweeted that Miller is a "world-class policy mind" or something equally complimentary. Would ABC News have suspended him? Not on your life.

I bet it'd be easier for Americans to see ICE agents as just regular folks if they weren't, you know, wearing black masks and hiding their names and identities from the public out of shame.

ICE is a much greater threat to this country than illegal immigrants. The current administration ia by far the greatest threat this country faces. The problem is not st our borders. It is in the White House.

I think nuance and respectful disagreement can be found on a lot of issues, but ICE isn't one of them. Fuck ICE. I'm rooting for their abject failure and personal misery. May the people of Los Angeles send these discount gestapo hacks packing.

1/ If accurate, this is almost certainly a conflict with the Posse Comitatus Act, which prohibits the use of the military for domestic law enforcement, including the National Guard if they are federalized.
