Many are arguing that they wouldn't be acting this way if they thought they were subject to free & fair elections.
Plausible. But another explanation is that they see the writing on the wall--generational backlash--and they're attempting increasingly desparate hail marys

MAGA was clearly like “Wait, they’re immigrants? AND they’re black? This is the jackpot, the most exploitable minority in America” and now Somalis are abruptly more directly targeted for persecution by the US government than any ethnic group in almost a century

Minneapolis is an incredible city that despite everything, works because of its wonderful people. Of course the administration wants to kill that.
late patrol shifts on cedar ave always make me emotional because I just watch all the shop keepers closing up—sweeping off the day, turning out the lights—one by one down the row. The overwhelming normalcy of it all makes me sad. I wish the world could see how normal it all is.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.
This could be you.

a lot of us forgot that the main reason racism is unacceptable is because it’s a fast-track to the end of human civilization, not because it’s uncouth. people will look back on this as an exceptionally stupid failure of memory and imagination, both.

Even in the most charitable interpretation, giving up Minneapolis’s prerogative to investigate the homicide seems to expose a misunderstanding of the dynamics of the situation.

Just yesterday DHS was taunting us on social media. Now they've come to our city and killed a legal observer. How much more can we take? We are being invaded and shot by our own government for the purposes of generating content for a mob of Nazis on the internet.
