I skeet about politics A LOT.
I’m a feminist who is obsessed w/the Humanities. All of them. I get kinda (non religiously) preachy sometimes. Apologies in advance.

Just so people outside of MN know - a lot of the US citizens getting “arrested” by ICE never get processed at Whipple. They are roughed up during the arrest and then often dropped off miles from where they were picked up. It means we don’t know the true scale of what ICE is doing based on ICE stats

I’ve heard people say that b/c we weren’t a true Democracy prior, we’re doomed. I highly disagree. Rights align w/privilege but our majority perceived Democracy. That majority contributed to our present but now they’re experiencing the fall 1st hand. The fall is what radicalizes.

Brad Lander is a real one.
ICE must be abolished. It has become a lawless, rogue agency. Federal law enforcement agencies must follow the law, if they're going to have any credibility enforcing it.
We are demanding justice for Renee Good and the prosecution of ICE agent Jonathan Ross for her murder.

It’s time to demand our leaders and politicians stop talking about non-violence, and start demonstrating more physical courage by DOING non-violence in the streets.
So far, all the courage has come from ordinary people, and almost none from our leaders and politicians.
Peaceful protest requires leaders willing to put their own bodies on the line.
Walz has that option. All of our leaders do.

DHS policy is clear: Officer are prohibited from firing if safe alternatives exist (stepping aside).
So the central question of legality and DHS compliance is: Could the officer have stepped aside?
He stepped aside. He fired. He killed.

Every day, I read/hear “He’ll use Y to call insurrection & cancel mid terms” & I know it’s the intent but:
1. It’s an Admin of liars. They may fabricate. 2. Idk that 10 mo’s of escalation is feasible? 3. He’s not a graceful loser so what follows?
Idk the answer but I hate feeling controlled.
