This killing seems intentional.
Yesterday, a whole city came out in frigid weather to peacefully demonstrating.
Did Trump, Miller, Bovino, and/or their goons then decide they had to use violence today in response?
Time to convene a grand jury and subpoena the entire chain of communications.

Republicans: everyone must be able to carry any gun at all times,
up to and including high powered rifles, to protect themselves against tyranny
also Republicans, without batting an eye: carrying a gun is unquestionable justification for federal agents to shoot you dead in the street

On top of some obvious things, it's clear the dems in congress don't game anything out. What are you going to do when the murder the next person? And then the next one? and then a member of congress? It's just "vote for this and pray it goes away"

It is genuinely insane to watch capital decide that allowing this shit to go on is better for them than having to allow the FTC to do mild monopoly investigations and require cancellation buttons on websites.

ICE transported witnesses to the building where they are detaining people and tried to block police from the crime scene.
ICE attempted to order local police from the scene of the Minneapolis shooting, but the police chief refused and instructed his officers to preserve the crime scene.

India’s holdings of US Treasury bonds have fallen to a 5-year low as the nation pushes to support its currency and diversify its reserves, Bloomberg reports.
People “are looking to diversify away from US assets, and I would kind of describe it as quiet-quitting of US bonds,” Katie Koch said.

There's probably no way to measure this directly, but I wonder if the surge in precious metals is weakening Trump's support with a certain kind of libertarian/hard money guy, the kind of Ron Paul types that were active in the mid-late 2000's (happy about the metals move but fiscally worried now).

One problem with having so many millionaires billionaires is that they're by definition so out of touch with lived experience and basic reality that they have no human compass anymore. People hate secret police forces kidnapping neighbours. You need to be very isolated to not to know that.
the trump people, business leaders and the dog-brained pundits in nyc and dc saw trump win in 2024 and thought “okay, we’re just gonna do fascism, the argument is over” and they’re all going to slowly wake up to the simple but true counterpoint: nuh uh

It’s not that the Administration has occasionally crossed the line into illegality.
It’s that the Administration is first and foremost a crime syndicate and it’s unusual when it does anything inside the bounds of the law.

Something is deeply wrong if we, as a society, cannot agree that an administration that snatches up children, uses them as bait to hunt down others, is morally repulsive.
