Where are the libertarians?
They're killing white dudes with guns and demanding your personal information, lads.
Perhaps it's time to get mad about the theoretical thing you've said you've been mad at your whole lives. It's finally real.

🚨BREAKING: Hours after federal immigration officers shot and killed a man in Minneapolis, Pam Bondi seized upon the incident to demand access to voter rolls, directly tying the Trump administration’s quest for voters’ unredacted personal data to its aggressive immigration raids across the state.
AG Bondi demands access to Minnesota voter rolls after fatal Border Patrol shooting
Her demand came as Minneapolis was reeling from a second fatal shooting by a federal agent this month.

You’ll notice the American state media didn’t let President Biden forget his age, didn’t let President Obama get away from pretend tan suit controversy, but they have let the orange felon get away with fraud, raping women and children, treason and now murder. They have failed humanity.

Memory is a fragile thing in this moment, so it is important to keep in mind that Hakeem Jeffries refused to whip his caucus against ICE funding earlier this week.

This is also why they were so intent on shutting down teaching about race. Once folks know there are other options (i.e. not being a fascist) those options become attractive.

Minneapolis police chief Brian O'Hara says that the victim was a 37-year-old white man and US citizen with no criminal record and that he was a legally permitted gun owner.
I'll let you know if I see the National Rifle Association defend the right for the ICE observer to carry a gun.

7 Democrats and 213 Republicans voted to fund a masked, armed terror group to kill US citizens.
For our border "security."
ICE will continue killing because it sees us as the enemy.

I have watched the video of today’s murder several times and I am here to assure you that there were several agents restraining the victim when he was shot, and there is no way they were worried he was going to shoot one. Even if he had a gun, and I think that’s not true, he was not free to use it.

ICE shooting another person is the predictable outcome of an out of control racist agency invading an American city. Abolishing ICE is good policy and a place to start.

ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city.
If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.

Davos wasn’t just another speech. It was a turning point — a moment when Donald Trump openly reframed America’s alliances as assets to be leveraged. I wrote about what this shift means for the West, and for our democracy.
