Minneapolis this morning
Initial report is that two observers got into a shoving match with eight agents, one observer was wrestled to the ground, and then an ICE agent pulled out a sidearm and shot the man on the ground five times.

Here's a tip. ICE has reportedly been faking and switching license plates on cars, so if you see ICE run their plate www.nhtsa.gov/recalls and if the year, make, and model don't match, report them to your local and state authorities.

"The...Namibian genocide was the extermination of the Herero and the Nama people in German South West Africa (now Namibia) by the German Empire between 1904 and 1908. Around 40,000 to 80,000 Hereros (80 percent of their prewar population) and 10,000 Nama (half of their prewar population) died."

I do actually think that the insistence that it’s *not* anything to do with the Nazis involves some antisemitism and Holocaust denial. then people saying oh the Nazis were just copying the US, which essentially denies another genocide (of Africans). It makes my Black Jewish head hurt.
