It's a mug's game to argue with these people but what could the state of
Minnesota have done here. Pretti did nothing, nothing! Wrong. If MPD were helping an ethnic cleansing campaign, he'd have been out with a whistle observing them too.

Blanche: "Remember, what we all saw in that 10 or second video is not the full story. Every American should know that. The story goes way beyond that. It starts with the fact that literally for months we have received 0 assistance from the state of Minnesota."

This is one of the things that I find is most shocking to people outside Minnesota who don’t realize it yet—the scale at which everyone who isn’t white has been forced into a spectrum of hiding.
Very good article drawing out the Tahrir Square comparison.

We need to get it broadly understood that Stephen Miller's ethnic cleansing will result in a permanent metastasized immigrant carceral state and paramilitary warfare on US streets that goes on *for years.*
The internal logic of his agenda dictates this of necessity.

I have no doubt at some point an ICE agent will be shot. It'll likely be by a generally libertarian right leaning extremely confused, extremely online guy in his early 20s. It will set off the worst round of discourse of all time and possibly civil war.

OKC bombing response Bill Clinton. He truly hated to see guys and is a very effective communicator when not self sabotaging.
Can’t believe I‘m saying this, but Bill Clinton put out a pretty powerful statement about the killings in Minneapolis.

I'm descended from cabbage farmers (fart noise)
The VCs bros have convinced themselves they are on some moral crusade. They will be behind the scenes trying to cling to power in the midterms and beyond.
Side note, they are also the biggest bunch of dorks
