Today, for the two-year anniversary of MAKING STEREO FIT’s release, I’m going to share something cool about it. And that’s this HELL’S ANGELS (1930) finding.

The majority of organizing happening in Minnesota isn’t just peaceful, it’s INVISIBLE. Moms showing up who won’t be interviewed on TV, people whose ICE patrols don’t turn into viral video. The grocery runs, the donations, the people filming bc they happen to be there. Please remember this.

Hello I’m the ubermensch, my one weakness is whistles
Whistles are now WMDs, according to the "high IQ" crowd.

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

Because he lacks the strength of character and self-esteem necessary to admit that he was wrong, and wrong in a way that directly contributed to this present outcome. For a weak person it’s easier to blame others than to accept personal responsibility.
During his trip to Minnesota, Hasan Piker claims that Kamala Harris would have done the exact same things Trump is doing right now to the American people. Why is he so fixated on this?
From the LivestreamFail community on Reddit: Hasan goes to MN just to say Kamala wouldve done the same thing 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

People are less afraid of them the more people they murder, which isn't sustainable for tyranny

The fact that we don't yet know their identities is a problem.

The media should cover sport the way they cover the state murder of civilians:

‘Jannik Sinner appeared to win the French Open yesterday after what supporters say was a comeback from being two sets down.’

I hope that Democrats realize what’s happening in Minnesota is also a dry run for what the regime has planned for the midterms.

Remember the Bundy insanity during the Obama years? Armed guys occupied a federal office and one of their buddies took position with a sniper rifle aimed at federal agents?

Exactly how many of those guys were shot and killed?

Remembering how cops tossed Kyle Rittenhouse - who was open carrying a semiautomatic rifle - a bottle of water and told him, “We appreciate you… we really do”

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

AOC: "An ICE officer had violently pushed a woman to the ground and he had come over to help get her up and that is what precipitated this incident that very quickly led to an execution in the streets. What we are seeing here is a momentous pivotal moment for the United States."

Congress cannot fund a Department of Homeland Security that is unapologetically murdering Americans; running a "baby prison" in Texas for the purpose of traumatizing little kids; acting like the law and truth don't exist.

We swore an oath to uphold the law.

BASH: Why was an unarmed man shot multiple times by your Border Patrol agents?

BOVINO: Dana, you don't know he was unarmed. I don't know he was unarmed. That's freeze frame adjudication. That's why we have an investigation.

BASH: It's not a freeze frame

Anyone know anything more about the Woke Hoth guy? He deserves credit for these words if he wants it.

Wake up. Make breakfast. Do email. Watch a murder. Go to a party for a 5 year old. Laugh with my daughter. See a different angle of that murder. Hear govt officials slander the victim. Play Barbies with my kid. Feed her dinner. Tear up at that victim reading last honors to a vet. Put kid to bed. USA

And it’s not an “immigration enforcement crackdown.” The racial purge squads are IGNORING, not enforcing, immigration laws and other laws. It is a white supremacist assault by the Trump regime’s white supremacists death squads.

Since July, I've tracked at least 2,300 cases in which federal judges have ruled ICE has illegally detained people without bond or due process.

This is one that stands out:

I’m calling them “the racial purge squads,” not “the feds.” When we regain control of the US, “the feds” will be mopping up and neutralizing all of these criminals. For us. For our America. I don’t want “feds are bad” imprinted on all the smoothbrains out there.

Saying there must be trials isn't just an emotive aspiration.

Congress can:
- Create a new court (complying w/ 6A jury vicinage)
- Give it jurisdiction over defined category of crimes
- Also create dedicated prosecutors for the same
- Strip SCOTUS of appellate jurisdiction

It can be done.

I feel like the best way to respond to ICE through financial means.

So I'm wondering what it would take for insurance companies to cancel their homeowners, car, and life insurance.

If you don't have an answer, don't say it can't be done. Surely State Farm, etc have policies and clauses somewhere.
