"...we're dealing with a massive national gang of lying murderers. It's an uncomfortable fact, but it's the reality. If we are to get out of this situation, our dealings with Republicans ought to be informed by that reality."
Today I wrote about a good man summarily executed on the streets by Republican death squads, and how, given the inevitable alternatives, even tyrants should hope for a people's liberation from tyranny. www.the-reframe.com/the-shovel-n...

Liberation from tyranny is also liberation for the tyrants.

An insane, perfect encapsulation of it all:
The same day Trump’s agents kill a Veterans Affairs ICU nurse in broad daylight, the CEOs of Apple and Amazon join Trump to watch a private screening of a film about his wife directed by an alleged sexual abuser who was seen shirtless in the Epstein Files

Feels like given DHS making up stories about what we can plainly see in the murder videos, we have to just presume every other death under their purview is also murder.

A lot of the shit ICE and CPB agents do in public is consistent with violent drunks given impunity, and we know for a fact they're recruiting from a criminal underclass element, for lack of better candidates, and already depended heavily upon semi-underclass failed cops even before Trump.

Paul explains here that if he did this to a Taliban combatant in Afghanistan, after having clearly disarmed him, he would have been court-martialed and gone to jail.
Worth listening to him. He's angry. Everyone should be.

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.

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

Correct and I think this is finally starting to break through: people taking action in Minneapolis are not, in most cases, "protesters"
We are observers, not protestors. We show up to document and film the atrocities ICE is committing. Using 5 year olds as bait. Kidnapping senior citizens. Breaking down doors without warrants. Murdering poets and nurses. Media has all of that information because *observers* were there to document it

The man who shot Renee Good is exactly the sort of person they want throughout DHS
![As Drew Harwell and Joyce Sohyun Lee recently reported for The Washington Post, this has become an explicit tactic within the agency, circulated in what DHS calls its "wartime recruitment" strategy. They note that DHS' plan was to direct recruitment efforts at "people with an interest in 'military and veterans' affairs,
'physical training,' or 'conservative news and politics, and [to] target people whose lifestyles are 'patriotic' or 'conservative-leaning." DHS also aimed to attract conservative radio show listeners and social media users with interests in “conservative thought leaders, gun rights organizations [and] tactical gear brands."
This is an administration built on a fundamentally violent worldview, nourishing violent impulses within the national community and seeking out the most brutish among us to implement its draconian policies.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hafxlnw235qrcil2lpohp2ly/bafkreic37fyagzivmgrkj6fjjsjxbjppbyaq6fr52uit6puwywb54u27qe@jpeg)
