It's actually impressive that at no point does the author admit that anyone shouting this was right. You were never right. You were wrong for 10 years. In fact, you're still not right. Let the level-headed people who took a decade to figure this out do the talking.

Every Dem in Congress needs to have a "Days Since I Was Outflanked By Bill Kristol" counter in their office.
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.

It's also about convincing you that they impose reality and that they are the final arbiters of truth. Hence the importance of continuing to name reality and truth ourselves, at every single turn, with all that is available to us.
Every lie told by this regime, no matter how brazen, shocking, or dehumanizing, makes perfect sense when I think about their claim that immigrants were eating pets in Ohio. It's not about evidence or credibility, it's about pushing narratives to facilitate ethnic cleansing.

Bellingcat, as expected, has excellent frame-by-frame analysis. If the man had a gun, he never wielded it.
Footage taken moments before a struggle shows that the man was filming, holding a phone in his right hand, backing up. His left hand is up, visible, palm facing out, as he backs away from the area. An agent uses his right hand, on the torso of the victim, pushing him back, while the man complies.

I really really REALLY don't get how it's been so hard to convince so many people that the guy we ALL SAW try to use violence (clumsily) to seize power four years ago would, after having four years to get ready to do it better, be willing to use violence to consolidate and seize power again.

Looking at the video footage so far I think its questionable whether he was armed at the moment he was killed.
Even presuming this is true, possessing a gun is completely legal if he had the appropriate permit. They're not even claiming he pulled it or brandished it, just that he had one. That's no reason to execute someone.

the video of another person being murdered by the state on the streets of minneapolis shows exactly what people are saying it shows. make your own choices but don’t feel like you are obligated to bear witness to it. reading a description is enough.

It's become clear that one of the many reasons Minneapolis was the wrong target to pick is that it still has an independent newspaper

I don’t know why this is so hard for people but people you have to repeatedly call and beg to ask them to oppose murder in the streets will never really be on your side

in trying to understand what makes ICE and CBP so dangerous right now, it is tempting to imagine some new lack of training or experience or professionalism—and not grapple with the truth that a white nationalist movement has put more power and force behind their existing mission

Interesting how all the gun rights absolutism melts away in defense of federal death squads -- who are allegedly the reason for gun rights absolutism.
Early DHS spin (via Fox News) is that the person shot repeatedly by Border Patrol officers in Minneapolis was armed -- note that open carrying firearms is legal with a permit and notably, they are not (yet at least) claiming that the person fired or even brandished a gun, just had one.

The grimness of US history should encourage us. Yes, people used to send lynching postcards. And other people saw that, worked towards building a more just society anyway, and succeeded beyond anyone's wildest imagination. There's more work to be done. What's our excuse for choosing despair instead?
I understand and appreciate the fact that for some it is genuinely uncomfortable and distracting to think about how grim US history is. yes, that is strategically relevant, and no, I wouldn't put "did you know people used to send lynching photos to each other as postcards?" on a recruitment flyer
