Anderson Cooper is gentle as she recounts how her phone & whistle don't feel like enough.
And yet, with them, she created irrefutable evidence of Alex Pretti's murder. And now gives a sincere & articulate call for justice.

I think it's interesting that just hours ahead of @theverge.com reporting that OpenAI's president has donated $25 million to Trump that Katie Miller was over on Twitter falsely trying to clam that actually, the AI companies are biased against conservatives (the opposite of reality).

The problem with ICE is not insufficient training or even training content.
It’s creating an agency where you give people guns and tell them to terrorize Brown people and then recruit people excited to do that.

Hey @schumer.senate.gov! No DHS funding bill until Miller, Noem, and Homan are out and you have some non-fascist nominees.
if bovino is out and conservatives are turning on noem then there is a real opportunity to demand that miller resign too.

The regime obviously thought they'd be able to take out a few dozen scary-queer-weirdo Antifa types in black masks and then successfully cow the rest of the Coastal Elite Liberal class into terrified silence: they were not expecting "totally fearless mass nonviolent resistance by entire cities."
It also sounds like at least some of them thought the cameras wouldn't matter because they were assuming that a couple of public executions would cause all of the resistance to run and hide.

- Organized a city wide general strike
- Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence
- Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE
- Flipped public opinion against ICE

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.

Remember that the legal standard for deadly force is whether the agent reasonably believed that he was in imminent danger of death or serious bodily injury.
That is the only question that matters. And that standard is plainly not met by what we see in the video.
