The only insurrection act we need to pay attention to is the ongoing one that started J6, and is being perpetrated out of our own WH by criminals who kill moms, fishermen, nurses, us. #WETHEPEOPLE #THISISUNACCEPTABLE

Trump tried everything possible to create riots in Los Angeles, Portland and Chicago and failed. Even had film crews in tow to create propaganda videos.
Instead they got peaceful resistance and observers. Upped ante in Minnesota hoping for George Floyd murder response.
Failed again. Miserably.

Today's Service at church was based upon the Beatitudes, "Blessed are the meak" (or for Monty Python fans "blessed are the cheese makers")
And after the other worship leaders sermon I was left with the following thought.
"I'd rather be excluded for who I include, then included for who i exclude"

Abolish ICE.
There’s no reforming it.
There’s no compromise.
There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

Especially bad news for Atlantans, but also bad news for all of us and democracy. As more and more cities become increasingly unreported, ordinary corruption has an ever more open field into which to cohere into local authoritarianisms, rippling out and up.
Even more bad news for Atlanta local journalism: @atlpresscollective.com, which has extensively covered "Cop City", ICE, and Flock cameras, and a finalist for the @inn.org Insight Award for Visual Journalism, announced today that they have run out of cash to stay open beyond the end of March.

There is no way in hell the United States under the Trump regime can host the World Cup in a few months.
They are murdering citizens in broad daylight, threatening war against NATO, and lawlessly kidnapping children and foreign heads of state.
The world has to organize a boycott. It’s not safe.

As it happens, Alex Pretti apparently had a carry permit. THAT DOESN'T MATTER, because he *didn't draw a gun.* Even had he possessed an illegal gun, this would still be murder. His alleged gun is a DHS red herring; it doesn't matter. We do not need to debate it one way or other.
