An entire community of thousands, here legally, having been demonized with deranged lies about eating pets, is about to be arbitrarily DECLARED illegal so they can be forcibly ethnically cleansed. I don’t want to hear one more fucking word about comparisons to Nazi Germany being overwrought.

Body cams won't change police violence but it does make it harder to frame people. I have been targeted by my city's cops since 2018. As an activist I have been arrested or detained around 15 times here. Since the body cams implementation I have not been framed or arrested once. I'm safer.

Sometimes you look at Democrats and think "You've spent so long accepting lesser evils that you don't even consider anymore if you have to accept an evil at all."

I think elected officials should have a strategy if approached by Kevin Dahlgren.
"Oh, so you're Kevin Dahlgren, the guy who was convicted of stealing from homeless people when you had a job of providing services to homeless people. I'm sorry, no, I will not meet with you."

Amazing statement from the chaplain of the MN Timberwolves, I’m guessing in response to the craven press release co-signed by so many local CEOs today (inc the Timberwolves!) calling for the “deescalation of tensions” here but refusing to assign any specific blame or even *mention* ICE / CBP

I've been studying the history of US, and indeed, global policing my whole career and I can't make it more clear to law makers that this isn't a bastardization of policing, it is its purest form and logical conclusion. The impunity, militarization, deference, legitimacy, racial targeting, etc.

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.
