This article introduces itself as deeply opposed to everything decent but then goes on to giving a comprehensive and wonderful explanation of the power and sophistication of Minnesota's local organizers. Lots of details. Amazing stuff.

The far-left network that helped put Alex Pretti in harm's way, then made him a martyr
Encrypted chats show activists tracked ICE agents using a sophisticated database before the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. They then used it to mobilize agitators.

I read Bondi's "Worst of the Worst". 3000 gestapo goons have arrested– Gasp in shock! –THIRTEEN people. But, to prove that it's worth chaos and murder, they include four people that did drunk driving or used a prostitute or fraud.
I don't love having those people around but, "worst of the worst"?

Those claiming Dems should retreat on racial justice aren't hard-headed realists, they're pushing against the electoral tide rather than leaning into it. The story of Gen Z isn't about racist backlash or red-pilled young men. It's the most racially progressive generation in American history. 🧵

Another thing. The fixation on Trump misses a lot. If he dropped dead tomorrow, the government would undergo a radical reshaping consisting of nothing except changing from insane to malign.
We better have a really good November.

The usual reference comparison for Trump is some kind of nazi idea. While it’s true that the racism and intent for brutality compare, I think it misses the mark.
Caligula, that’s better. It includes the insanity and lack of impulse control as well as the above.

Trump has a bigger army. He will win any fight.
Non-violent protest. Gumming up their works. Making them feel humiliated. That is the only only only way that this monster can possibly be stopped.
Make it too much trouble to stay here.

I repeat. Suggesting a violent response to the Federal Government – especially when it’s run by an insane person – is INSANE. Even if you could drive them out, Caligula commands the army and police of the entire country. In any fight, they win.
Non-violent protests will alienate him from everyone.

We are not the first people, or the first country, to suffer under a tyrannical government that does not respect our lives, or our rights.
There is a method for how to effectively resist, and eventually topple, such a regime. We can learn from others who came before us.

This pretty clearly shows that the guy was on his belly being beat on when the ICE guy murdered him (eleven shots just to make sure). How he would have gotten a gun out of his belt or whatever (if he even had one) while on his elbows in an exercise best left to the student.

how can anyone imagine that this guy had a gun? The goon is pushing him. If he was brandishing a gun, he would have been dead well before they started beating him.

AOC: An agency that is attacking U.S. citizens, kidnapping five-year-olds and using them as bait, and privately circulating the idea that they can violate the rights of Americans by busting down their doors—they deserve to be defunded, and I’ll take any step in that direction.

And never forget. It's Trump voters who did this. They are culpable for the destruction of freedom in America and the ruining of world peace.
