it is impossible for mayors or cops to learn positive lessons about protest response because they all have two immovable beliefs:
1. it is evil and childish to hold police officers accountable for violent acts
2. cops must be present at all times during protests

The lesson Frey and Walz were supposed to learn in 2020 was that sending riot police to a peaceful protest creates a confrontation that results in some dipshit cops shooting people in the eye with a gas canister which then we have to goddamn pay for in settlements while also our city burns.

The federal government is severing all the ties with Minnesota, as well as other blue states because the federal government is is at war against the democratically held free states that still oppose it.
The fascists plan to start the war here.

The USDA just cut off ag aid to MN
They’re targeting and invading Minnesota. Cutting off all of our federal funding and flooding our state with federal agents with no purpose. They’re here to terrorize, cause chaos to justify their unlawful cruelty. Enough.

One thing we're NOT going to do is wallow in doom and hopelessness right when countless people are joining the fight against our enemies.
The situation is awful. That's why so many people are angry, and why they're mobilizing.
You can let the horrors overwhelm you, or you can let them fuel you.

I was very clear from minute 1: the democrats had to deny, delay, and obstruct EVERY SINGLE THING the regime did. Instead, they chose to actively support the fascist takeover. The nazi bar is in the house. And the senate. Useless shills. They deserve our contempt.

We have no idea how many people have actually died in this regime's detention camps, both in the US and overseas.
There have been nine ICE shootings. There will be more. I think it may be time to consider these actions in the historical context of the Central American death squads supported by previous iterations of U.S. imperialism. And ICE's hostile incursion into "blue" cities as a form of imperialism, too.

Marimar Martinez was shot five times by an ICE officer in Chicago who went on to brag about leaving seven holes in her body.

Your reminder that what happened to Renee Nicole Good is something that happens regularly in America. This is not new, but it is an expanded version of militarized people targeting Black people in particular.
From ICE detention to murder with impunity, we've been doing it. Now it's broadened.

every couple years, newcomers to the movement think "THIS is finally it, the moment when the dam breaks and the whole system is overthrown"
and when it doesn't happen they lose patience and get disillusioned and drop out of movement work
gotta build for long term

The crowd of is continuing to snake its way through downtown.

1. Good news for trans people in Vermont.
A bill was just filed that would fund private trans youth care clinics across the state.
It would be a major shield from Trump funding threats which have caused hospitals to shut their doors.
But it has to pass first.

It's very clear from the commentary exploding on the timeline right now that hardly anyone outside Chicago knows ICE shot and killed a man in his car here in the fall.
It's probably not your fault—too much news.
But if you're choosing to jump in & *report* today, please contextualize. Thanks.
