the fundamental thing about the modern world is that the population has an enormous ability to make itself heard--to make trouble for the state and for the elites--because it *matters* and is *organized* and *activated* in way peasants rarely were

this is what the age of mass politics *means*

Observing his actions over a decade, we consistently see him back down or TACO when pushed back. He’s a narcissistic bully. He backed down on Greenland because it was clear at Davos nobody was buying his act. We do need to help MN by broadening the shut downs across the US.

Minnesota ICE-watchers did this.

By relentlessly documenting ICE/BP/DHS abuses—taking on personal risk to do so—they’ve gotten the horrors into more information streams. Got more people to pay attention, undermined Trump regime lies, and shifted the stances of some Democratic officeholders.
man the stuff i am seeing on IG from
the most normie, i don’t really talk about politics accounts suggests something different

I am seeing quite a few nurses calling for a nationwide strike over the killing of Alex Pretti. I think we are seeing one of the largest workforces being radicalized before our very eyes.

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.

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.

Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

This explains why the guy in the gray jacket was running down the street away from the scene immediately after

A DHS statement claimed “an individual approached US Border Patrol officers” with “a handgun” in the Alex Pretti shooting incident. A Bellingcat analysis of the footage appears to show that a gun was taken away from where Pretti was situated by an agent just before the first shot was fired.

Solidarity, particularly across race and class, is Kryptonite for authoritarian regimes. They can only thrive when their us v. them framing is adopted by society at large, and they join as active or passive collaborators with the regime. So the only response they have is to raise the cost of unity
They are telling us in unequivocal terms that if you show solidarity with immigrants who are in the literal crosshairs of Trump/MAGA, you're risking a death sentence.

You know what? Without Repubs House Dems can’t do much. Being pissed because Dems refuse to make 215 greater than 220 will just make you feel helpless

In the last month Dems got Repubs on Epstein, collective bargaining, & ACA subsidies. Because REPUBS are feeling pressure. Repubs are the target

I'm not sure Democrats in D.C. are aware that their base's rage against ICE has reached a level of blinding white-hot intensity.

They're worried about "looking weak" for voting "against law enforcement" when they should be worried a mob of housewives is going to come beat them to death if they do.

Imagine what’s happening in the camps.
Imagine how much they’d be lying about what happened without all the videos showing it from multiple angles.

One thing that irks me: people keep calling the folks on the streets in Minneapolis protestors. They are not generally there to protest, they are there to observe and document. This is the product of organizing and mutual aid. It is telling that these acts of citizenship are seen as protest!

Another horrific ICE shooting in Minneapolis. Man wrestled to the ground by federal agents, then shot multiple times.

It’s remarkable how quickly the “everyone shall be armed” Second Amendment Republicans use the fact that a beaten, defenseless man lying on the ground was (maybe) armed as justification for federal agents to execute him.
