if you think this is an issue with lack of training, you are out of your fucking mind
Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

Reporter Louis Krauss saw this. An agent apparently dropped a flash grenade that was left with the pin still in it on Park Avenue after driving away in a squad car.

On the 5th Anniversary of the failed January 6th insurrection attempt, we’re reminded how fragile democracy can be. We must remember the darkness of that day so it’s never repeated. As history is rewritten by some, we choose to speak the truth of what happened.

Right-wing influencers made up that Democrats celebrated Charlie Kirk’s murder, and tried an up-is-down lie that they’d never celebrate political violence, then Trump smashed though that Kool Aid Man style—as per his wont—so the influencers are now pretending that’s unusual and that they dislike it.
