Note that the fascist is not using the pepper spray for crowd control. He is entering a vehicle unimpeded to depart. He is simply using the pepper spray to physically punish an unarmed citizen he doesn't like.
Big clash this afternoon between DHS agents and protesters in a residential street in Minneapolis, following a DHS agent hitting another vehicle. Tear gas was deployed in people’s yards and agents pepper prayed people.

One of the many, many ways people are fighting ICE in Minneapolis is helping neighbors safely shelter at home during a time when abductions are genuinely rampant.

People in Minneapolis are doing *so much* great work
This was incredible. We fed 40 families today. Thank you to @jchavezmpls.bsky.social for helping fundraise, @elitalksmpls.bsky.social for organizing with me, and the dozen people who helped us pack and shop. And thank you to everyone who donated. I have no words.

WSJ investigation: In the past 6 months ICE agents have fired at vehicles 13 times, leading to:

* 8 people shot
* 5 of which were U.S. citizens
* 2 died
* no victims drew a weapon

The playbook: Agents box in a vehicle, block attempts to flee, then fire

rare to see an american politician speak in these terms and it rocks
“When I speak about making our city more affordable, my vision is not limited to the homes that we live in or the child care that we’re making universal — it’s also a vision where we make it possible for working people to afford lives of joy, of art, of rest, of expression.”

Trump’s claim that a witness to Good’s murder was a paid agitator (based on her screaming a lot) makes him sound like the Platonic ideal of the proverbial mind-broke, crackpot uncle.

UNC Chapel Hill's decision to close six area studies centers is the Carolina Way version of Trump withdrawing the US from 66 global organizations -- narrow-minded, ill-considered, and devastating for both the university and the wider world. @unc-ch-aaup.bsky.social

Now SOUTHCOM says 11 people were killed.

They call them "narco-terrorists," we call them what they are: "civilians."

These events highlight that the border was always an arbitrary line between “us” and “them,” with no necessary relationship to geographical boundaries or map divisions.
Border Patrol agents continue to make arrests outside the Whipple building near Minneapolis where protesters have gathered. Didn't see the entire event, but I saw this woman yelling at agents after they made an arrest of someone near her before they arrested and dragged her away.

The elephant in the room, of course, is that if Democrats like Frey really do want ICE out of Minneapolis, they’re going to have to support policies that take away their money and power, that defund them, you might say.

This is excellent coverage: it gives readers context beyond the specific incident, showing a pattern of excessive force, and also documents that DHS keeps using the same and increasingly debunked explanations. Much better than both sidesing the shooting.
Important context for claims that the Nicole Renee Good was obstructing/assaulting officers before she was shot & killed:
