Trump's thugs are going hog wild and tossing gas around in one of the busiest commercial districts in Minneapolis, just a mile or so from where I live. Complete insanity.

Someone sent me this video of Trump’s goons in action today in the Twin Cities. The audio is disturbing.

He's just straight up rationalizing that it's OK for them to murder people over "hateful rhetoric."
"Contempt of cop" is not, in fact, a crime, especially not one that warrants summary execution on the streets.

WELKER: What do you see in that video?
HOMAN: I've said from March -- if the hateful rhetoric doesn't decline there's going to be bloodshed. And unfortunately I was right. You gotta put yourself in the mind of the officer.

We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

The decision has been made to break an American city. It is an experiment. We must do all we can (legally) to help Minneapolis hold on.
if you want to know what it is like in minneapolis, I don’t even have to scroll on facebook to find a horror story. it’s basically my whole feed.
everyone i know in minneapolis is seeing ICE take people—at gas stations, taquerias, bus stops, schools. just snatching random people.

Stoke fear. Exploit desperation. Suspend the rule of law. Fan brutality.
Every time the stronger brutalize the weak, it’s fundamentally the same playbook.
Our duty is to stand up to brutality.
Our moral obligation is to protect the vulnerable and hold the powerful accountable.
