So it feels very weird to be talking about anything other than the ICE occupation right now, but the ARCs of my new book arrived on Saturday. I'm going to do a giveaway.

ICE caravan racially profiled & deliberately crashed a Latino neighbor's car, fired tear gas at the gathered neighbors, & then let him go with his damaged car as he's a U.S. citizen.
Now they're heading toward nearby George Floyd Square.

Whatever groups Good may or may not have been a part of have no bearing on what happened the day she was killed. Nor would her membership in any group justify her killing.

One thing I’d like to see is my senators and governor every day on tv at 5pm holding a press conference with video of every documented abuse that ICE is doing. Curate all of the witnessing we’re doing and show it to the press.
Local parents groups asking if adults can ride school buses to help protect children from ICE after a special ed bus got stopped this morning. Like a Dirty Harry movie except the villain in the federal government.

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.

A term like "immigration crackdown" is no longer sufficient to describe what's happening in Minneapolis. We're seeing a state terror campaign being waged by the regime's paramilitary forces.
