Leaked documents about ICE deployment to Minneapolis suggests they're more worried about the backlash to Renee Good's death than they're letting on:

It would take a two-word amendment to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 to subject ICE agents and other federal law enforcement officers to the same liability for constitutional violations that local and state officers currently face.

If Congress actually cared about what it's seeing, it could pass that overnight.

Want to Stop ICE? Go After Its Corporate Collaborators.
ICE can’t function without help from the private sector. So we should force the private sector to stop helping.

This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia.

Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.”

Really listen to it.

“They said they didn’t care.” The new reality. The tipping point may be behind us.
Rep. Angie Craig: "We were told because this facility is being funding by the 'Big Beautiful Bill,' not the congressional appropriations act, that we would not be allowed to enter the facility. That's complete nonsense ... I informed them they were violating the law. They said they didn't care."

So now I know why I’m so emotionally exhausted today.
If you’re like me, you’re probably struggling not to crash out—an emotional overload in response to the chaos that imperial decline invites. But know this: If they can shoot a white woman in the face like it’s no big deal, they can and will do it to you. www.un-diplomatic.com/p/the-emotio...
The Emotional Stress of Imperial Decline
No empire is permanent. No “great” power remains so forever. But I missed the history lesson that would’ve prepared me for the emotional turmoil of the end of the world.

We’ve passed the tipping point.
The goal here is martial law. It’s martial law. Let’s be clear about that.

Ex-Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura: “We’re a 3rd world country now. I know. I’ve been to ‘em. I spent 17 months in SE Asia while the draft dodger was playing golf… that’s what happens in a dictatorship. In comes the military. That’s what’s happening here.” 🇺🇸

The evidence is increasingly pointing to the probability that an ICE agent killed a woman after misreading her as a threat because he was distracted by his simultaneous effort to record her so he could upload her image to a facial recognition database.
We've analysed this video of the shooting of Renee Nicole Good yesterday in Minneapolis frame-by-frame to highlight the positioning of the gun and phone in the ICE agent's hands.

"What conceivable abuse ... would give Klobuchar an easier opportunity to simply believe in right and wrong—or even to mount a cynical performance of believing in right and wrong—than a masked goon whipping out a pistol and murdering one of her own constituents, on video, over nothing?"

He’s leading this all so well.
Walz: "I will continue to press that we be part of the investigation, that we do the investigation, so that Minnesotans can trust what the outcome is ... very very difficult to Minnesotas to think in any way this is going to be fair when Kristi Noem was judge, jury, and executioner yesterday."

The NYTimes decides to become a mouthpiece for Trump.
NYT got Trump to lie to them for hours last night, it was so cool! Biden never did that! So they sanewashed the rambling “interview” into many articles praising how cool it is for them to have access to the president, and how awesome Trump is. They are collaborating for peanuts.

Back in May 2020, I filmed the local Fremont, Ohio BLM/George Floyd vigil. I think for a town of 16,000, about 1,000 people showed up. Sadly, it seems like we may have a repeat. But maybe this time, instead of electing do nothing politicians. We can get a better system.
