Just staggered by the complete moral void of not even *pretending* to wait for more information before pivoting to “the opponent of the state deserved it.” It is so insanely depraved. Soulless.

KNOW THE DIFFERENCE: Minnesota National Guard under Gov Walz's command will not be wearing facemasks and will have reflective vests on. This will distinguish them from the people cosplaying for ICE/CBP/DHS.

Miller is as mentally ill as Trump is. He no longer can distinguish between the dark fantasies that bounce around in his mind and the real world around him.
Stephen Miller calls the deceased “a domestic terrorist.”

Polling this week has turned sharply against Trump/ICE. Republicans are getting nervous. We must act boldly, aggressively now, with the goal of getting ICE to leave Minnesota and start acting within the law. There can be no confusion now about where we stand. 5/

Videos analyzed by NYT appear to contradict accounts given by Homeland Security. They said the man approached Border Patrol agents with a handgun and the intent to "massacre" them. Footage of the encounter shows the man holding a phone in his hand, not a gun, when agents take him to the ground.

If you're wondering why the Dem Party just seems inept, I think this is the best explanation.
There is no party. There is a fundraising machine masquerading as a party.

For three decades now the party has given up local organizational presence in favour of an electoral get out the vote model. The leadership is built for fund raising, stumping, and legislative work. They do not bear any semblance to the idea of local surgeries or constituency mobilization.

By my count, 37 of 47 Democratic US Senators have already tweeted about the MN shooting (all critical), 14 of whom included opposition to ICE funding in pending appropriations bill.
Only 3 of 54 Republican Senators have tweeted about the incident.

There is no such thing as a fucking "immigration problem"
I grew up in a town full of undocumented immigrants, the family of my best friend in kindergarten was undocumented, undocumented immigrants were a net positive for our community

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

Nonviolence is, in fact, working. This administration is weaker than it was a year ago. More and more of the public is becoming galvanized against it; its agents are being impeded.
Do you honestly think people in the civil rights movement and other nonviolent movements faced no violence themselves? They practiced nonviolence because it works, because the oppressor wants a shooting war, which is the war it will win
How's your non-violent working Mr Gandhi stancil? They will kill each and everyone of you right if they had the chance and you will still be writing Kumbaya.
