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.

Frey: "I think the initial impetus to come to MN was to arrest & deport a bunch of Somali people. They got here & realized the Somali people that would be deported are all citizens. Then they turned their ire toward our Latino community & others. These are communities that make Mpls a better place."

Absolutely insane that my life has become texting with local church pastors to try and find a safe place to hold an emergency meeting for parents at my kid’s’ preschool to figure out how to respond to the federal government kidnapping neighbors.

All the chaos happening in the US today is downstream of our not prosecuting the people who organized January 6. We taught them instead that institutions were too weak to resist lies. That's why we're won't be able to unwind today's mess without dealing with Jan 6 too: to cut out the cancer. 3/

The Proud Boys who kicked off the Capitol attack were a synthetic organization created to have fake street fights. They weren't organic; it was always an op. Joe Biggs, who marched 200+ men to the Capitol, was an InfoWars "journalist".

People need to understand that this was the point of January 6 too: create havoc in the Capitol, then use it as an excuse to adopt fake elector slates. ("Decisions needed to be made to avoid chaos!") Many lawmakers knew that was coming. And many people worked to ensure the havoc would happen. 1/

Agents like this should be identified and their name and picture posted on a searchable web site with videos and content like this linked to their names
A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."
The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

Great piece by my Cato colleague. “Since July, immigration agents have shot at least six people behind the wheel of a vehicle. The same playbook is used each time: the agent says they “feared for their life” as a vehicle was “weaponized” against them. Juries should decide, but we tie their hands.
Opinion | Renee Good wasn’t the first person shot in her car by ICE. The justification followed a familiar script.
Mike Fox: The officer who shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis might never have to defend his actions before a judge or jury.

it’s incredibly important to note that on the new footage that came out from the ICE agent himself, halfway through the video he switches his phone between his hands, opening up to grab his gun way before renee good even starts driving

Please understand what it means when journalists are evacuating their family members out of town.
In any other country, we would be approaching "foreign sanctions" territory

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 guy who shot Marimar Martinez, which resembles Renee Good's shooting in many ways, shouted "Do something bitch" as he shot her.
He is also a weapons instructor.

In the video that the shooter took, which I believe was leaked to be exculpatory, he appears to yell “fucking bitch” after he shoots Renee Good.

This was filmed by a friend near Chicago and Lake last night.
