I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland.
Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.

If you are a veteran, this kind of visible presence at anti-ICE protests is really valuable.
These clowns all want to play dress-up soldier, so actual soldiers mocking them to their faces is devastating.

When the Trump era ends, and it will, the U.S. should use Germany’s model in how they currently deal with Nazism.
In other words: as close to zero tolerance as a democratic country can get.

Keep filming these assholes. Keep making them famous.
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

This is the heart of it.
Any press coverage that gullibly paints this partisan punitive campaign of retribution as "fighting crime" or "enforcing immigration laws" is actively complicit in a government campaign to punish dissent.

They can't be shamed, but it's still worth it.
Over 100 members of Congress have mounted replicas of a plaque honoring the police officers who defended the U.S. Capitol during the January 6th insurrection outside their offices -- because House Speaker Mike Johnson has disgracefully refused to install the official one.

Trump is cutting the state off from federal funding - daycare, health care, food, and more cuts coming. For why? A punishment. An attack. It's indiscriminate and it's on all of us.
We are under attack. This is the language we need journalists to use. Minnesota is under attack.

Here's the thing. Violence isn’t required, because autocracy depends on compliance...not force alone. When people withdraw consent through mass noncooperation, institutions holding, and legitimacy collapse, power evaporates. History shows regimes fall when obedience stops, not when bloodshed starts.

Looks like ICE is now cracking down on … Native Americans.
This letter was just posted by the chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in North/South Dakota:
“Our Nation is a sovereign government and our members are not immigrants. We are not subject to immigration enforcement on our own lands.”

Not an exaggeration at all to say that the feeling in Minneapolis is that the entire metro area is being treated as occupied territory by federal agents. Impossible to overstate how overwhelmingly people here do not like it. This does not feel sustainable.

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.

She is aggressively trying to turn the wheel AWAY from the ICE agent. It is her very last action. They provoke her, surround her, then kill her in cold blood. I have barely slept since this happened and I don't think I'll ever stop being angry about this.
i have watched the shooter's video. it's going to make you way the fuck madder.
