Klansmen wore hoods
This is why they mask. It isn’t about safety. It’s because they know that if decent people learn what they do, they’ll be social outcasts.
According to Jonathan Ross’s unnamed neighbor in suburban Minneapolis, he told her in 2020 that he was a botanist.

It’s de-escalation. And it’s grounded in the social science of violence. 🧵

Another day of hyper violent conduct by ICE agents, coupled with loads of acts of vandalism.
They don't seem to realize that the video of them abusing a legal observer is probably worse than whatever video the legal observer had already obtained of them.
New video shows ICE agents detaining a US citizen legal observer in Minneapolis.
The agents smashed his car window, dragged him out, and placed a knee on his neck.

This is completely fucking unacceptable. Shut this terrorist government down until it stops brutalizing its own citizens.
Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

Trump is pulling on every lever at his disposal to rig elections in his favor, but state lawmakers can block rightwing power grabs and protect the voice of voters. THIS is why building governing power in state legislatures matters now more than ever. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Trump is trying to change how the midterm elections are conducted
Many of these endeavors go far beyond typical political persuasion, challenging long-established democratic norms.

The stated reason for ICE agents being in Minnesota is because of the ongoing fraud claims around daycare and other services.
The two prosecutors leading those investigations have now resigned in the wake of Renee Good’s shooting. Even the internal supposed logic of this deployment is falling apart
