MA radical left lunatic. Trump is a malignancy. Also weather, climate, science and sci-fi. He-him, and that whole list of banned words.

It takes an enormous amount of courage to stand there, keep filming, and scream "What the fuck, you asshole" at someone wearing a badge who just shot and killed one of your neighbors in cold blood.
I need people to wrap their minds around the fact that here in Minneapolis, ICE broke the window of a vehicle yesterday, pepper sprayed the occupants, and arrested them, and shot another observer in the face today, and OBSERVERS ARE STILL GOING OUT TO PROTECT THEIR NEIGHBORS AT MASSIVE PERSONAL RISK
I’m eating lunch, I’m having a panic attack, I’m charging my phone, and then I’m going back out to try and keep my neighborhood safe.

Worth noting that Minnesota Public Radio is NOT doing that. They're interviewing people on the ground, chasing down witnesses and facts, and treating ICE statements with the appropriate amount of skepticism.
Sigh. The NPR national news brief at the top of the hour mentioned the shooting and simply cited the DHS statement.
I truly don't think mainstream journalists in the U.S are prepared to cover state violence

Keep filming these fuckers. They're trying to lie about it. This video makes that very difficult for them to get away with doing, at least in the eyes of the public.

Cut and dry murder. Arrest the officer right now.
Here are two key frames of the video. (Changed language on the first notation.)

Just prior to this, Mayor Frey said:

“They are already trying to spin this as an action of self defense. Having seen the video myself, I want to tell everybody directly that is
bullshit.”

I know people believe that the Democrats are in the minority and can't do anything. I would encourage you to read about how, in fact, minority parties can be disruptive. If they want to be. You don't even have to read. You can just see how the Republicans acted during the Obama years.

Rep. Doug LaMalfa,who died this morning, was one of 147 Republicans who voted to overturn the 2020 election.

It was defining moment of his political career—one that must not be forgotten on the anniversary of January 6.

In the last several weeks Trump and his regime have essentially announced that they now view Trump as Emperor of the Americas, including the United States of America; and they are no longer bound by Constitution, domestic US law, the UN Charter, International Law, and Senate-ratified treaties.
Here is the Trump Doctrine, as articulated by Stephen Miller in his truly frightening interview with Jake Tapper this afternoon. It is very much like the doctrine of the dictators we fought and defeated in World War II and of Putin today. It is un-American at its very core.

It's becoming standard procedure across all news media to explicitly not mention in the obituary of a Republican member of congress that they voted on Jan. 6, 2021 to overturn the election

The rule of law, at the federal level, is gone. Trump can and will do anything he wants to, with no consequences. We haven’t even begun to see how bad it will get.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.

Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Remember how appalled we all were in 2022 when Russia completely unprovoked attacked Ukraine? That is what we’re doing tonight with Venezuela. We are the bad guys here. Everyone who supports this is supporting unprovoked murder. Fuck every last one of them

This feels like a culmination of several deep pathologies: congressional passivity, executive aggrandizement, national security exceptionalism, politics as theater, war as theater.

When Trump returned to power, some people questioned whether the resistance was dead or his agenda would be met with defiance and backlash.

Thank you for proving them wrong.

Yep, the level of vicious bigotry is extreme and we can cannot give an inch. There is a movement on the far right, supported by billionaires and powerful people in the White House, who want to ethnically cleanse Somalis from the U.S., and we must describe it as such and treat it as such.
This is the "testing the waters" phase of the playbook. The GOP ecosystem targets groups like Somalis, Haitians, and trans people specifically because they've calculated that the average person's passive disapproval won't ever turn into active defense. They're exploiting public apathy.
i'm really having a hard time getting past the "surely we can all agree that Somalis are worse than trash" thing. this feels new and very bad
