This is what Dem leaders need to understand. The murder yesterday and the shootings today in Portland are the result of POLICY. This is exactly what they intend. If you collaborate with the GOP in any way, blood is on your hands too.

The more people you can get to campaign for democratic or progressive candidates the better. Whether the race they’re highlighting is for town council or US senate, it’s still important . Not everyone is motivated by the same things to show up on Election Day.

So. We've learned a little more about the shooting, namely that witnesses report that the two ICEholes that got out of the truck gave the driver conflicting orders; one to leave and one to get out of her vehicle.
First, here is DHS Use of Force policy in full.

Week 1. We invaded Venezuela. We killed the ACA subsidies. We destroyed the Kennedy Center. We murdered a woman in cold blood over deportations. We threatened Greenland, now we are offering them $100,000 per person to allow us to take over their country.
First 7 days. Can we survive a year of this?

This week: we execute a U.S. citizen.
Next week: we take over elections to stop “fraud.”

Finally saw a doctor. They think this distress could be an acute, condition, easily solved with medicine. They’re gonna test. The pain and terror I’ve been under thinking it’s cancer or another auto chronic condition. Hope they’re right! 🤞

Watching from a different country, it's always been a bit of an eye roll when all the gun freaks in the US kept saying we need them to protect against a bad government and it's been made clear with all this shit is what a lot of us knew...it was really about "protecting against brown people" racism.

I've been reading the news for hours today, same as everyday for months. Things just keep getting worse and worse.
There is not a single Republican in our government that deserves to continue their service and damn few Democrats.
A vote for a Republican is against the Constitution.

I'll die on the hill that this is why even pretending the official talking points have any grounding in reality is dangerous.
This is also a field test.
If the press lets them muddy the waters on executing a woman in Minneapolis despite multiple witnesses and video recordings clearly depicting what happened, the message they'll take away is that there's nothing they can't get away with.
