Too obvious a point even to make, perhaps. But there was no “unrest” in Minneapolis before ICE and CBP showed up. ICE and CBP are the cause of the chaos…and the killings.
Get them out of there.

A gentle reminder that the disinformation trolls are A/B testing the best lines to use against those honestly reacting to today's news NOW, and later this afternoon you will see words propagating that try to stem the outrage here.

It’s an under appreciated aspect of US political history that a significant chunk of right-leaning “anti-communists” from the 1950s on have harbored suspicions (rarely articulated publicly and unapologetically until recently) that we may have fought on the wrong side of WWII.
These pathetic worms imbibed constant WWII documentaries and decided to sell their souls to the Nazis anyway.

Whistleblowers just shared a memo showing DHS instructing ICE to force their way into peoples' houses without a proper warrant. Why is this not on all the networks right now? This is a criminal conspiracy to violate rights under color of law.

telling the secret police they have immunity to harm & kill citizens really lays bare the hollowness of decades of right-wing GOP screeching about encroaching Big Government - it was never a problem they had with government per se, just that it wasn't being used to harm the people they wanted to

Not a historian but like to research. The AI might summarize what I'm looking for, but it doesn't find what I'm *not* looking for. The book on the shelf next to the one I wanted. The insight in chapter 6 based on the quote I needed from chapter 4.

Not only are X users marinating in a disinformation bubble, but viewing the posts of bots on X actively contributes American funds to overseas bot farms because of its financial reward system.
If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”
Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

Sooo disappointed in Bob Rae and Canada.
Dear Bob Rae,
You don't get paid to sit and listen. You get paid to stand up for Canadian values.
During the brutal Russian invasion of Ukraine you used the word genocide numerous times.
The UN has found Israel guilty of genocide.
You're our ambassador.
Why the silence?
