Yesterday, after killing Renee Good, armed federal agents went to a high school and tackled people, handcuffed workers, and teargassed bystanders. Schools are now closed district-wide because ICE and border patrol have created such a dangerous environment

From Gaza to Minneapolis, this is why video documentation is treated as a threat: it makes their lies and cover-ups far harder to sustain.

It’s easy to think that schools in Minneapolis are closed because the Feds murdered someone in the street but no, the actual reason is that while that was happening, the Feds were busy doing other heinous shit across the city like tear-gassing a school

This glib statement is all the more risible when you recall how many law enforcement officers used their vehicles as weapons against protesters in 2020... and how many Republican-dominated states *sought to legalize killing protesters with vehicles* as a reaction to the demonstrations

This week in the Trump admin:

Stephen Miller threatened to take over Greenland.
RFK Jr. slashed childhood vaccine recs.
ICE shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis.

Yep. And all the guardrails, norms, and “adults in the room” have just vanished, while mainstream media is still normalizing it and him.
Now that Trump says Venezuela will hand over 30-50 million barrels of oil, with proceeds of sales to be controlled by him, I want to reiterate: He's inviting our oligarchs to reap great riches by buying into his scheme of imperial hemispheric domination.

The thing that’s so dumb about this is that there’s nothing legitimate about the strategic importance of Greenland that the US doesn’t get through existing alliances. Denmark isn’t impeding US strategic interests. It’s about them wanting to increase US land area by 20%.
