In case you’re wondering, this is Army driving. Go fast, never slow down, never signal what you’re going to do. To not makes you a target. It’s how you’re taught to drive in a war zone, not a US city.
One detail about the MPLS ICE invasion that I haven't seen many comment on: these goons drive like maniacs and they're eventually going to run someone over. They speed, run red lights every chance they get, and because they don't know the roads, they're constantly going the wrong way down one-ways.

I remember someone said that it’s funny that the liberal solution to cop violence always tends to be giving them more funding. If things are going well, it’s more reason to fund them more. And if they’re going badly, then they need more funding for trying and hiring even more cops.

None of you will mount a defense of those shots or even address them, even though they may have been the fatal ones.

Personally i think as long as we’re all up in arms abt colonialism we should give sovereignty to our territories who were seized exactly like this. But i know most ppl just want 2024 style neocolonialism. The good stuff.

My personal guiding question remains this:

As daily goals, "stop fascism," "defeat evil," and "save the world" probably aren't going to get you anywhere, and might leave you feeling overwhelmed and helpless, but "work towards building something good" is always achievable, concrete, and useful.

The idea of a nation and national security is such a joke. The greedy powers that be just want to save money so they can extract it. So ofc our defense industry outsources sensitive data to cheaper coders. They don’t care about Our well-being of our people, They care about money.
