Almost every time I volunteer to do the actual work with some group - from phonebanking to door knocking to folding zines or whatever - the crowd is anywhere from 70 to 90 percent femme. Also, primarily OLDER people.
Older ladies actually make shit happen.

Remember, in his first term Trump asked military leaders of protesters:
“can’t you just shoot them.”
Back then his officials refused. So he found ones who wouldn’t.
This is what he’s always wanted. It’s not an accident. It was his vision. www.npr.org/2022/05/09/1...

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum.
Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum.
Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum.
ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

A moment-by-moment analysis of video from the scene shows that Mr. Pretti was already restrained when fatal shots were fired, which appears to contradict the federal government’s account of the event.

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

Our analysis at @bellingcat.com on the killing of Alex Pretti breaks down the video evidence.
He never reached for his gun.
Agents sprayed/tackled him while his hands were up.
He was disarmed before he was shot.
The first shot came from an agent firing at him.
