"If the [constitutionally protected political speech] doesn't stop, there is gonna be bloodshed."
Homan: "I begged for the last two months on TV for the rhetoric to stop. I said in March -- if the rhetoric doesn't stop, there is gonna be bloodshed. And there has been. I wish I wasn't right. I don't want to see anybody die."

If you work at DHS and know the identities of the CBP officers that murdered Alex Pretti, my Signal contact info is in my bio. I’ll keep you anonymous.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

It's idiotic. 8 million have jobs (below says 7.5). 13-14% of both ag and construction labor is undocumented. 4.6% of the country's workforce. Who will replace them? There is an easy solution but GOP loves their labor without rights and living in fear. www.statista.com/chart/34074/...

Gov. Hochul's Car Insurance Proposal is a Disaster for Crash Victims' Rights - Streetsblog New York City
As a state that values walking and biking, we cannot allow the governor to gut the rights of the people most at risk — especially since it won't lower insurance rates anyway.

Police mistakes happen, and they're big news.
But if you think about a scenario in which US Government is proven to be lying about killing its own people, that would be one of the biggest news stories of the century.
And it's happening.
And it's not being reported as what it is.

One thing that irks me: people keep calling the folks on the streets in Minneapolis protestors. They are not generally there to protest, they are there to observe and document. This is the product of organizing and mutual aid. It is telling that these acts of citizenship are seen as protest!
