I want to talk about AltNPS, Minneapolis, #AltGov, and Luddites.
One of my fears have come true. I knew this would happen when I made my AltNPS video, but it sucks to be right. And I know I'm not American, and I may not have the "right" to do so, but I will, because this is history repeating. 🧵

I'm seeing a lot of calls to block/report any and all "Alt" accounts in the replies, but I think it's worth saying that AltNPS is BY FAR the worst, most harmful, and most dangerous "Alt" account.
The others are generally pretty harmless, and I don't want to unnecessarily lump them in with AltNPS.

Completely insane. AltNPS claimed to know the name of Alex Pretti's killer, refused to say it because "the truth always comes out," and then just deleted the post.
A man was executed on the street in my hometown, and AltNPS is using that as an excuse to vaguepost for attention.

She is so full of shit. If I can see from the videos that he was holding a phone and not a firearm, then the gestapo who were RIGHT FUCKING THERE should have been able to tell the difference.
Noem lies shamelessly: "An individual approached order Patrol officers with a 9mm semi-automatic gun. The officers attempted to disarm this individual, but the armed suspect reacted violently. This looks like a situation where an individual arrived to inflict maximum damage and kill law enforcement"

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

I empathize with the athletes, who've worked hard to get to the levels they're competing at. But really, the US doesn't deserve the honor of hosting these events.
If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

This is a screen grab of today's shooting by ICE in Minnesota.
It is somehow even more brutal than what they did to Renee Good.
This is some wild west shit... a straight up execution.

Lots of information in this thread!
ICE HSI arguably has jurisdiction over some anti-corruption criminal investigations, but ICE ERO and many other DHS agents probably do not. And we've also seen no evidence that any investigations of "corruption" are occurring; rather, it's the same kind of ICE raids as we've seen in other cities.
ICE has absolutely no authority to police purported welfare "corruption."

So hey, the federal government can't withhold benefits from certain states as punishment. Much like many other things this admin does, it is illegal.
Unfortunately, the families that rely on that funding don't have years to wait for the legal battle to shake out.

I'd love to see a reporter ask rank-and-file ICE agents if they understand that the administration is clearly hoping one of them gets killed out there.
"Are you ready to give your life to become a meme pushed by incels on Twitter for a couple days?"
"Are you ready to give your life to become a meme pushed by incels on Twitter for a couple days?"
The White House surely wants to see one of these ICE crackdowns lead to violent pushback. They've got untrained unqualified goons acting with impunity. It seems deliberately designed to provoke an incident.
But do the goons get this? Do they know the big plan is to get a couple of them killed?

Susan Tincher, a 55-year-old American citizen, said agents told her in the truck that if she didn’t watch herself “they were going to pull me over to the side of the road and give me this OC,” law enforcement shorthand for pepper spray.
