using the word “libtard” as a grown man should automatically trigger a national alert announcing that anyone who sees this guy out and about has a civic duty to give him a wet willie or atomic wedgie. dealer’s choice.

miller & bovino & all those freaks are so hopping mad about the fact that minneapolis is what “assimilation” looks like in the real world. it’s not people coming here and becoming identical to the mythical pure white. it’s neighbors living together with their differences & learning from each other

At a deep theoretical level, Stephen Miller and JD Vance think their view that immigrants threaten social solidarity is widely shared. But what's now happening is MAGA is driving native-born Americans to show solidarity with immigrants. Now Miller is trying to break that up w/coercion and violence.
Terror is essential to Miller's project. It's designed to dissuade us from showing solidarity with the immigrants getting removed. Stand in the way of ethnic cleansing and you risk violence yourself.

One maddening thing about all this (aside from the vile views of lots of these folks) is that universities are *already* bastions of free speech in comparison to corporate or government jobs.
These folks oppose are *standards of evidence* that invalidate bigotry and being told their ideas are bad.

They didn’t want a university without cancel culture. They didn’t want to be criticized for their retrograde views so they created a pretend school funding by their rich friends. The only people surprised that this failed were credulous enough to believe the fairy tales these folks told.
They Wanted a University Without Cancel Culture. Then Dissenters Were Ousted.

if you have ever felt what it feels like to see a small child lose consciousness in front of you, you know what i am wishing on those officers right now. that experience changes you, it is so awful
"Officers threw flash bangs and tear gas in my car. I got six kids in the car"
"His wife, Destiny Jackson, told FOX 9 their 6-month-old infant stopped breathing and lost consciousness. She then performed CPR on her baby."

Minnesotans “stayed calm” last night and Trump is still talking about the Insurrection Act today.
It’s like an abusive relationship. He will say “look what she made me do,” no matter what she actually did.
It only works if everyone else is willing to blame the victim.

Non-protesting dad just trying to hustle his kids, as young as 6mo, out of the neighborhood. ICE threw a flash-bang INTO HIS car, all 6 kids in the hospital now.
If anyone wondered how things turn against occupying armies there's a case study playing out in front of you.
