🚨 Minneapolis: Hostile “Press” Thread 🚨

Best practice to ask your interviewer what outlet they are with and if you can see their X account to avoid harassment.

Tonight's CSPOA "Save Our Sheriffs" event, which will feature 3 WA sheriffs, is being promoted and livestreamed by Casey Whalen, a North Idaho antisemite who was leader in Ammon Bundy's People's Rights network.

Here's a recent Whalen post calling Jews "vermin" and expressing vicious antisemitism.

The sheriff's office is also posting directly to their official facebook page about how people should not trust video to get the full story, presumably talking about the story of the ICE shooting in Minnesota.

The ICE agent who murdered Renee Good must be prosecuted for murder. He enjoys no immunity from state murder charges.
Then, Blue state governors must call up their National Guard to protect us from the armed ICE terrorists.

Three WA State Sheriffs are joining with a far-right pro-paramilitary group with ties to white nationalists and insurrectionists tomorrow.

Why?

They want to be able to violate state/local laws so they can team up with the same ICE thugs who murdered Renee Nicole Good.

The CSPOA CEO broadcasts an unabashed racist "friend" on his radio network, and runs ads for Christian Identity groups.

Mayor Jacob Frey has seen the video. ICE shot and killed a U.S. citizen, and officials are already trying to spin it. Accountability doesn’t come from press lines—it comes from the truth. 🚨⚖️
