This is unreal. An AUSA talking like that in open court is about as close as you can come to a total breakdown. Never heard of anything like it.

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

I talked to a friend who lives 25 blocks from me in Seward and it was like sailing to an island 1,000 miles away in the Pacific and discovering they have the same gods and boatbuilding techniques
One aspect of the occupation is that the resistance is so decentralized and ice so ubiquitous that i have no real clue what’s happening in different parts of the city. My patrols go sometimes into the northern suburbs so i know when things are popping off there but i have no sense of mpls.

People are still being profiled.
People are still being wrongfully detained.
People still can’t go to work or school out of fear.
 
Do not look away and do not buy any political spin coming out of DHS.
