I’ve been studying civil rights protests for 20 years. With new mobilization against Trump’s agenda, I’m sharing a thread summarizing my research on how nonviolent & violent actions by 1960s activists and police influenced media, elites, public opinion & voters. 1/ www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

Lying about the election in order to lie about a murder.
COLLINS: Minnesota officials say the FBI isn't sharing evidence with them. Do you believe the FBI should do that?

TRUMP: Well normally I would, but they're crooked officials. Minneapolis and Minnesota are being destroyed. I feel that I won Minnesota all three times. I won Minnesota three times.

The behavioral explanation is that this is all a bunch of unresolved childhood and adolescent trauma about women. But the institutional and political economy explanation is that people whose politics are based in unresolved childhood and adolescent trauma about women shouldn't have guns or authority

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.
In the video that the shooter took, which I believe was leaked to be exculpatory, he appears to yell “fucking bitch” after he shoots Renee Good.

To my Republican colleagues, the Vice President is spitting in your face and openly flouting your constitutional authority.

Time to decide if you came here to be a Member of Congress or a cheerleader for whatever Trump wants.

They are going to Epstein Files a murder
The state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension says they've been informed by the FBI that US DOJ has said FBI will solely lead the investigation into Renee Nicole Good's killing by a federal officer. State investigators no longer have access to "case materials, scene evidence/investigative interviews"

You can feel like something is inevitable and still experience shock. Many of us knew something like this would happen, bc things like this have already happened, bc law enforcement functions with impunity, bc ICE kept drawing its guns on observers. But emotional and moral shock can still occur.

I wish Congress would finally realize it can impeach officials below the President, which would be an excellent way of tying an Administration in knots.

Grok issued an apology; however an air fryer and a Maytag top-load washer close to the situation have told us he was lying.
