JUST IN: A Pentagon plan to use a high-energy, counter-drone laser without having coordinated with the Federal Aviation Administration about potential risks to civilian flights prompted an unprecedented airspace shutdown over El Paso, Texas, multiple sources say. https://cnn.it/4a9x8Qg

Cops lie. I am hoping for the best, but EMTs don't cover patients heads with sheets for nothing. I personally don't know of a medically necessary reason to do so. If I'm hurt, I would want access to air.
This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

please do all your planning for this year with the thought in mind that ICE has bought a billion dollars in warehouses to use as concentration camps and they probably don’t intend to leave them empty

Meanwhile, we’re spending as much on policing as ever, the police are killing as many people as ever, “crime” was successfully used to normalize military occupation of US cities, and despite these trends being longstanding, the Trump admin is now touting these numbers to argue for more policing.

Notice how the popular media narrative has moved on, while people on the ground in Minneapolis are still struggling and crying out that things are as bad as ever. This is how fascist regimes operate — overreach, recalibration, normalization. Get louder, not quieter.
