Mayor Jacob Frey called that account 'bullshit,' saying video of the shooting contradicts the self-defense claim and instead shows 'an agent recklessly using power that resulted in somebody dying, getting killed.' Frey added: 'To ICE: Get the fuck out of Minneapolis.'β

It's gonna make Minneapolis a more hostile environment than ICE has had to deal with before -- and that's saying a lot. If they can't handle big crowds with whistles and bullhorns, they'll really hate this.
Like those before it, that insane, vile DHS statement about the Minneapolis shooting isn't about covering anything up. It's performative lying.
They aren't trying to persuade anyone that their agents did nothing wrong. They're trying to project that their agents can get away with anything.

It's ironic how today's establishment Dems seem to hate Bush less than Nader, because of the latter's role in enabling Bush, and then turn around and fail to understand people whose logic for despising Schumer and Jeffries is exactly the same. #BlueMAGA
Just pretend Trump is Ralph Nader, Susan Sarandon or Bernie, and then do what comes naturally.

DHS Is Lying To You About ICE Shooting a Woman
At least four videos show what really happened when ICE shot a woman in Minneapolis on Wednesday. DHS has established itself as an agency that cannot be trusted to live in or present reality.

Last point and then I need to go touch grass- yes, ofc Trump et. al are to blame for this. But, the reason I am angry at Dems is bc, in times like this, in a 2-party system, I want and need the opposition party to be an opposition party. In the absence of that, it makes me feel alone in this fight.

How clear was the Mamdani messaging? So clear and easy to understand. What are the three things that Democrats will do to use whatever they can to fight the regime or even as a vision for what they will do if they are back in power? I would even settle for 1 thing.

Call people into the street. Stop approving any nominees. Go on full scale attack on whatever platform. Stop paying fucking consultants to tell you what to say/do. See how Tim Walz framed it in MN? Do that. Don't tell me there's nothing they can do.

I know people believe that the Democrats are in the minority and can't do anything. I would encourage you to read about how, in fact, minority parties can be disruptive. If they want to be. You don't even have to read. You can just see how the Republicans acted during the Obama years.
