What the actual 🤬 ?
Yes, it’s true! ICE detained enrolled members of the Oglala Sioux Tribe in Minneapolis and transferred three of them to an ICE facility at Fort Snelling.
This is not a mistake.
It’s illegal detention.
It’s a treaty violation.
Release them. Now.

This is the pattern.
Intimidation → manufactured “threat” → deadly force → official justification.
None of it is lawful. All of it is predictable.

The Trump administration responded with spin, not facts. Post-hoc claims don’t change the standard.
Running away is not an imminent threat. And it’s not a death sentence.

Federal policy is clear: deadly force may not be used solely to stop someone from fleeing.
A woman in Minnesota was shot and killed while trying to get away from ICE agents. If flight was the justification, that violates DOJ use-of-force rules.

Frank Zappa wasn’t being clever. He was naming the system.
Politics as spectacle keeps people entertained while power operates offstage.

“Whiteness” was never biology; it was a system of shifting rules, expanded or tightened when power demanded it. Some people know what it means to be “provisionally white.”History shows how easily that status can be revoked.
Do you still think this has nothing to do with you?

Cool. Cool. Now explain why a brick of Philly cream cheese costs six damn dollars. Wages didn’t magically reclassify themselves. We can’t homestead our way out of corporate greed. Do your actual job.

You don’t get to claim Trump “confessed” to election theft while also insisting he has dementia and lies nonstop. If your entire argument requires mutually exclusive realities, it’s not an argument. Pick a lane. We’re exhausted.

So Trump claims they rigged the 2024 election for him, which would only matter if Trump wasn’t a serial liar. But if Trump’s always lying and also forgetting which lies he told, then his claim that the election was stolen collapses into a snake eating its own tail.
