BOYCOTT OIL. If Trump’s Venezuela grab turns into a profit play, U.S. oil companies involved are war profiteers.
Most likely: *CHEVRON*, ExxonMobil, ConocoPhillips.
Don’t buy their products *STARTING NOW*. Make war-for-oil toxic.

Amid these dark moments, something important is beginning to shift.
It's clearly the result of healthy political pressure - which we must sustain, and build.

It defies all rationale thought--how are we here?
That said, the people of Minn have shown the entire country how resistance is done. Most assuredly at a horrible cost, but it is the only way. We should all be so brave. #ICEOut #FuckICE

Hope to see this internal resistance grow.
Experienced federal immigration agents in Minneapolis are privately raging about the killing of nurse Alex Pretti and want out of the mission they now see as “lost.”
ICE and Border Patrol agents are said to have turned on the operation—and on their colleagues who killed Pretti.

- Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence

Miller IS evil but this is an interesting point. You can be EVIL and a MORON at the same time.
It’s common and sort of understandable to see Miller as this evil genius. Important to remember he’s actually a complete fucking moron who, when he got a chance, immediately engineered a PR disaster that shitcanned Trump’s best-polling issue. Always the way with these types.

Wow...they even lost Fox on this one.
Kyle Rittenhouse was a hero to the right, but Pretti was a “domestic terrorist” for having a legal gun. The double standard with some on the right is astonishing. Alex Pretti’s murder will go down in history as a turning point in this Administration.
