I think what we have overlooked that has made society go haywire is that social pressures are the single strongest force acting on human beings, and the human brain doesn’t really distinguish between real-life, media-sourced, and internet social pressures. Our phones and feeds are pressure cookers

I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.

Trump today has accused Obama of “manufacturing fake documents” so now I’m concerned that Trump is having fake documents manufactured.

the arrest of journalists in minneapolis, including don lemon, is more evidence that the only move the administration knows how to make is to use force, and does not know how to respond when that force is met with defiance and indifference.

So the FBI with Gabbard took old ballots and they will “recount them” and say “a ha! Trump won!!” and there will be the dumbest news cycle in world history.
Dems should make it clear to participating agents that breaking the law puts them in jail.

I don’t know, declaring victory in MN seems premature. They’re still arresting people and brutalizing the community. The changes appear—so far—to be cosmetic

yes, there are no real signs of any big change in DHS activity here yet. In Chicago there really was after Bovino left and they basically ended "Midway Blitz" not so here so far.

I want to say this too: this victory was won because we had observers EVERYWHERE. ICE and CBP couldn't set foot in our city without cameras rolling. Much of the nation seemed determined to ignore our plight for weeks, but the avalanche of documentation we produced dragged the nation to us.

What’s this— we have a regime in power that’s spending taxpayer dollars to innovate ways to bypass the rule of law??? Think about this, DOJ and FBI directors are sitting in rooms having conversations about how to strategically hide Epstein crimes and bypass American courts. Think about this!

This is one of the biggest stories in America, comparable in scale to what’s happening in Minnesota. The largest social media platform is transferred to Trump’s allies and immediately forbids you from saying anything bad about him. Absolutely totalitarian in nature. No different than China.

During his trip to Minnesota, Hasan Piker claims that Kamala Harris would have done the exact same things Trump is doing right now to the American people. Why is he so fixated on this?
From the LivestreamFail community on Reddit: Hasan goes to MN just to say Kamala wouldve done the same thing 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️

i think this attitude — that all opposition is illegitimate and nothing we do can be questioned— is probably pervasive in the white house and helps explain why they keep making terrible political choices
Putin pioneered this. No opposition is legitimate. Regular, decent, “ordinary” people cannot possibly be against us because only we represent “the real people.”
Tell-tale sign of authoritarianism.
