And if you have a position of power, like, say, a governorship, there's lots of things you can throw at them to at least slow them down, even if it's not a fix, even if it's not permanent. Just forcing a countermove can be beneficial.

The thing about fascists is that they're human beings. That means they can only do so many things at once, and the more barriers you erect, even flimsy and temporary ones, the more you slow them down.

I think he should have given those *very specific orders* to the National Guard because it would force the Trump administration to act in response, and every procedural move you make forces fascists to do something in response.

To be clear, I didn't say Walz should order the National Guard to defend protesters and arrest ICE murderers because of my longstanding ardent belief in the goodness of our institutions (lol). I'm an abolitionist, and that includes the military industrial complex.

Nothing is going to change tomorrow.
It’s still essential that the teams strike.

Today I'm remembering Philando Castile, shot in 2016 by police in the Minneapolis suburbs after being pulled over for a broken brake light. "Sir, I have to tell you that I do have a firearm on me," he said. Ten seconds later one of the cops had shot him five times. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing...

Abolish ICE is not enough.
It's not about training -- Ross who killed Renee Good was a TRAINER. It's not about body cams -- we saw Alex Pretti killed with our own eyes.
We have to abolish the idea that violence ever made us safer, before it's too late.

this is the actual danger of these first person shooter games — losers become cops because they think murdering people in real life is fun and cool
I am watching what is happening in Minneapolis on Ali Velshi and one of the ICE officers (off camera) literally says, “It’s like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?” as they shoot whatever it is they are shooting. Agents walking around, guns unholstered for no reason. This is insanity

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.

Great distinction. Observers on the ground are bearing witness so we all know what's happening.
Posters obsessing over watching atrocity videos are just self-harming.

To put an even sharper point on it...
The moral call is to BEAR witness, not to consumption.
In other words: to testimony, not passively offering eyeballs to horrific content.

I say this with love: no.
Every person who doubts the atrocity should witness, so they understand.
There is no need to watch if you read a description of the atrocity, register its moral significance, and commit yourself to speaking out against these horrors.

they’re definitely violent but I bet these murderers aren’t untrained either — somebody trained them to know to remove someone’s concealed legal weapon before murdering them
I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.
The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.
