On top of some obvious things, it's clear the dems in congress don't game anything out. What are you going to do when the murder the next person? And then the next one? and then a member of congress? It's just "vote for this and pray it goes away"

Having local organizations which just managed a general strike and a huge protest is something very valuable and why it was worth doing.

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.

I'm really looking forward to hearing from the same people who have spent decades yelling about the Second Amendment that this shooting was somehow justified because the observer (allegedly) had a gun.
It turns out, it was never about *all* of our liberty.

From a lawyer friend: “They’re trying to keep local PD and BCA from getting statements and confiscating any phones with video.”

My group chats are full of Minnesotans reacting to today’s murder by figuring out ways they can help.
We need people outside of the state to do the same thing. Whatever you wish everyone else was doing right now? Do it today.
Let’s make a list of things that could help.

they’re abducting our neighbors and putting them in concentration camps and they’ll empty a whole goddamn magazine into you while you’re lying on the ground if you don’t cheer them on while they’re fucking doing it.

You don't need a special term! Just say "neighbors are out on the corner protecting children on their way to school" "people are gathered and recording and yelling at the federal force who just executed a man they had restrained and beaten."

O'Hara refusing to step away from the scene is something to keep an eye on
BREAKING: The Tribune confirmed on Instagram that the man shot has died, according to two sources with knowledge of the incident.
ICE attempted to order local police from the scene, but Chief Brian O'Hara refused, sources also told the Tribune. O'Hara instructed his officers to preserve the scene.

ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city.
If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.

I just responded to the scene at 26th and Nicollet shortly after the observer was shot. They teargassed and/or pepper sprayed Jana Shortal of KARE11 at the scene and she was being treated when I walked up. ICE have a fancy camera they are using to scan the faces of the crowd.

Democrats idea of doing something is telling Trump to do something. You’re the fucking governor man. Order these goons arrested. Have the national guard protect your people.
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.

it feels a lot like today's murder is in response to the mass protests yesterday, as if to tell us we're powerless, that our solidarity won't protect us.

We need prosecutions for political murders — that’s ultimately what these are — and truth and reconciliation commissions.
This is a fascist terror campaign against the people of Minnesota. As with J6, no one involved should be allowed near a badge or a political office ever again.

Initial report is that two observers got into a shoving match with eight agents, one observer was wrestled to the ground, and then an ICE agent pulled out a sidearm and shot the man on the ground five times.

There has been an increasing sense in Minneapolis that we are on our own, that our elected representatives are unwilling and/or unable to take action to get these murderous Nazi thugs out of our community. I really hope that changes today. The time for pleading TV hits ended weeks ago.

My first job out of college was working at Bettmann Newsphotos. We had an archive dating back to 1900 and we got new photos from the field (Reuters photogs) every day. I saw many, many violent images that were never published. What I learned is: don't look at these unless you have to for your job.
