The Trump regime's position seems to be that Republicans have the right to bear arms and everyone else has the right to get shot by them.

There’s a cultural component there. Russia had centuries of serfdom. Democracy is core to America’s self-conception and 90% of Americans have Oppositional Defiance Disorder. We are bovine in our consumerist complacency but will not tolerate the government telling us what to do

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

I know a lot of you are (reasonably!) skeptical, but my anecdotal evidence is that something distinctly different and horrifying happened today and Americans are acknowledging it.
Does anyone have any idea how we break the echo chambers? No Trump voter in my family will ever know what actually happened to Alex Pretti or Renee Good. They will believe the officers were justified. They will watch Fox News and that will be the end of it.

The ICE invasion of Minnesota wasn't premised on some huge number of undocumented workers. It was premised on the lies Trump peddled in December about Somalis and a five-year-old welfare fraud scandal.

The people that the ICE thugs murdered in cold blood this week were named Pretti and Good.
Make their names the rallying cry for kicking ICE and Trump's brutal policies to the curb. Tie them to the entire fucking Republican party who allows this to happen.

ANOTHER ANGLE. This man was NOT brandishing a firearm. He was holding his phone. He then put his body between ICE thugs and woman. He was then sprayed with a chemical agent, tackled, disarmed, and executed. Plain as day. DO NOT let them tell you otherwise.

You could actually structure your moral code around the idea that law enforcement doesn't exist to execute people. You don't have to create perfect victim narratives, you can just refuse to accept that the state gets to kill people.

When Trump doesn't send any aid to states that are about to get walloped with a winter storm this weekend, remember that he thought it was more important to send goons into Minneapolis to murder people.

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

I am doing my best to respond to this without a string of expletives. But let's be very clear. What just happened in Minnesota was cold blooded murder of a civilian by out of control federal agents, aided and abetted by the entire Trump administration and their fascist enablers.

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.

Remember when these guys lied that they were preserving Confederate monuments because you had to leave up the whole messy contested historical record rather than erasing history?
More than 400 years of history and a decade of advocacy were torn down Thursday afternoon when National Park Service employees removed every single display at the President’s House.
