Wow. DOJ asked a judge for a warrant to investigate Renee Good after she'd been murdered. A judge denied it. www.ms.now/news/doj-sou...
DOJ sought to probe Renee Good for criminal liability, even after her death: Sources
A judge refused an FBI warrant that proposed investigating dead Minnesota mom for suspected assault on an officer.

Last week, when we learned DoJ was investigating Renee Good’s partner, I said they’d probably investigate Good herself if she hadn’t died. Turns out…

I’m struggling to think of the last time the Republican senate forced Trump’s hand on a foreign policy issue by actually doing something instead of just talking shit on social media.

It’s funny because my actual advice for anyone worried about opsec is “help get aid to home bound families,” because the easiest way to stay off the feds’ radar is simply not follow them, and not do anything they’ve argued is illegal. But weirdly the opsec guys also usually want to be in the action.
how about doing mutual aid runs wearing wigs and disguises in your own car?

You really can’t avoid this, unless you think that rapid responders need a fake license plate, burner phone, face mask, which means we’d have far too few to even do the job effectively. As someone said, your safety comes from DDoSing them: making the list so huge it’s useless.
ICE Agents have been photographing protesters and adding faces and names to a searchable database—so I think some steps to prevent them from doing so would be for the best.

Its being rumored; that ICE is now taking folks that they have scooped up in MN, that can't be charged, they're being dumped out in parks or surrounding wooded areas with no proper attire in the deadly cold, no ID, no phone and some with no clothing at all👇
