Just since it's on my mind in the moment, if people are out there always trying to tell you they're doing "service," that's a real red flag.

The founders wrote the 2nd Amendment for a reason: So you could hold a cool gun while you nod approvingly at what the government is doing.
seeing conservatives admit alex pretti was disarmed and need to change their message to “well you know where you won’t get shot? at home” is just an impressive level of pathetic allegiance to their dictator

If this is what they do when they're out on the street with people pointing cameras at them, what do you think is happening inside the ICE prison camps that they keep denying Members of Congress access to?

I am seeing quite a few nurses calling for a nationwide strike over the killing of Alex Pretti. I think we are seeing one of the largest workforces being radicalized before our very eyes.

basically just keep repeating "they lied to you because they think you're stupid and you should be furious at them for it" for shit like this
a lot of folks going “of course we knew they were full of shit” and we did
but there are plenty of people out there who take their sanctimonious bullshit about gun rights at face value and it is important to shove this in their faces and go, no, they don’t mean a single word they say

This moment in history provides us with incontrovertible evidence that all the conservatives who claim to be extremely devoted to freedom of speech and the right to bear arms, and opposed to the encroachment of tyranny, are completely and totally full of shit.
It's all white supremacy and greed.

I've been studying the history of US, and indeed, global policing my whole career and I can't make it more clear to law makers that this isn't a bastardization of policing, it is its purest form and logical conclusion. The impunity, militarization, deference, legitimacy, racial targeting, etc.

Alex Pretti was an ICU nurse serving veterans. He died trying to protect protestors being assaulted. A group of anonymous & masked men fired chemicals into his face, beat him, disarmed him, and shot him in broad daylight in front of witnesses. Then his government smeared him & defended his murder.

Nonviolence is, in fact, working. This administration is weaker than it was a year ago. More and more of the public is becoming galvanized against it; its agents are being impeded.
Do you honestly think people in the civil rights movement and other nonviolent movements faced no violence themselves? They practiced nonviolence because it works, because the oppressor wants a shooting war, which is the war it will win
How's your non-violent working Mr Gandhi stancil? They will kill each and everyone of you right if they had the chance and you will still be writing Kumbaya.

The Trump-Vance administration just used your taxes to pay for ICE agents to kill a 37-year-old nurse, who was only there because another ICE agent killed a 37-year-old mother of three, who was only there because ICE agents are kidnapping your neighbors

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.

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

Republicans: everyone must be able to carry any gun at all times,
up to and including high powered rifles, to protect themselves against tyranny
also Republicans, without batting an eye: carrying a gun is unquestionable justification for federal agents to shoot you dead in the street

video is out there. I watched it. I do not advise watching it. the description Will has here is correct.
I would describe "being shot five times while 2-3 people hold you down" as an execution
congrats, ICE. you found the bridge and you sprinted across.

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.

continually pushing for more accountability and oversight will continue to uncover abuses, which will continue to drive negative sentiment toward ICE, CBP and DHS, but you've got to put one foot in front of the other, you can't skip the process and get the outcome you want

Once again stanning for the "Public Safety Officer" program in Sunnyvale, CA, in which recruits must qualify and fully train in three roles: EMT, firefighter, and police officer, and serve in all three before choosing one role for the bulk of their career.
