they want everyone to believe that resisting a white supremacist race war means the state should kill you and it’s deserved, and it’s concerning every republican on every level believes this now. in 2017 this was being said, but it was still a marginal opinion

Many are arguing that they wouldn't be acting this way if they thought they were subject to free & fair elections.
Plausible. But another explanation is that they see the writing on the wall--generational backlash--and they're attempting increasingly desparate hail marys

MAGA was clearly like “Wait, they’re immigrants? AND they’re black? This is the jackpot, the most exploitable minority in America” and now Somalis are abruptly more directly targeted for persecution by the US government than any ethnic group in almost a century

Minneapolis is an incredible city that despite everything, works because of its wonderful people. Of course the administration wants to kill that.
late patrol shifts on cedar ave always make me emotional because I just watch all the shop keepers closing up—sweeping off the day, turning out the lights—one by one down the row. The overwhelming normalcy of it all makes me sad. I wish the world could see how normal it all is.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.
This could be you.

a lot of us forgot that the main reason racism is unacceptable is because it’s a fast-track to the end of human civilization, not because it’s uncouth. people will look back on this as an exceptionally stupid failure of memory and imagination, both.
