i don't really give a shit if consultants think being anti-ICE is "good messaging" or whatever when people are actively being shot, beat, gassed and jailed.

I think that people don’t comprehend that the state has been unapologetically beating young people’s asses basically nonstop & charging us with massive crimes for protesting since at least Occupy Wall Street & growing up like that has a chilling effect on the way people engage with democracy

the problem with an untrained secret police squad that shoots people in their cars isn’t that they’re untrained

"if we win, that will answer every question" is in fact precisely the problem with this entire generation of democrats. it was the thinking that permeated the early biden administration and guess what: the problems weren't solved and in fact got much worse. need someone who will put power to use
New - Chuck Schumer to haters: “The answer to these critics is to win. If we win back the Senate, that will answer every question"

Peltola “was the last piece to the puzzle"

He says Dem path to Senate is Ohio, Alaska, Maine and NC. Dems are watching Texas/Iowa

another good reminder that frey sucks and has always sucked and no amount of press conferences with cusses can change what his actual actions are
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey says 29 people were arrested in downtown last night during a noise demonstration at a hotel reportedly housing ICE agents: "For those that are taking the bait and causing property damage or otherwise, there are consequences. We're holding the line here all the way."

Every one of these announcements reads to me as "we don't have enough people and supplies to occupy more than one city at a time"
Also: " Border Patrol officials also plan to send all nonlethal weapons housed in Chicago to Minnesota, according to the documents."
"The Department of Homeland Security plans to pause operations in Chicago — where Gregory Bovino, a Border Patrol official, has led controversial arrest efforts — to support the immigration enforcement operation in Minnesota."

You can draw a draw a straight line from a right wing YouTuber's unverified viral video about Somali American daycares to ICE showing up in Minneapolis to this killing.

This feels like a galvanizing moment for the city in the same way George Floyd's death was five years ago.

ICE also shot a woman here in Chicago, whom they made similar claims against. She didn't die, despite being shot multiple times, and the charges against her were eventually dropped, because the stories they tell to justify their violence are always bullshit and never hold up under scrutiny.

Absolutely horrific details about an ICE shooting in Minneapolis.

A witness says a woman was trying to drive away from an ICE operation and the ICE agent "reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times."

Bovino was there.

there’s so much in this opinion it’s natural to focus on the particularly brutal elements that did happen but I keep personally remembering that the feds were authorized to kill Chicagoans if they felt they had to for a safe exit.
they easily could’ve killed more people and gotten away with it.
