tim walz can urge everyone not to interfere with ICE loud n clear all day. he's still subpoenaed for obstruction because that's the narrative trump likes. he's getting the exact big loud show he wants to see, always. you win by making a big loud show he doesn't want to see, that gets better ratings

mighta been something to the "don't give him an excuse" stuff in trump's first term but it's clear now when he wants to see something he just makes it so. he's the showrunner of the news. head of the executive producer branch. when he wanted to see boats blow up he didn't wait for them to act unruly

They have fucking assault rifles and we have whistles and they’re scared shitless, because they know we’d rather be righteous and dead than ever be them.

It whips that not only is this guy absolutely going to get reinstated with back pay thanks to UNIONS but he’s already made nearly $1mil in a GFM which means many, many people are now incentivized to scream at Trump that he’s a pedophile

The resistance I see in every video from Minnesota is inspiring. Regular people are standing up to heavily armed fucks who have no regard for human life; no moral compass; no true desire beyond harming other people.

This is how far you have to scroll on the NYTimes homepage to get any coverage of what's going on day-to-day in an occupied American city where schools are closing because the government is checking the papers of all brown or Asian people then brutalizing, imprisoning or killing them.

They aren't specialists in violence they're just dicks the government gave badges to, don't mythologize being a thug because you're scared of loud noises
It’s worth considering that an overnight dismantling of ICE in 2029 would release into the wild a whole herd of specialists in violence with scant other marketable skills.

People aren’t talking enough about how the “agents” are intentionally giving mixed directions to people. Go! Get out of the car! Keep moving! I said out of the car! They’re intentionally confusing them so someone can claim they’re not following orders (because they can’t follow conflicting ones) /1
It would be a mistake to see Trumpism as authoritarianism imposed on an unwilling nation, as opposed to authoritarianism implemented in a nation with a plurality that is already made up of authoritarian bootlickers who created the context for Trumpism to thrive.

There is a new autistic barbie out, but no one is talking about her mother, undiagnosed computer engineer barbie about to get the surprise of her life when she starts to argue with the evaluator that these are all normal childhood behaviours that she had when she was the same age.

It would be a very, very low bar for elected Democrats to behave in a way which reflects the urgency of the situation on the ground in Minneapolis. And I am struggling to think of more than a few who have cleared that bar.
I don't give a fuck what insipid slogan Democrats come up with about ICE. they are not coming to help the people or they would have by now. The ordinary people of Minneapolis have done more for our rights over the past week than elected Democrats have done in decades
