The GOP is going to 40%+ of the Vote in the midterms.
Let’s be clear what that means: 50m+ Americans are willing to tolerate (if not actively enthusiastic about) a government engaged in brazen, unapologetic extrajudicial killings of their fellow citizens.
THAT is the deep rot in American democracy

Chris Murphy: "This is really scary because what Bovino essentially told you is that if you just happen to be present when they are undertaking an operation, if you pull out your phone to record it, the use of force against you is justified. That is not true, it's not what the law says."

Greg Bovino: "We will not allow violence..... get vilolent criminals off the streets..." This what he said after they shot an American citizen for what looked like he was trying to help a lady. If they only said things like this after a school mass shooting.

You’re watching the administration lose control of the narrative in real time.
The more they show their supporters that they don’t give a shit about their gun rights, the worse it gets.
I’ve seen over a dozen right-wing commentators call out the propaganda. That’s progress.

Walz: Minnesota's justice system will have the last word on this.
As I told the white house in no uncertain terms this morning, the federal government cannot be trusted to lead this investigation. The state will handle it. Period.

The reality is that 2024 was a fundamental test of the moral character of the nation and we failed spectacularly. We’re living with the consequences now. Maybe we improve. I hope so.

They clearly believed that Minneapolis would riot after they killed one of us. We didn’t, we organized. We followed them, we monitored them. We alerted our neighbors. We fought them in the courts. And now they’re desperate, so they’re brutalizing us, without a hint of legitimate government purpose.

There is one word in the English language that explains what Minneapolis is experiencing right now: tyranny.
We are under assault by a tyrannical government and its little jackbooted commandant. We are going to keep fighting, and we will win, stand with us.

Impossible to describe what a raw nerve the rapid response channels are when you’re NOT on patrol. ICE sighted everywhere, all over the neighborhood. Silence and then swarming.
This is not an immigration agency, it is not a law-enforcement agency. It is a state-sponsored terror agency.

We have ~15 separate radio dispatches, one for each neighborhood, and dozens more for the suburbs/Saint Paul. Each dispatch/monitoring channel contains somewhere between 500 and 2000 people. At any given time there are probably a dozen mobile patrols and 100 on-foot observers in each neighborhood.
Does Minneapolis have a radio dispatch set up for the people who are following ICE? That's brilliant.
