This morning I watched two US citizens being forcibly abducted a block from my house.
This is not OK.
If what's happening right now here in Minneapolis is a sign of what's to come across the country — fuck. It's bad.

The ludicrous lying about this shooting -- so easily belied by video -- should be seen by the media as the act of a weak, desperate, deteriorating man. Reupping: presswatchers.org/2025/11/ever...

If the Dems started calling for the people to exercise their 2A rights to carry, we could also power entire cities with the energy generated from Republicans melting down
A ruling left of center party giving everyone permission to get AR-15s and FGC9s and Ruger RXMs with full mags in places like Chicago and LA while Republicans become the CUCKED party of "well do you REALLY need thoooose come onnnn!" would be such a delicious Uno reversal.

In the NYT video, the gold SUV the ICE shooter is in is behind the victim here.
Then it’s in front of her, blocking her in. He stopped her from driving off. Then got out of his vehicle to film, blocking her in person, then shoot.

I wrote up a lot of "police-involved shootings" in chicago, so I get it, it's tough to figure out how to frame things in the moment and it's seductive to defer to authority
but also part of the job is being able to say it out loud when authority claims a thing that is provably untrue

every couple years, newcomers to the movement think "THIS is finally it, the moment when the dam breaks and the whole system is overthrown"
and when it doesn't happen they lose patience and get disillusioned and drop out of movement work
gotta build for long term
