They deploy wanton violence to try and cow the people around them, but they're very much mistaken about how people will react to state-sanctioned paramilitary thugs lynching their neighbors. I know I can't be the only one *more* ready to risk a bullet after today.
It takes an enormous amount of courage to stand there, keep filming, and scream "What the fuck, you asshole" at someone wearing a badge who just shot and killed one of your neighbors in cold blood.
I need people to wrap their minds around the fact that here in Minneapolis, ICE broke the window of a vehicle yesterday, pepper sprayed the occupants, and arrested them, and shot another observer in the face today, and OBSERVERS ARE STILL GOING OUT TO PROTECT THEIR NEIGHBORS AT MASSIVE PERSONAL RISK

1/2 Remember that the great disruptions of past 11 1/2 months are from the WHIM OF ONE MAN:
—Upheaval of world economy via tariffs
—Effective dissolution of longest-standing Western alliances (NATO, North Amer partners, cultural-scientific-educ-aid institutions, US "soft power" overall.)

The demonization of Somalis is no different than the demonization of Haitians before the election. It's a political attack and has to be actively fought—not through half-measures or expressions of tepid concern but by demanding decency from society and respect for all of humanity.

the fascism is mostly done being nice at this point, but it got here through well dressed men politely asking questions while the rest of us were scolded for pointing out where those questions led

Thinking about those months of dialogue on whether or not it was against the rules to mention white supremacy. Remember that?
This should not be shrugged aside. They have stopped with the fake 22 million illegal immigrants things and are flat out saying we want to deport 10's of millions of citizens and legal residents from "third world countries" Basically they are advocating removing 1/3 of the population on a gov site.

I just can’t really stomach it. And they both mostly are getting a pass on it.

Trump allowed the richest man in the world to condemn potentially millions of people to death. In a just world, this moral atrocity would follow all involved — Musk, DOGErs, Vought, Marco Rubio and Trump — like a trail of blood for the rest of their days.

I was honored to stand alongside Mahmoud Khalil, who was wrongfully detained, to introduce my Dignity for Detained Immigrants Act.
He and the thousands of immigrants in detention or who have been detained deserve better from this country.

One of the worst parts of the modern condition is having to listen to billionaires airing out the stupidest policy ideas, random musings, and other mental detritus. It’s unbearable.

EVERYONE should watch this jaw-dropping exchange. Bennie Thompson asks simple questions and receives stammering answers, highlighting the political BS like nothing I’ve ever seen. Astonishing.
GLASHEEN: Antifa is our primary concern right now. That's the most immediate violent threat we're facing
BENNIE THOMPSON: Where is antifa headquartered?
GLASHEEN: ... ... ... we are building out the infrastructure right now
THOMPSON: What does that mean?

ICE detain U.S. citizen for looking Somali—use illegal chokehold to tackle him to ground.
Man repeatedly begs agents to look at his digital passport ID—they refuse.
Drove him 7 miles away before releasing him alone into Minnesota snow storm—told him to "walk home" in freezing weather advisory.

Democrats can retaliate against these GOP gerrymanders with new maps in Illinois, Maryland, Oregon, & Virginia.
They could flip 7 GOP seats to make up for this & new GOP maps in Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, & possibly soon Indiana.
Imposing costs is the only way to deter the GOP from doing this
