They don't have capacity to terrorize more than 2-3 cities at a time. Which means they rotate teams to new cities without relief. Which means consistent resistance by fresh activists in each new city will break them over time. Which means if you're city's not occupied, rest up and get ready.

So just found out that Audible have silently removed six audiobooks from my library. Because I noticed, and complained, they gave six credits to buy them back again. They did this because the publishers updated the books and Audible just deleted the old versions.

ICE surveillance is directly connected to ICE violence. One of the most concrete things that progressive leaders can do in cities targeted by ICE is work to roll back surveillance ASAP: -Cancel contracts with Flock -Ban facial recognition -End private camera registries -Data privacy protections

According to my sources, the FBI was initially open to a concurrent investigation with the MN Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (the state agency that would do this investigation). Trumpy U.S. Attorney Daniel Rosen heard about this and intervened, barring the FBI from cooperating with local police.

"Secret police" is often misunderstood to mean a force that operates covertly, with all their operations secret. But a secret police force's actions are often public. The secret part is hiding their identities, because they're breaking laws to hurt politically disfavored people, and fear reprisals.

Part of the excuse offered for law enforcement officers is that they have to make split second decisions in a confusing situation. Well, the same goes for people trying to comply with their instructions - but without the training. Standards on use of deadly force must take that into account.

Call me crazy, but if someone actually were trying to run you over, shooting them to death doesn't actually remove the threat. It just means their now-dead leg weight is still on the accelerator but there's no control over the steering. These shootings are plainly retaliatory, and always have been.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but cops are not allowed to shoot people just because you didn't do what they said. That is called murder when they do that. Some cops are working hard to convince people otherwise.
