“If you raise your voice I’ll erase your voice” said an ice agent. Insane

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Government is instituted for the common good: for the protection, safety, prosperity & happiness of the people; and not for the profit, honor, or private interest of any one man, family, or class of men. - John Adams #Truth

Better have that judge on speed dial....🤔🤔🤔

The government now knows they will be removed and prosecuted if there is an election. And they will act accordingly. We cannot be surprised. We must be prepared.

It turns out that when the good guys do have guns they still get shot in the back by Federal thugs.

Pretti, a 37-year-old nurse, was shot and killed by ICE agents on Saturday.

If you're wondering what the world thinks, Spanish news is reporting these incidents as public executions.😢

They want us to fear the state. That’s what fascism looks like.

Where are all of these Blue followers coming from? #resist

Cold outside, but cozy and warm inside.

Walz: "We have got children in Minnesota hiding in their houses, afraid to go outside. Many of us grew up reading that story of Anne Frank. Somebody is gonna write that children's story about Minnesota."

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

Thank God there were people filming. This administration would have said Alex Pretti pulled a handgun, a package of fentanyl, and a signed copy of the Communist Manifesto if they could.

NEVER FORGET HIS KINDNESS:

You can't be neutral to fascism.

Food for thought🤔...

Union Square, NYC

American citizens are under attack with a shoot to kill order from our government. Everything is severely broken. He needs to GO NOW!

Protests in the city have persisted for over two weeks following an ICE officer’s fatal shooting of Renee Good.

We should debate details. That said: When a state kills one of its own citizens, the state then has responsibility. Even if the citizen was "in the wrong," the state still bears the responsibility for truth & accountability. When the state refuses, it's not a democratic state anymore.

This is how fascism comes to America. It’s the endless events, day after day, until one day you wake up in a different country. Anti-immigrant rhetoric, censorship, attacks on universities, masked terror squads murdering people in the streets, enemy lists, denaturalization, camps

LIES!!! ALL LIES!!!!!!!! DHS HAS DECIDED TO BE KILLERS! JUDGE!!! AND JURY!!! EVEN BEFORE THE BLOOD STOPS FLOWING!!!!!! GET THE ICE THUGS OUT OF MINNESOTA!!!!!!!! THIS IS THE ONLY WAY I CAN PROTEST ICE!!!!!! ICE IS JAN 6th KILLERS, KKK THUGS, PROUD BOYS THUGS, FELONS!! apple.news/AYxWwjEK7RxO...

They took away his gun. Then, they executed him. They murdered an unarmed man.

I saw a video of a woman who was confronting the towns’ police chief & asking him if he was, in fact, saying that he will not uphold the laws of the country to arrest murderers & kidnappers. All he could repeat was “we’re not going to interfere in a federal operation”. The rule of law is dead.

Why are federal officers murdering citizens, and why is the government lying shamelessly to protect them? Because we elected a president with a known propensity to behave lawlessly, support violence, and lie and lie and lie. It's not complicated.

We are allowed to form opinions and jump to conclusions without all the evidence. We’re just regular civilians on social media. Government officials responsible for investigating deadly shootings should not be doing the same thing we are.

Holy shit. This speaks volumes about the midterms ahead.

Hundreds of Businesses Join General Strike Against ICE “We cannot simply sit by and allow this to continue,” one labor union president said. “We must use every tool that we have to fight back.” #GeneralStrike #Minnesota www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

WOW on Pretti's denial of medical treatment "I informed the ICE agents that I am a physician, and I asked to assess the victim. At first, the ICE agents wouldn't let me through. ... But none of the ICE agents who were near the victim were performing CPR, ... None of the agents were helping him."

ICE is trying to defend their latest shooting with a claim that the victim had a gun. Notice the nuance of the use of "had" vs "threatened." It is legal to have a gun in Minneapolis with permit. They arrested witnesses and tried to block local PD from investigating. The corrupt coverup has begun.

Speak Truth....
