I really need people to understand how totally inadequate the Democratic Party leadership is right now. The Trump Administration has sent psychotic paramilitaries into the streets to terrorize and kill and these clowns are just utterly feckless.

Democrats will continue to vote for Republican judges (like this guy, who refused to say who won the 2020 election) until Democrats are punished for voting for Republican judges

Black people five years ago: you know, they can kill anyone they want to out there Everybody today: hot damn, did you know they can kill anyone they want to out there?

“It should be crystal clear to everyone that the real threat to community safety is the ICE agents harassing, targeting, detaining — and in some tragic cases — killing our neighbors. This violence is unacceptable, it is criminal, and it is against the constitution of the United States.”

Amy Klobuchar voted for one of Trump's nominees the day after a woman in her state was murdered by ICE.

Clear-eyed, fact-based, and written to explain to normies. No “both sidesing.” No “Trump officials disagree.” No gaslighting that what we can see with our own eyes might not be true. This is journalism. Well done, @people.com

ICE is there to break the will of the American people. It is funded and armed to create chaos and fear so that a fascist govt can control its citizens. There has never been a more important time for Americans to stand up for the freedoms and democratic ideals you have talked about for 250 years

You don’t have to reach for Central American analogies. The California state legislature put a bounty on Indigenous lives and then deputized small crews to exterminate California Natives. Death squads created the USA.

This is a really good point

They're trying to escalate. They're trying to start something so they can put it down violently. Why else would she say stuff like this?

Also any Military *Police* soldier firing a shot within the United States with that little provocation would be raked over the coals. Because if you're gonna compare ICE to military forces it should probably be the military forces who are actually armed and operating around American civilians.

I know it’s not going stop the lying but the shooter who killed Good wasn’t “saving” anyone by firing at the car, he was just making it more likely more people would be hurt.

ICE’s entire purpose is to put reactionary thugs on American streets who are willing to kidnap, abuse, and shoot anyone they please.

One of the most useful things a community organizer ever told me was "if someone wants to play tug of war with you, let go of the rope." The power in any conflict lies not w/ the person who initiates, but w/the person who responds. "Thanks for sharing your perspective, you may be right." And move on

Since last year, Trump admin planned what to do if ICE agents were accused of crimes (even murder): Protect them “no matter what." Trump laid out ways to retaliate: —Refuse to hand over an agent —Charge local officials with “obstructing" —Threaten to cut off more funding led by @swin24.bsky.social

For what it’s worth, he responded to my dad-ass I’m-your-constituent DM about all of this with an “I agree!”, so he’s being consistent with the message. But cargo short dads and wine moms everywhere are tired of talk. Gotta see some follow through.

The ICE agent who killed Renee Good has been identified www.startribune.com/ice-agent-wh...

my immediate thought is they are sending vance out to eat shit for the administration

I’m sorry but this is straight up news reporting

Your daily reminder that having to do this radiates weakness, not strength. Yes, there are people who will buy this. But if they thought enough people were going to buy it, they wouldn’t have to do this. They have to do the hard sell precisely because they know how many people aren’t buying it.

Our tax dollars are paying for paramilitary thugs to terrorize schools

One of the things that genuinely shocked me as I read through surveillance logs for the police is how much of their energy and attention is dedicated to shutting down vigils and other ceremonies of remembrance.

Andor is better at getting the average American out in the street than Marx or Lenin and it pisses off the dumbest people imaginable.

For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies

Interesting that the people who threatened people's jobs and lives for simply reposting Charlie Kirk's own words are busy vilifying a woman who was shot three times in the face by the gatekeepers of the state.

No, arrest the murderer now. If he walks they will keep killing us.

I prefer "death squad" to "elite squad." Death squads are often chuds.

“They’re killing the moms, they’re killing the dads”

Noem said this because the Trump administration believes all opposition to its actions is domestic terrorism. They will keep killing us because they are afraid of us.

It’s very difficult to hear Walz ask the people of Minnesota to not turn to “violence” when the state has already turned to violence, repeatedly, yesterday and today…

These fucking politicians need to STOP CONSTANTLY admonishing protestors to be "peaceful" while they are being brutalized regularly by the gatekeepers of the state. You should be up there telling ICE and Border Patrol to be fucking peaceful.

LMAO

The pro States Rights people were lying. They just wanted your fool ass to write a bunch of political theory op eds about fed vs state govt until they were in control and they made you look like a goddamn idiot. Debate me is such good bait for idiots who read one book and lots of pundits ate it up

the federalist is pushing for a military invasion of minnesota, accusing the state's democratic leaders of "stochastic terrorism" and incitement to violence against law enforcement by telling people to resist i.c.e.

For what it’s worth, Gov. Walz opened his press conference right now recognizing Renee Good “and her wife.”

it's sort of funny that white is now an epithet on the right if paired with woman and liberal

Lol looks like they're throwing their hands up. If I'm a Minneapolis taxpayer I'm losing my mind. It's not safe to go out on the streets because ICE might shoot you but even if that happens local cops aren't about to investigate

That's not even English: "we expect that all the policies and procedures of review will be exactly that he acted appropriately." Unless the policy is that ICE always acted appropriately.

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.

If you're going to justify the state executing an innocent person, at least take off the cross.

"You deserve to die if you disagree with us" is their position. bsky.app/profile/atru...

This is why Trump is harping on about illegal orders. He's gonna ask troops to kill Americans here at home.

Ah well. Can't disagree here really. Americans did vote for masked agents of the state to kill innocent people, whether they understood that at the time or not. Too bad they didn't listen to anyone who tried to explain it to them bsky.app/profile/atru...

So @governorwalz.mn.gov and @mayorfrey.com what are you gonna do about it besides throw your hands up and say "oh well the Feds took the case"

This this this. I think of this every damn time someone says “this isn’t us” in response to some vicious thing a trump or his minions did. Yes it is!

Reason n+1 that you should pick up a book: the way reading offline encourages you to think is a tactical advantage against an enemy that doesn't have that tool in their kit

(This is also why they perceive other people finding jobs as a grand conspiracy against them in particular.)

A small thing, but I am noticing every news outlet that refers to Renee Good’s wife as her “partner.”
