Scenes from occupied Minneapolis: "3 SUVs ICE officers driving down 21st to 42nd street. The ice officer rolled down his window and took a photo of me and said 'I got you motherfucker'. I am just a home owner going outside to see what was going on."

DHS terrorizing people this morning means they 100% plan on pushing through it. It’s an all or nothing fight, this is them pressing the issue on whether or not they can walk into a city and brutalize Americans (libs and minorities) as they please.

Today ICE murdered a woman in cold blood in Minneapolis. In a democracy, this insane act of violence would get a full investigation. Firings. Jail. In fascism, innocent victims are merely labeled "enemies of the state." No investigations needed. Thus, state-sanctioned violence against the people.

Dems were in power 12 of the past 25 years with the chance to at least *attempt* to reduce the power of the police state and instead gleefully and massively expanded it at every single opportunity. They didn't even pretend to oppose any of this shit on principle, only the aesthetics.
