This stuff is going to lead Trump and his leadership group towards further escalation - so far this isn't having the desired effect of giving them an excuse to crack down harder.

Shoutout to Tyrese Haliburton for being a great human being

The damm is breaking

LMAO

The mods frantically delete comments that they don’t like

They’re saying that the posts in this Reddit thread calling out ICE, etc are being deleted. The brainwashing can’t work if people start trusting their own eyes.

For example:

lol dang

See, they *are* losing these chucklefucks with this insanity. There IS a bridge too far, and they seem to have crossed it.

Kinda hard to dissect how this aligns to any sort of serious investigation. Anyone want to check with the NRA about that?

Weird. I missed whatever the NRA said after the Renee Good shooting, but I'm curious how that aligns with their idea of a "robust and comprehensive investigation to determine if the use of force was justified".

The whole interview is worth it

I've been informed that the man in this video is Matthew James Obadiah Allen, better known as Twin Cities hip hop artist Nur-D

Director of the Emergency Management Department Rachel Sayre: “My background is in international humanitarian response in conflict zones in Yemen, Haiti, Syria, Iraq, and Ukraine. “What I've seen here is what I've seen there. A powerful entity violently and intentionally terrorising people...”

A lot of Republican Voters take their 2nd amendment rights super seriously and will be very bothered by what Kristi Noem is saying all over the place about the legality of a licensed citizen carrying their firearm. Losing some support over this is likely.

Melissa Joan Hart is a legit card carrying conservative republican we are through the looking glass.

At some point people need to grasp that there literally aren't "constitutional rules" right now because literally nobody is enforcing any of them. None of the rules matter to the current regime.

It was obviously time for the Senate to do its job back when Trump was impeached for trying to conduct a coup... Or perhaps before that when he was impeached for his conduct wrt Ukraine... But better late than never?

Very curious how far the Executive branch is willing to demonstrate their disdain for the Legislative branch. Autocracies typically keep the sheen of some semblance of democracy to mitigate against outright pushes for insurrection. Putin has a parliament; Xi has the National People's Congress.

There's a prison revolt at a concentration camp in Texas in solidarity with Minneapolis:

Reminder, the National Guard reports to the State Governor, except in Washington DC where they report to the President.

Something worth noting about the shooting is the *number* of shots they fired into the victim's body when he was already incapacitated. Reminds me of the Sammy Yatim shooting in Toronto where the jury found the Officer was guilty because he fired so many times into Yatim after the initial burst.

this is clear & expert reporting (by journalists trained in visual investigations at berkeley's human rights center) demonstrating ICE's execution of alex pretti

"violent riot"... There are like 2-3 individuals in the street before the altercation begins, and they immediately pepper spray the victim the moment he tries to aid the woman that fell. None of this matches reality.

This is very significant (warning another video of today's incident). This video doesn't focus on the shooting itself, it shows the altercation that led to it VERY clearly, and then shows one of the agents disarming the victim and running aside with the victim's weapon as the first shots ring out.

Well, at least someone speaking for the Democrats rises to the occasion.

The NY Times, WaPo and various other major outlets have described what happened in pretty clear detail. They aren't parroting the regime narrative that the victim was a "domestic terrorist". This is an obvious sign the regime has less power than people seem to think.

I think a part of the comparison between the rise of the Nazis to absolute control over Germany and what Trump and his cronies are trying to do in the US that is persistently overlooked is that the popularity of Hitler and the Nazi party grew *substantially* once they seized power.

If the world of "middle powers" Carney referred to doesn't actually shift it's behaviour and arm itself to actually deter the likes of Trump and Putin... Very little of their rhetoric will matter.

This random online comment from 2018 remains one of the last half-century's most important works of political commentary. crookedtimber.org/2018/03/21/l...

The unstated consequence of these demands remaining unmet hangs over them...the executions will continue until you comply.

Ok so, DHS is blocking access to the crime scene for local Minnesota investigators, who are now calling in the state National Guard for support. This is escalating fairly rapidly.

So the US DHS wants people to believe that a Registered ICU Nurse who treats Veterans was intending to "massacre" ICE agents, because he was a "domestic terrorist". None of this makes any sense.

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

I am a climate scientist and this is correct. As the planet warms, storms like the one today are getting stronger… and as the Arctic is warming twice as fast as the mid latitudes, it increases the risk of the “freezer door” swinging open. Technical explanation here: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

Ok wow. This is gross. How rapidly does this cause backlash (if any) in Ontario?

Hard for the Feds to deny all of this when social media postings are shared so rapidly. I have sincere questions about how rapidly they try to restrict media sharing as a result of this. Restricting what people can do online is a major part of any authoritarian regime.

As I was saying earlier. They are amazingly predictable.

We are asking community to please submit any photo or video evidence here: hennepinprosecutor.evidence.com/axon/communi...

They executed a REGISTERED NURSE bsky.app/profile/alex...

The mass distress and panic of everyone trying to document all of these atrocities *on their phones* while screaming for other people to call 911 is alarming/distressing. People making the decision that recording these interactions takes precedence over dialling for an emergency is horrifying.

Ok this is by far the clearest video of the whole situation we have seen so far... Strong caution to those avoiding the footage of the shooting - this is graphic. You can see the ICE agents unholster their weapons *after the guy is already being held down on the ground by multiple other agents*.

BBC coverage of the incident www.bbc.com/news/live/cj...

People are definitely setting up a barricade of trash cans and this couch, in the middle of the street where ICE is. "That's my couch," said a woman standing nearby. "It's been on my porch for four years because it won't fit up the stairs. My neighbor will be pleased it's gone now."

This is crazy. These are just regular people out here, wearing snow goggles and gas masks, holding cardboard signs telling ICE to GTFO of MN as federal agents spray tear gas and set off flash bangs or whatever the hell those booms are. More people rolling out trash cans, and now couches.

Feels like a goddamn war zone out here. The constant sound of helicopters, people loudly shouting and cursing at ICE, flash bangs, tear gas, so many people in gas masks and/or face coverings. There's also a drone hovering above the crowd now.

People here are PISSED and not leaving. One older woman is crying after getting tear gas in her face. But she not leaving. Another loud BANG from the ICE agents. More smoke in the air. More trash bins.
