When Renee Good said "I'm not mad at you" what the ICE goon heard was "I'm not scared of you." That's what enraged him. The populace wasn't fully terrorized and cowed into submission yet, so he acted to make that happen.

TWO KEY IMAGES from Minneapolis. Left: The ICE shooter, who has crossed in front, draws his gun while the car is *in reverse.* Right: when he fires--note the smoke--neither foot is in front of the car. Fool thinks he's Wyatt Earp. Really, he's just another murderer.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.

Worth a read. All of the rhetoric up to now has been designed to confuse and distract. To create an inflated sense of crisis and shock, to upset people so that they can't keep their eye on the ball. The ball here being actual authoritarian crackdown. It's here.

District and appellate courts, I think fairly, keep asking the Supreme Court to clarify what they actually meanâi.e. "If the new rule is that the Trump admin can never lose then you have to say that" and the Supreme Court keeps being like "No, you're supposed to just do it without us having to say."
