Dump Term 2 Part 3: "But I Say Unto You, Hate Thy Enemies." -- Revulsions 5:44

[FadeToBlack&Gold]

Truly, what possesses you to write everything after this sentence?

No matter what happens, Hovey is never going to react with outrage until it affects him personally. *shrug*

Why didn't they just get the license plate and let her go? I do not understand and I will never understand. Why are people so cavalier about human life? It makes no sense.

Like you said, they aren't trained to deescalate. They're trained to arrest and shoot if there's any resistance or perceived threat.

Rep. Randy Fine: "It's time for Americans to say 'enough,' and if you get in the way of the government repelling a foreign invasion, you're gonna end up just like that lady did yesterday."

It's not just the ICE goons they trained. It's also the Congress people in office. They're sick. All of them.

The Times breaks down the video. The regime is lying. The regime is protecting a man who murdered an innocent women.

ICE wouldn't even allow medical help at the scene. That's super confirmed this morning.

None of ICE is trained in de-escalation. So, I implore anyone who is going to protest to be very very careful and do it peacefully. They will not hesitate to gun you down.

I think I posted the video yesterday...I like the part when they lie about have a medic on scene.

Yes, yes you did. I got the whole story this morning, including some more video.

Posts may be a bit more sporadic from me today as my kids are home from school because my city is being brutalized by the federal government to the extent that it's unsafe for schools to be open

Don't his kids go to The Ascension School?

I believe that is correct. Can't confirm 100% though.

I bet my old school wishes they hadn't fired me because they bowed to political pressure. Whenever Minneapolis has issues they have a huge uptick.

Thune: "What happened in Minneapolis is an indication of the uptick we're seeing across the country in these protesters starting to attack ICE officers, law enforcement officers who are trying to lawfully enforce immigration law"

I am old enough to remember people saying Thune was level headed and would never tow the Trump line.

I'm worried about my daughter. She works at a school with a large immigrant population.

Well, that's great. Thune is a thug as well. He's supposed to be one of the moderates.

404 Media has obtained material that explains how two surveillance systems ICE recently purchased, work. One can track phones without a warrant and follow their owners home or to their employer. @evystadium.bsky.social has more. Scoop by @josephcox.bsky.social...

Sorry man...

 

[ScoobyDoo]

Gee, that sounds Constitutional. Can I buy one and start tracking members of the Supreme Court?

 

[beaverhockeyfan]

Well, based on precedent, I think Good's family is entitled to around $5 million from this administration. I mean, if the Babbitts get paid, then so should the Goods.

From what I understand, "well trained" law enforcement individuals know not to put their bodies in front of a vehicle. So for Botox Barbie to say that this ICE Agent did everything that law enforcement is trained to do is, as Frey put it, bullsh*t.

Or shoot at the tires so she couldn't get away?

My take is that calling it fascism matters for three reasonsFirst because I'm a historian, and I believe we need to get it rigorously rightSecond because explaining why it's fascism is an important step in convincing ordinary folks and Dem leaders alike that we are not simply a strong ...
midterm-showing away from fixing this. We need new strategies of mobilization and action, new and more forceful rhetorics, and a real game plan for defeating this and rescuing the RepublicThird, because if we and when we do win, calling this what it really is will help us understand the scale ...
of reconstruction that will be necessary. The regime, its institutions, big capital, and much of civil society have proved themselves to be deeply compromised. We need to be thinking about post-Trump reforms on an enormous scale, and calling the US an increasingly fascist state helps us do that
