The National Guard is still patrolling DC, carrying handguns & long rifles, patrolling vibrant community spaces in packs to intimidate residents, especially Black residents, of the city.
Keep that in mind as you see the videos of them handing out pizza & coffee in MN.
NYT push alert: "A person was shot dead today during a struggle with federal agents in Minneapolis, according to officials."
By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.
Doesnโt it make you crazy? Doesnโt it turn your blood to fucking gasoline?
Not exaggerating when I say that the collective action in Minnesota will be studied for generations if not centuries to come
the worlds to loud for my audhd partner so iโll do all the chores and take them on a picnic i think.
NEW โ ICE violence has spread well beyond Minneapolis, with agents landing in small cities like St. Cloud. I spoke with Alice Valentine, a local queer trans woman, who protested ICE on Monday and was pepper sprayed, beaten and jailed as a result, along with her girlfriend.
This is Alice's story:
They nearly killed this woman. Then they went on national TV and tried to smear her.
I just want it to be really clear, to people from out of the area, if they see pictures of fires in Minneapolis: THEY WERE STARTED BY ICE. NOT BY PROTESTERS. NOT BY RESIDENTS.
Hey with the intention of starting a two year long D&D campaign with you
She smiles at the man who shoots her and says she isn't mad at him. Clearly initiates the effort to leave when the aggressive agents arrive.
The question now (not that this was in question) isn't who's telling the truth. It's when DHS had this video and knew that what they were saying was a lie.
I wish people were as horrified about immigrants being kidnapped and killed in detention centers as they are about this shooting at the same time I am very glad there is finally some larger momentum building against this and I hope it sustains.

In 2016, Ghislaine Maxwell falsely stated, under oath, that she was not aware that Jeffrey Epstein recruited underage girls for sex (you know, the ones she was actually recruiting on his behalf). She was charged with two counts of perjury for this.
Remind me why we give a shit what she says now?
The zoomers havenโt rebranded anything. This is corporate America denormalizing vacation.

Don't doom scroll.
Put down your phone and sleep as best you can.
Get up when you're supposed to and don't skimp on breakfast.
What you have control of right now is you.
Start there.
Maintain that.
Be good to yourselves.
Be good to each other.
Trumpโs attack against Iran is illegal and immoral. And any leader who tells you otherwise is lying to you.
If youโre in LA in a public space this month and someone tries to get you to sign a petition about wages and voting DO NOT SIGN IT.
this is businesses trying to repeal an ordinance that increases wages for workers in hospitality spaces ahead of the Super Bowl, World Cup, & Olympics.
Do not sign!

Welcome to America, where protesting illegal kidnappings without due process is an insurrection, but attacking the nationโs Capitol is not.

Also yesterday: China pledges $500m to WHO, helping to cover the budget gap from US withdrawal.
As the US cedes diplomatic goodwill built over decades of humanitarian work abroad, other countries will quickly fill the void.
