Why Vance Committed So Hard to the Minneapolis Shooter The vice president knows what ICE means to MAGA.

"The point is to prove that the fearsome power of the American state is being wielded by righteous MAGA hands against despised MAGA targets."

FUCK ICE (again)

(3/3)

"ICE social-media accounts set videos of armed force against defenseless individuals, against a soundtrack of pumping music. Violent arrests of nonwhite men, thrown to the ground and cuffed, are cut to the 1977 hit 'Cold as Ice', which features the lyric 'Someday you’ll pay the price…'"

(2/3)

Fascism demands the obedience of an in-group. In exchange, it provides this group with the ecstasy of watching the sadistic abuse of a designated out-group.
They broadcast this violence, or publish it, to remind viewers how powerful they are:

(1/3)

Its purpose in the future may be to protect MAGA political rallies, disrupt political opposition rallies, disrupt elections by intimidating voters, manipulate elected leaders by intimidation… and even perhaps, one day, to assassinate political rivals.

ICE is no "law enforcement agency". It's Trump's Sturmabteilung. Comprised of untrained, violent white nationalists — including participants in his 2021 auto-coup attempt — its purpose, for now, is to terrorize the public.

I used to live near the opposite shore. The lake looks the same from there, except backwards…

From which side of the lake?

Great photos.
