The "guns don't kill people" party are now arguing that guns do kill people.
From the NY Post. You know they are really scrambling when they are running "The gun was no angel" stories.

“Why would you bring a gun to a protest?”
Pal, there are people who bring AR’s to the grocery store and you’re totally cool with that so maybe sit this one out.

Once you understand that you're dealing with murderous liars, you stop entertaining what they say as possibly credible and legitimate. The fight against them is about stopping them from terrorizing and killing by any means, not winning debates about your reality versus theirs.

No lies told. We aren’t “sitting this one out”, we’re finally letting y’all see what it feels like to fight the good fight. If we don’t progress as ONE NATION…we don’t progress at all. Black Communities have been in the fight since we got here. Yall finally making it to the party huh?
I’ve spent most of today watching videos of non-Black communities questioning, begging, and in some cases demanding that Black folx “come outside.”

One thing that irks me: people keep calling the folks on the streets in Minneapolis protestors. They are not generally there to protest, they are there to observe and document. This is the product of organizing and mutual aid. It is telling that these acts of citizenship are seen as protest!

What’s happening now in the US is horrible. It’s fascism and causing death and destruction that cannot be tamed down. However, Langston Hughes said in the 1920s that Black folks have been living under fascism for their entire existence in the US. Some of you are being extremely racist by 1/

These SAME injustices have been happening to us for years and you’re telling us it doesn’t count because now it’s happening to YOU.
You all were warned over a year ago and still thought you’d be safe.

Aside from your complete erasure of Black folks' experiences, you never learned a thing about the genocides of our Indigenous ancestors [ongoing]?
And then you use a virulently anti-Indigenous colonizer trope to itemize your clear lack of understanding?

And every one of these cases will ultimately be resolved by 6 fucking judges on the most racist and regressive Supreme Court in modern history.
Since July, I've tracked at least 2,300 cases in which federal judges have ruled ICE has illegally detained people without bond or due process.
This is one that stands out:

You could actually structure your moral code around the idea that law enforcement doesn't exist to execute people. You don't have to create perfect victim narratives, you can just refuse to accept that the state gets to kill people.
