Full rights and citizenship actually means they’re not a “foreign labor class.” And that’s what he’s angry about. He’s mad citizenship is universal rather than restricted to white people like before the civil war bsky.app/profile/gbbr...

It’s entirely legal to record LE officers from your car. So they’re brazenly, illegally terrorizing this woman for exercising her constitutional rights.
Yet we know that none of these officers be held accountable. We know this administration encourages this behavior.
This is police state stuff.

There has been no deescalation. Not in rhetoric from DC or on the ground. This is a disgusting way to talk about a federal union worker who cared for veterans.
Ron Johnson on Minneapolis: "What President Trump laid out in terms of his requirements for deescalation I think the vast majority of Americans agree with. This is ginned up by the radical left. They've now got a couple martyrs. This is the predictable result of inciting people toward violence."

The toughest people these ICE/BP guys have ever encountered are a male nurse, a lesbian poet, some grandmas, and folks in little cars like a Honda Fit.
It's shattering their worldview and sense of self.
Wasn't supposed to be this way. The podcasters and X posters and supplement sellers said so.

NEW: There are 2,400+ elections for DA & sheriff this year.
These matter hugely to criminal justice & policing—including: *these are often officials who decide ICE collaboration.*
So I took a dive into these 2,400+ races to identify early hotspots and battlegrounds.

One of the lesser-discussed campaigns of the civil rights era was the one MLK led in Albany, Georgia, in 1962-1963.
The sheriff there, a man named Laurie Pritchett, was radically different from most sheriffs of his time and place. He actually studied the civil rights movement and took it seriously

Trump compromised the m-f Holocaust museum.
The US Holocaust Museum being more outraged by Tim Walz saying that, like Anne Frank, children today are in hiding from armed agents of the state, than they are about the fact that children are in hiding from armed agents of the state, is why Holocaust remembrance culture is in crisis.
