The lesson from last night (and from the past week) is that the current deployment of federal agents in Minneapolis are mostly unprepared for community response and easily overwhelmed.

I’ll say it until I’m purple in the face: the IOF and the American police, military, federal forces are the same. They train together.

ICE agents have killed someone and last night shot someone who was trying to get away from them. They are assaulting people daily and performing illegal arrests. They fired "non-lethal" munitions into a car full of children and their father who was trying to evacuate. This shit is beyond insulting.

What is currently going on in Minneapolis is far past the 'what if he declares martial law' hypothetical for the practical impact it is having on people's lives. (And deaths.) They are going door-to-door, sometimes kicking those doors down, demanding papers on the street and shooting folks.
So we’re all clear that Trump is escalating ICE raids so he can trigger retaliatory violence and then declare martial law to interfere with midterm elections, right?

a video taken by the eyewitness, Emily Heller, shows agents denying a self-identified physician access to the victim and telling bystanders to “just relax.”
“How can I relax? You just killed my fucking neighbor,” Heller responded. “How the fuck do you show up to work every day?”

Yeah totally everyone was suuper safe the last time Tim Walz deployed the national guard out here!
If Walz wants to "ride the Trump administration hard" he could maybe prove it by deploying the National Guard right about now.
