Bro is crashing out in full tactical gear outside the lobby entrance of a Home2Suites and gave himself a bloody nose by gassing himself because of a noise demonstration.
Minneapolis, MN -

Very developing situation here. FPS agents ran into the hotel. Tear gas deployed. Hotel patrons forced to put their hands up. One agent’s nose bloodied.

I thank my lucky stars every day that the autocrats we are dealing with in this country are very impatient, and not very bright.
amazing how no right-winger understands subtlety or gradual change. they bought TikTok and immediately turned it into a really obvious censorship and propaganda outfit rather than gradually shape it over time

every day that goes by, it becomes more ludicrous to imagine a hypothetical Trump voter whose hearts and minds could be changed, just now, by some latest atrocity when they were fine with everything up until then

The senseless murder of Alex Pretti is finally showing everyday folks that the Trump regime is beyond any redemption. And in an anti-religious age, it's sparked a quest for a new American morality

It's beyond politics now. This is about good vs. evil

Trump's inhumane immigration raids and two ICE murders has triggered an American yearning for a return to morality.

Happy that their support is caving in. But also, what a stark illustration of moral cowardice. Two residents of your state blown away by armed thugs, and whether or not you excused it depended on how the polls looked.

Hurting people is easy. It's lazy. Anyone can do it with the right tools and the wrong morals.

Protecting people is hard. It takes restraint and courage and empathy. They will never have that. So they can never win, in the end. Minneapolis will win.

one of the things about the right after Trump is that it sincerely has radicalized itself against every virtue
I do think that a possibly underrated dynamic in The Horrors is that the Right as it has reconstituted itself under Trump legitimately can’t understand sincere moral or physical courage

And, tonight, the network's flagship news program -- 60 Minutes -- ran a clip show of old celeb interviews to "celebrate the movies" rather than put together an episode focused on what's going on in Minnesota.
The person who publishes the Free Press — where the words “Minneapolis” and “Minnesota” never appear tonight — also runs CBS News.

“He’s killing us in the streets and we still have to pay our taxes in April” is an incredibly compelling point.
Before speaking with two armed men at the Pretti vigil last night, a man approached & asked if I was going to tell the truth. I said yes. He told me how frustrated he was at the media & the harm it’s causing to his community.

I asked if he wanted to share words for the media on camera, & he did:

Not only is authoritarianism not new, it is still in our living memory. Southern racial apartheid is more recent than the Nazis, and more relevant to understanding our current politics. As American politics have nationalized, the South anchors one of the two parties and exported its politics 5/x
