Gavin Newsom caved on ICE like a punk ass coward?

Gosh, I wish I were shocked.

Perhaps some MAGA folks have no problem defending Trump’s cover up of the Epstein files because they grew up in churches that covered up the sexual scandals committed by their pastors

ICE agents only do this because they are extremely well-trained and experienced with the situations they are creating
ICE agents fled from the crowd and left behind their CONOPS battle plan for Minneapolis, including agent's names, hotel rooms, phone numbers, boxes of license plates, and tac radio frequencies.

the best encryption in the world can be broken in an instant by a snitch! technology can’t save you from the simple fact that the easiest & most common way cops find out what was said in private is not hacking or warrants or subpoenas, it’s somebody straight up telling them!!
I need people who don’t live in the Twin Cities to stop telling people not to join massive Signal groups right now. People are doing it. They’re going to keep doing it. Give them good advice about it.

The actually practical advice is don’t say anything to 1000 strangers you wouldn’t say in public

oh gosh yes truly one of the biggest obstacles to home ownership is the capital gains tax on selling your vacation home. y’all know you’re allowed to actually read what his bill does and not just repeat his framing of it verbatim, yeah?

It is literally unconstitutional - fought a civil war and had a whole civil rights movement over this - stopped and even cuffed and detained for not being white. And they want to be able to revoke citizenship. Think about that.
Dear Black people,
they’re coming for us too.

ICE flashbanged and tear gassed a van full of children, including a 6 month old. The children were all hospitalized.

When will enough be enough?

ProPublica reporters have gone deep on the implements that ICE and other federal agents are using on the streets of Minneapolis. From 2020, on tear gas: "It has been found to cause long-term health consequences and can hurt those who aren’t the intended targets" www.propublica.org/article/tear...
Tear Gas Is Way More Dangerous Than Police Let On — Especially During the Coronavirus Pandemic
In the middle of a respiratory pandemic, law enforcement agencies have used tear gas in especially dangerous ways. The chemical agent also seeps into homes, contaminates food, furniture, skin and surf...

The complicated reality is there are 3 things happening simultaneously:
-Trump preternaturally understands the ebb and flow of the media and does perform for it
-His inner circle is in a mad dash to turn the US into a fascist ethnostate
-Like all authoritarian regimes, they're grossly incompetent
Cripes a’mighty people, Steven Miller is not staging a militarized ethnic cleansing and sending the border cops to murder people in the street to distract from the Epstein files. He’s doing it because he and Trump (and Vance and Homan and Noem etc) really really want to.

of course an ICE agent shooting a woman didn't "take the bait", that's a tragedy we have to Wait For The System to handle. did you hear someone broke a window? Scandalous.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey says 29 people were arrested in downtown last night during a noise demonstration at a hotel reportedly housing ICE agents: "For those that are taking the bait and causing property damage or otherwise, there are consequences. We're holding the line here all the way."

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.

I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

I’ve heard from multiple friends today about daycares being raided and parents being ripped out of cars (in one case with a child left behind in the backseat). Grim times here.
The situation in Minneapolis is insane: seemingly many large convoys of heavily armed masked men, blocking off streets at random, grabbing people nearly at random, racing around the city with no discernible plan or aim. Under attack by our own government the day after it killed someone

The scale of the protests in Iran are absolutely unbelievable. Hard to quantify, but I've seen some speculation that this uprising is more significant than the 2023 protests (themselves the largest challenge to the regime since it came into power in '79.)
