A Christian mom whose first name means “reborn” & whose surname name is “Good” forgiving her murderer seconds before being executed is the sort of thing that I’d probably regard as a sign if I were disposed to that sort of thing.
We joke about "the writers" being heavy handed, but that they murdered someone with THIS name is an especially big fuckup by an evil administration that needs to be able to control the messaging.
Online and on the streets, protesters are expressing their rage and grief at an ICE agent’s killing of Renee Nicole Macklin Good through art. “In a world full of Trumps and Noems, be Good,” read one protest sign.

ICE is going door to door in Minneapolis and rounding up people of color. We are living in Nazi Germany

One basic pattern here is that DHS officials are engaging in violence simply because they are irritated at citizens protesting them. There is no plausible threat of violence here. He just wants to inflict pain, and believes there will be no penalty for doing so.
Big clash this afternoon between DHS agents and protesters in a residential street in Minneapolis, following a DHS agent hitting another vehicle. Tear gas was deployed in people’s yards and agents pepper prayed people.

Trump's thugs are going hog wild and tossing gas around in one of the busiest commercial districts in Minneapolis, just a mile or so from where I live. Complete insanity.

Note that the fascist is not using the pepper spray for crowd control. He is entering a vehicle unimpeded to depart. He is simply using the pepper spray to physically punish an unarmed citizen he doesn't like.

From a good friend in Minneapolis: "Target is allowing ICE to stage in their parking lots, use their restrooms, and abduct people from inside their stores - so if you weren’t boycotting already, now is the time." They were staging in Chicago as well.

Local parents groups asking if adults can ride school buses to help protect children from ICE after a special ed bus got stopped this morning. Like a Dirty Harry movie except the villain in the federal government.

there is no coming back from this without prosecutions up and down the entire chain of command
A video of ICE agents conducting door-to-door searches today in Minneapolis
The homeowner requests a warrant repeatedly, is told they don't require one, then is told they're getting it, then the agents storm in anyway
They also point a taser at her to try and disrupt filming

Patty, a woman observer in Minneapolis, was abducted from a car by federal agents today. She was released and talked about her experience in custody.
An agent said, "You guys gotta stop obstructing us. That's why that lesbian bitch is dead."

Tillis is spot on. The Senate can't confirm a Trump toady to succeed Powell at the Fed. The rest of the game is now out in the open, and it doesn't end well.

KO'ing everyone's 401k the week they started bragging about murdering citizens in the street on camera is the behavior of people who are on actual drugs. Not metaphorically, it's the behavior of people with underlying mental illness on uppers and steroids who are starting to feel cornered.

It looks like what is going on in Tehran, but it's the United States of America.
Tonight in Minneapolis.
Federal agents are deploying tear gas and sting balls against activists on the street outside the Whipple Building, where ICE operations are based.
