Authoritarians want you to despair, they want you to give up Trump is powerful, but only because a lot of people gave him that power. Giving up in advance is one of the worst things you can do.
This kind of thing does point out a real ethical dilemma: block or mute?

Expect to see a surge of proud ignorance and proplawganda about what you can say about ICE agent Jonathan Ross, identified by local media as the person who shot and killed Renee Good.
In particular, expect a repeat of Rittenhouse-era “accusing him of murder is defamation” rhetoric.
It’s not.

My wife and I are pretty close to Good's age and our kid is younger than hers. I've been thinking since yesterday about what it would mean for ICE to orphan our daughter and it makes me feel sick. But if ICE thinks that's going to deter people like us from protesting, they are very, very wrong.

Pick up the phone and call the Minnesota Attorney General and demand an investigation and prosecution. ICE is absolutely out of control and is executing people on the street. Call now. None of us are safe.

Trump then pardoned the attackers.

I'm in MN and it breaks my heart that this happened, but when I saw the smear campaign that started, when Trump posted a meme Gov Walz ordered the assassination of Melissa Hortman, I cannot blame Gov Walz for not wanting to put his family through more filth by Trump. The rage is real.
Tim Walz is such a good and decent man. And seeing what has been done to him stirs a rage in me so strong that I can’t really grapple with it at times. I only know one way forward which is a promise to use that rage to bring about change and a return to decency.
Walz: "This is a concerted effort to try to destroy the president's opponents, to destroy the rule of law. And it became apparent to me that he was going to do that with me being there, and I just feel along with my family that it's the best decision for Minnesota."
