Something Walz just said that I want to make sure ICE heard: video footage of ICE’s behavior will be helpful in court. So Minnesota, keep those phones charged and on you.

telling the secret police they have immunity to harm & kill citizens really lays bare the hollowness of decades of right-wing GOP screeching about encroaching Big Government - it was never a problem they had with government per se, just that it wasn't being used to harm the people they wanted to

A good question grounded in two interrelated U.S. problems: 1) a deeply individualistic society that has commodified or destroyed most forms of community & 2) an ideological inability to recognize fascist state capture bc it represents an escalation of existing systems of repression.
Why are Americans not doing anything?
Why do they think that a nifty sign is enough to fight this?
I don't get it.
