During the Soviet era, at times of govt instability, the state broadcaster would typically preempt scheduled broadcasts by airing performances of Swan Lake
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.

This is great. For one thing, protesters are safer in the presence of National Guard soldiers by orders of magnitude. Second, the approach embraced by the Minnesota Army National Guard makes ICE and CBP look so incredibly small and weak.
Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

If the state can label a law-abiding citizen doing nothing but exercising their rights as a domestic terrorist – in spite of overwhelming evidence to the contrary – then no one (regardless of political persuasion) is safe.

In 1775 a lot of people were unhappy with the King but they weren’t necessarily ready to commit treason. That changed when the King’s troops started shooting their neighbors, stealing food, and raping women.

If you don't feel safe in your everyday life, it isn't surprising that people decide that is the time to speak out.

Exactly ... no more funding for ICE is the bare minimum.
And Dems can't compromise if the Republicans attach some cosmetic training provisions.
The killings and occupation of American cities need to stop.

Keep pushing. This is the bare minimum. EVERY Democrat needs to commit to abolishing ICE. No money for Democrats until they make that explicit commitment.
🚨 JUST OUT from @schumer.senate.gov ▶️ "“Senate Democrats will not provide the votes to proceed to the appropriations bill if the DHS funding bill is included."
Now we are going to need him and every one from Sen. Dem to hold the line.

my limited vantage is that signs at protests and marches have gotten much less “cute” over the last year (fewer jokes) and have embraced more specific demands (government shutdown, national strike, abolish ice, trials)

One thing I will say, as a non-reactionary believer in gun rights, the idea you can be executed just for carrying a gun (with a permit no less) is the exact thing gun rights people have been railing on for years.
There is a fomenting lurch largely missed by the kinds of people on here.

The federal government is executing American citizens in the middle of the street for exercising their constitutional right to freedom of speech.
This is tyranny. No free people can accept this kind of government. We need to bring an end to the Trump regime.

If there is no distinction between filming and resisting with equal and opposing force then people will inevitably make a very reasonable and rational decision when the alternative is being disappeared by the state

Politicians who call for residents to remain calm while making appeals to the oppressors will quickly be shunted aside and replaced with hard-line extremists if they don't take concrete action to protect their communities.
People want bold leadership and guidance and they will find it somewhere.

I attempted to go to an ICE patrol training here in LA this morning and they had to turn most of us away because of capacity issues and even as I was leaving I saw a ton more folks showing up
so that’s how well their attempts to scare everyone away are going, even in the face of murder

Absolutely nothing could be worse for our cause than violence and rioting. It is what ICE and Trump obviously want. Do not burn down our own city to protest invaders; they do not care; they will enjoy it. Do not do it. Do not let your fellow protesters do it.

yeah the very grim truth of nonviolence is that the two primary things it does are “demonstrate that violence will not move the opposition, that they can brutalize us and we will not abandon our cause” and “garner wider sympathy via being brutalized by the state”
