Craig: "In my district, 2 days ago a special ed teacher pulled into her school parking lot, her windows were smashed, she was taken & detained for 12 hours. I've never seen such an out of control agency. That's why as soon as I leave, I'm joining a group to file articles of impeachment against Noem"

Remember: The real freeloaders in this country are the rich — not the poor or immigrants or any other group of people vilified as scapegoats. The richest 1% evade $163 billion in taxes every year. The United States literally has yacht and private jet tax deductions. Hello?

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness.
You could be next.

How is it possible that the president of the United States proposes an invasion of a NATO territory & there is no immediate impeachment? Did the democratic system in the US completely collapse? I don't think it’s any sort of wild over exaggeration to say they are essentially now a failed democracy.

one of the weirdest things about the current moment is how the national media have to pretend like they don't know what this is about. official government social media accounts are posting about racially cleansing America and they have to pretend like it's not clear who the bad guy is.

Whatever groups Good may or may not have been a part of have no bearing on what happened the day she was killed. Nor would her membership in any group justify her killing.

Kristi Noem stated over the weekend that Americans deserve what they get if they get in the way of law enforcement operations, including the murder of Renee Good. If people get injured or killed, it's on them. Then she is sending more agents to Minneapolis. This Regime wants us killed.

In 1964, the Civil Rights Act was passed to bar discrimination based on race. In 1973, Donald Trump & his father were sued by the DOJ for refusing to rent apartments to black people. Civil Rights came into being to stop racist assholes like the Trumps, not to discriminate against white people.

It would take a two-word amendment to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 to subject ICE agents and other federal law enforcement officers to the same liability for constitutional violations that local and state officers currently face.
If Congress actually cared about what it's seeing, it could pass that overnight.

Over the last week, we’ve seen federal agents arresting, threatening, and using force against innocent bystanders.
They have carried out enforcement actions in schools, at hospitals, and in one horrific instance shot and killed someone.

For those wondering, felon and Hitler enthusiast Trump declaring himself "acting president of Venezuela" is flagrantly illegal and a violation of Venezuela's sovereignty and independence. It's also gross imperialism that threatens global security.

Q: "Do you believe that deadly force was necessary?"
Trump: "It was highly disrespectful of law enforcement. The woman and her friend were highly disrespectful of law enforcement…Law enforcement should not be in a position where they have to put up with this stuff."

And historically, they've been totally fine with various local, state, & federal govts, so long as they embrace white supremacy. They've long served as the paramilitary arm of conservative politics, carrying out beatings, lynchings, plunder, & mass violence for these "legitimate" state actors.
The anti government militias were never anti government, they just hate Black people.
