what this should make clear to everyone in this country is that it does not matter who you are, there's no "it could never happen to me"
you can be a white woman who drives around with stuffed animals in her car, and they will still kill you in cold blood and call you a domestic terrorist

The purpose of these murders is to teach the good people of this country, who are the overwhelming majority, that the penalty for goodness is death

Any one of us could be shot or kidnapped because an ICE agent doesn’t like the look of us. Are you prepared to be murdered in cold blood while “news” sources repeat the claim you were “weaponizing your vehicle” trying to leave your driveway? They want you to accept that. They want to make it normal

From the comments: these are not law enforcement officers, they're accomplices to murder fleeing a crime scene.

In regards to shooting in Minneapolis:
Witnesses say a doctor was at the scene and tried to help the woman who had been shot, but ICE agents refused to let him through. Around 10–15 minutes later, an ambulance arrived but was blocked by ICE vehicles occupying the street.-FOX 9 Minnesota

Every second the murderer is not arrested is another second for feds to hide him in a place that would create a jurisdictional fight. He's on video killing a person. You have to arrest this guy an hour ago, but you might still have time now.

Denny is completely correct here. I'll even go a step further and say that strictly from a craven political ambition standpoint, if you're the person who stands up to this murder and takes ICE to task and doesn't back down, you become the 2028 Dem frontrunner overnight. People yearn for a leader

I’m so tired of hearing about training with ICE and the police. You can’t train racism away. You can’t train the systemic roots of white supremacy away.

I need people to wrap their minds around the fact that here in Minneapolis, ICE broke the window of a vehicle yesterday, pepper sprayed the occupants, and arrested them, and shot another observer in the face today, and OBSERVERS ARE STILL GOING OUT TO PROTECT THEIR NEIGHBORS AT MASSIVE PERSONAL RISK

Hey so this modern terror squad is doing exactly what they were hired to do. This has always been about terrorizing residents into submission. He didn't cozy up to dictatorship fans for shits & giggles. He idolized them and wants to be one.

I don't care if she didn't follow directions; I don't care if she was disrespectful; I don't care if she was noncompliant; I don't care if she spit in his face, called him ugly, and smacked his mom - "immediate execution by the state" was not warranted; jfc, this isn't complicated.
losing my mind at the "she should have followed directions" people
really? really? you're cool with "if you don't follow directions, they get to kill you"? that seems like a good state of affairs to you? that seems like how law enforcement ought to work: instant obeisance or death?

Abolish and prosecute ICE. They did a murder in broad daylight today. Imagine what they're doing in the closed facilities we're somehow not even allowed to see.

People who had loved ones on the front lines, who got Long Covid early, who were actively advising the Covid policy response, etc. were all *also* very unlikely to develop sourdough starters or complain abt school closures. It was and is real for a lot of us.

Beginning 2022, I started having arguments with people who didn't experience the loss of a loved one to COVID & associate "lockdown" with sourdough starters & WFH rather than Zoom funerals.
I just had to accept that we did not have a shared reality, nor were they willing to remember.

there’s a thread on reddit right now called “was COVID really that bad?” and it is interesting to read people’s accounts five years out
there seems to be a collective trauma response where people (outside of healthcare workers) don’t remember how many people died
someone called it anticlimactic
