“He certainly shouldn’t have been carrying a gun. I don’t like that he had a gun,” Trump says about Alex Pretti.
“I don’t fucking care that they have guns, they’re not here to hurt me… Let them in,” Trump said on J6.
Get it? 2A is only for those who support him and his tyrannical regime.

The current position of the Republicans in Congress: They would change nothing that ICE and CBP are doing, and they'd allow massive increases in funding for what they're now doing to go ahead. They're just fine with the current policies, practices, and governance of ICE and CBP.

One thing that irks me: people keep calling the folks on the streets in Minneapolis protestors. They are not generally there to protest, they are there to observe and document. This is the product of organizing and mutual aid. It is telling that these acts of citizenship are seen as protest!

Trump is coming after all of us. All of us who oppose his tyranny and brutality. All of us who defy his dictatorship. All of us who seek accountability and challenge his murderous goons.
All across America we must rise up against this oppression, as peacefully but as definitively as we can.

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

I'd love to see either of them move slightly past "just woke up from a nap"
Just once I'd like to see Schumer or Jeffries angry. Authentically angry. No elegance or solutions are necessary, but purely reactive or instinctive. Some indication that they feel -- that they are capable of feeling -- what we are feeling.

Anecdata:
—Life in DC in recent months has been shadowed by omnipresence of National Guard. But almost no one "hates" the NG members, or blames them. They're doing their best, mostly ramping down rather than amping up tensions.
—People around the US fear and *hate* ICE and CBP cowards. For cause.
