Remember, per testimony before the J6 committee, Trump told officials to remove screening equipment at the Ellipse rally meant to prevent people from bringing in firearms.
In a new interview with WSJ, Trump is, again, blaming Pretti for carrying a gun, not federal agents for for firing theirs.
“I don’t like it when somebody goes into a protest and he’s got a very powerful, fully loaded gun…. That doesn’t play good.”

The majority of organizing happening in Minnesota isn’t just peaceful, it’s INVISIBLE. Moms showing up who won’t be interviewed on TV, people whose ICE patrols don’t turn into viral video. The grocery runs, the donations, the people filming bc they happen to be there. Please remember this.

Since the GOP position has, overnight, morphed into, "Yes, there are restrictions on when and where you can carry a gun," this is the moment for gun safety groups to say, "Good. Let's discuss what those restrictions should look like."
Of course the GOP is acting in bad faith, but this boxes them in

Really hard to look at this and all the other examples of bravery and kindness from ordinary people in this moment not think also of the tremendous cowardice exhibited over the past year by some of the richest, most well-protected people in business, media and politics
Let us all have the courage displayed by the residents of Minneapolis.

I remain absolutely furious that all this shit in Minneapolis started because a barely-literate homeschooled mormon made a video trying to run up in daycare centers trying to find people of Somalian descent doing fraud despite the ringleader (a white woman) being in jail since March. Demonic.

We have been told for nearly 30 years that America needed to tolerate mass shootings because the broad availability of guns would help us defend ourselves from an overreaching federal government. That day has come. The people who said this are supporting the federal agents. Many have joined them.

There has been an increasing sense in Minneapolis that we are on our own, that our elected representatives are unwilling and/or unable to take action to get these murderous Nazi thugs out of our community. I really hope that changes today. The time for pleading TV hits ended weeks ago.

In addition to being false and malicious, this charge reminds me of the time a pro-Trump teen who wanted to be a cop saw a call for "patriots" on FB, crossed state lines with an illegally bought rifle, killed 2 protesters and wounded another, and was acquitted and celebrated as a hero by Republicans
Emmer: "The people you're seeing in these videos, the vast majority of them I do not believe are from Minnesota. These are organized chaos agents, paid agitators. The vast majority of Minnesotans that are talking to me appreciate that law enforcement has arrived, and they are happy they're there."

Thinking of my nieces, my little cousins, my godchildren, my friends' kids, and how the natural thing for an adult to want to do is protect a child. It takes a lot of dedication to losing that instinct and working against basic humanity to do something like this. This is depravity.
This guy went to work today, put a mask on, kidnapped a 5 year old child, and then used him as bait so both he and his father could be sent behind bars

Instead they are being kidnapped and trafficked

One thing I'll never understand, even assuming extreme ignorance among low-info voters, is millions of people voting for a return of the President constantly causing crises.
People really decided, "I don't mind if things are worse so long as I'm entertained by this guy burning everything down?"

“protesters” are not “clashing” with law enforcement. violent federal agents have waged war on minneapolis and regular people are telling them to get the fuck out. and last time i checked being in a group chat doesn’t mean you’re in a professional organization. it means you have friends.

The story in Minnesota is not about “clashes” or protests. What is happening here is the clearest example in my life of the government violating every basic principle America is supposedly founded upon. It is lawless, unconstitutional, and un-American.
