I didn't watch the SOTU or the Dem remix. My brain can't handle that kind of batshit crazy right now. Still:
Trump needs to pick a fucking lane - Either Dems sweep him in midterms and move to impeachment OR everything is great and don't look behind the curtain while he grifts us all into oblivion.
Because the late stage capitalist patriarchy LOVES putting white cis het women on the spot for white cis het men's toxic shit while we quietly oppress anyone who isn't a white cis het man!

Former ICE agent:
On my first day training new cadets, I received secretive orders to teach them to violate the Constitution by entering homes without a judicial warrant.
Dear DOJ:
We are not moving on from the Epstein Files.
When the U.S. Supreme Court said that you could detain people based on their race, their accent, or the language they spoke… there is nothing to preclude ICE from doing that while you’re standing in line getting ready to cast a ballot.

Ossoff: "You're seeing what I'm seeing, right? The president posting about the Obamas like a Klansman."
Um...So sayeth the Lord?
Amen?
Honestly, both are reasonable as a fulcrum and he was probably targeted because he filmed. My point is that we've lost the plot as a society. Arguing for his 2A rights over his 1A rights is literally antisocial behavior.
When it's taken a mere 72 hours for us to shift from defending the HUMAN BEING's right to be there to defending the GUN's right to be there, you know we've failed as a society.
Any Republicans who peel away from Trump on this but not the litany of things before are still not to be trusted. Period.

Watch the angle of the first shot -- it wasn't straight through the glass. That was the only way you could justify that she was ramming the agent. She was unarmed, turning her car around, and indicated that she was retreating with her words. "That's fine, dude. I'm not mad at you." /4
Why didn't she turn her wheels away?
She did (yes, watch the tape again) and they shot her once from the bottom left corner of her windshield before shooting multiple times through her driver side window. /3
Based on MN law, he was well within his rights to discharge his firearm in self-defense. That happened when he tried to retreat and they dragged him away from who he was defending (yes, watch the tape again). Still, he kept it holstered. Both his hands were on the ground when they murdered him. /2
Why was he carrying at a protest?
Because he was within his legal rights to do so. Also, he wasn't at a protest. He was filming ICE/CBP legally and aiding someone who was being pushed and pepper sprayed. /1
Why didn't she turn her wheels away?
She did (yes, watch the tape again) and they shot her once from the bottom left corner of her windshield before shooting multiple times through her driver side window. /3
“You can’t have guns” says President who has masked gestapo executing citizens with guns.
2A supporting veterans ought to be incensed over the murder of Alex Pretti at the hands of ICE and CBP. If they're not, they're complicit in the same fascist authoritarianism that their grandpappies fought and died to prevent.
"ICE will leave Minnesota if you hand over your voter rolls" tells you everything you need to know.
This was never about immigration or fraud. It was always about rigging elections.
The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon.

Man, I bet the NRA is going to be furious when they hear that jack-booted thugs from the federal government executed a law-abiding citizen for exercising his Second Amendment right to carry a handgun.
Any second now, I'm sure.
He was a white guy, if that helps?
Hello? NRA?
It's really too bad the United States Congress no longer exists.
Abolish ICE is now the moderate minimum position,
Prosecute ICE is where Dems should be at next.
We Stand With Minnesota.
The horrific abuse by ICE has to stop.
This is our line in the sand.
We will not stand by silently as our constitution and our country are dismantled — we will not allow it. #iceoutforgood #indivisible
206 House Democrats voted to shut down DHS today. 7 Democrats voted to fund it.
That’s like 3% of democrats. Easily fixable. No need to abandon the party over 3%.
However, 100% of ICE sucks. Abolish ICE.
I mean, I'd follow their Joshua Tree or Zoo TV tour, but...there was no 2008 European tour. The European leg of their Vertigo tour ended in 2006. 🤷♂️
ATTN: MAGA! They took the chips out of the COVID vax and put it in your CAR! 🤯😡
Growing up, my parents taught me and my sisters that white folks who stand up against white supremacy and domination are always, always, ALWAYS punished and killed alongside the targets of white supremacist domination... this is yet another facet of its violence, and how/why white supremacy endures.
Black folks are not being "mean" to you when we are truthful concerning the historical pathologies of your kinsmen...
Truth is the greatest love
College grad me for almost 20 years: The American dream is a fucking lie? Oh, ok. WAIT...It's been a lie for people who don't look, love, or live like me since the beginning?!
We can resist fascism & state violence collectively. It's going to take us all, especially those with my same privileges.
