The armed, yellow-vested "peacekeepers" at the Utah 50501 protest in Salt Lake City opened fire into a crowd, hitting two people: A Sāmoan fashion designer with two young kids, who died. A second-generation Venezuelan immigrant and antiracist protester who was legally carrying. Cops charged HIM.

holy shit -- acting US attorney Thompson details that Boelter went to the homes of two other elected officials after shooting Hoffman but before going to Hortman's house. One cop encountered him at the third house but thought he was a police officer.

Only 61% opposition to "deporting undocumented immigrants to foreign prisons in El Salvador, Rwanda, or Libya, without allowing them to challenge their deportation in court." When I tell you that the rule of law is under attack, this is what I mean.

Over 75% of folks in ICE custody this year had no criminal record beyond immigration or traffic issues. Less than 10% had serious convictions. Fear sells, but facts matter. #ImmigrationTruth

I don't say this to downplay the protests. It's great to see people out there. What I am saying is that if people think peaceful protest once a month waiving a few signs will topple or hamstring the regime, they're sorely mistaken. You need something like euromaidan to put a stop to this.

So after terrorizing communities and ripping families apart with ICE raids at farms and restaurants, DHS is suddenly “pausing” because of labor gaps? Wild how the war on undocumented immigrants stops the second your rosé doesn’t pour itself and your salad’s missing veggies.

I haven’t seen nearly enough people talking about this. The levels of greed and inhumane thinking on display is actually terrifying. America really is dystopian as fuck.

I did an event in DC & there was a party for donors etc after. Was talking to 2 ppl & I said "Things are so bad." They said "No this is how it is. Things swing one way, then another. It's normal." That's when I realized why Dems are toothless. They have no idea what this is. Frogs boiling in water.

Ive said this a number of times. It's amazing to see people in the streets, but until it becomes full time shutting down cities for weeks massive, it wont change the path we are on. It's good to see @esqueer.net saying the same.

It takes 3.5% leading a mass uprising and shutting down the Capitol for weeks at a time. Waiving a bunch of signs in public parks for a single day isn't going to magically do it.

Somehow when we talk about "political violence," the REAL source of political violence, the police, gets excluded.

Margaret Brennan is fundamentally wrong on the claim that public approval of mass deportations is "so high." It has never been above 60%, and has been below 50% in multiple recent polls. There is no world in which that counts as "so high."

LAT here echoes what LAPD deputy chief said on KNX: Police claim some protesters threw rocks. Let's see it. LAPD has THOUSANDS of bodcams out there. Downtown is blanketed in security cameras. Show. Us. The. Video. Then let's compare it to the use of force in response. Receipts must be checked. 🧾

Yup. Cops lie. If they claim something, make them prove it before printing it. The media must stop reporting what police say & start reporting on what they are actually doing. In the Border Patrol, they train you to say they were throwing rocks to justify the shooting.

If you weren’t convinced before - look around. The police don’t exist to keep you safe. They would look very different in form and function if that was actually the goal.

I wonder what percentage of our fellow Americans hard-support* the assassination. 10%? 15%? (Hard-support vs. soft-support, e.g. “well Democrats have to understand how they have raised anxieties by attacking values” etc. I’d say another 20% soft-support, at least).

LAPD is illegally sharing license plate data with ICE and Border Patrol. Under California law, police agencies are barred from sharing license plate reader data with out-of-state public agencies or federal entities.
