The Derek Chauvin pardon they floated isn't getting dark-skinned people in the streets like they wanted. The Trump administration needs a reason to declare martial law.

Mahmoud Khalil was inside his university-owned apartment Saturday night when several Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents entered and took him into custody.

it's why it's important for people who look 'right' to them protesting right now. Me going outside a Tesla dealership is the correct MO; if me or a grandma gets our head cracked that will go nationwide and be seen as a bad thing.

Since antiblackness isn't working as bait, they'll try to double down on Islamophobia. (Yes, I know that there are many Palestinians who practice Christianity and are white, but they are overwhelmingly depicted as brown and Muslim to fit bigoted American tropes.)

When the protests are old and white, the hands of the Trump administration are tied. They can't be violent towards people their supporters deem to be "real Americans." They can't properly demonize them as savages worthy of violence. People who must be beaten into submission.

Black and brown bodies protesting, no matter how peacefully, is always portrayed as violent by the American media. Because when black bodies are historically the product, asserting your humanity is theft. It is to be illegal and moral in in a legally immoral world.

People with the "complexion for protection" have to be the ones to step up now. We can't do it. We're the Molotov cocktail Trump is just itching to light. And he must be denied that opportunity.

they are itching for violence. All the GunTube content is about preparing for 'civil unrest'. They want targets they can shoot. And they will if granted the opportunity because it won't be 'people' they are shooting. It has to be what they consider 'people' protesting.
