Trump's thugs are going hog wild and tossing gas around in one of the busiest commercial districts in Minneapolis, just a mile or so from where I live. Complete insanity. (vid via Ford Fischer on X)

In light of the blatant disregard for law.. Didn’t a judge rule that they couldn’t do this indiscriminately?

Given the usual traffic congestion around there, the goons are going to get stuck / separated from their vehicles if they aren't careful.

In case you wonder how far we have fallen. Priests are preparing for martyrdom to protect the public from our own government. Abolish ICE and Impeach Officials (Congress) resist.bot/petitions/PS... Protect Protestors and Residents (Generic State Officials) resist.bot/petitions/PC...

For Iran, Trump is going to use the shooting of protesters as an excuse to bomb the country some more. For the US, if protesters are shot, Trump says it's because they're "professional agitators" or shouldn't have been there.

US Citizens , KEEP PROTESTING - TAKE OVER YOUR INSTITUTIONS!!! Save the names of the killers and abusers. They will pay a big price. I have cancelled all contact with ICE until the senseless killing of protesters STOPS. HELP IS ON ITS WAY. PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP

When a student at Cal, Hubby got tear gassed as a bystander by then CA Governor Reagan. Hubby was having a beer in the Ratskeller which was a cellar. Tear gas is heavy and seeped into the bar room. He has good advice for protesters. Get trained bf protesting. Avoid being a bystander.

Witnessing is often harder than protesting bc LEOs will confront you. You must have set responses to being shoved, told you will be arrested for filming and told to move back when you are on a sidewalk.

This looks like it could be Russia, Iran, Pakistan it doesn't resemble America at all people should be studying the regimes that came to power in the thirties and forties. You don't need to go to school just read a little bit about Hitler and the Nazi and you will see clearer.

The American Gestapo are more violent, more dangerous, more active, and more threatening that Tren de Aragua or any other lawless gang they claim to be pursuing. They are creating chaos and fear using chemical weapons and lethal arms. They are causing more crime, injury, and death than gangs. 1/

Are Americans going to accept this from their government? The Trump/MAGA/GOP/Project 2025 crime syndicate needs to be stopped. They know they are losing. Losing public support, losing political support, & about to lose financial support from Congress. Instead of even PRETENDING TO CARE, they are 2/

mocking & insulting elected officials they need to pass their budget. They are defying judges, prosecutors, state Attorneys General, police chiefs & commissioners. The American Gestapo is out of control, lawless, cruel, incompetent, sloppy TRAITORS; a gang led by Trump & his pack of jackals. 3/3

Unfortunately, the nominal oppo party has no skills. They're droning on about "affordability" as if none of this is happening. Just like they were AWOL re J6 and Iraqi torture, they want to collect a paycheck for doing nothing.

Trump is starting his own fire in Minneapolis because of his hatred of the unity of the people, unity which is something he has never experienced especially in his own miserable personal life 💯

Monsters. A collection of losers, low lives, and the scum of society. Failures in life. In the future, if one of these misfits applies for a job and you see ICE or CBP on their resume, make it an instant NO - never ever hire any of these degenerates.

IT SHOULD REALLY PISS OFF FOLKS TO KNOW THAT THESE “ICE AGENTS” ARE ACTUALLY THE SAME “PROUD BOYS“ THAT TRUMP TOLD TO “STAND BACK AND STAND BY“ NOW KNOCKING DOWN $60K P/YR IN THEIR SPARE TIME WITH FREE HEALTHCARE ALL PAID FOR BY AMERICAN TAXPAYERS.

Like man whatever your stance is on immigration you must be able to see that these guys ARE the gang that they’ve been warning us about. This shit is completely out of control.

My anger reaches new heights every day this continues. How do you explain to your crying babies they are in a war zone now? Their schools are closed, there are armed men with masks throwing gas at them! THIS IS MADNESS!

I have a young son myself, and as a mother I just can’t even imagine the stress the parents in MN must be under right now. You aren’t supposed to live in fear of your own government, or worry they might harm your child because they are out of control. Or at least that’s the way it SHOULD be.

F**k ICE. You don’t want to be caught flat-footed when these ghouls roll into your town/city. bsky.app/profile/jenn...

Really good guide to starting your own ICE Rapid Response Network if your area doesn’t already have one. You only need two other people to get started! resistancekitty.com/44-how-to-sp...

Someone else is going to get seriously hurt… They want that. They are going balls to the wall with hate & cruelty. How does this end…

Nowhere is safe from the Trump goons in the cities. They’ve expanded to rural areas now as well. Maybe if Emmers voters are affected, he will stop being so blatantly pro fascism

How people will vote in the next election is irrelevant to the Trump Nazi Regime. Trump et al. will simply ignore any election results that do not suit them. To believe otherwise is believing that Hitler could be voted-out in the late nineteen-thirties.

Never been about immigration or “illegals”, all about crushing any resistance to the Trump Regime. The then German gestapo, current Russia’s police force, any “law enforcement” organisation supporting a dictatorship, follows the same methodology.

ICE is trumps own military because thank god for Sen. Kelly he told the United States military not to follow trumps criminal policies! The US military doesn’t do trumps criminal actions!!!! Thank you Sen. Kelly you are helping a lot of people that’s afraid or can’t afford lawyers fees!!!

Pretty soon there will be no safe place. Then it will become gorilla warfare. He has to be impeached and removed and we have to have a functioning government very soon or we are going to have serious violence.

We've already had serious violence. Still you're right: it could always get worse. <pedant> Gorilla = large furry ape. Guerrilla = ("little war") Irregular fighters using hit-and-run tactics against a larger, regular force. </pedant> (There's a joke in there somewhere.)

So many complicit #Trumpbuttsnorkeling reporters or Trump minimizer or Trump enablers in the media. We need more investigative reporters and less access reporters in all countries, but now more than ever, especially in America

I.C.E. is Trump‘s instant, well compensated Blackshirts, also known as the Sturmabteilung (SA) or Storm Troopers. These were the paramilitary arm of the Nazi Party in pre-World War II Germany. Mussolini, of course had the brown shirts. All identical intimidation forces. Dig it!

Reminder that so called "riot control" chemicals are banned on the battlefield, but are perfectly acceptable to use against peaceful citizens who are exercising their constitutional rights. Can't use it on soldiers with guns, perfectly ok to use against civilians with cellphones. Abolish ice. Acab.

Trump’s America is ugly. This is fucking disgusting. Congressional Republicans should be excised from congress in the midterms for fucking enabling this regime and their terrorists.

What I really don't understand is that the US justifies selling weapons at the supermarket so that the poulation can defend itself from tyrants and criminals and yet there they are, doing the killing and terrorizing.

because that was always about the gun industry making a profit. same reason they would always be like "the left is taking your guns away" despite the left having as many gun owners as the right.

Just to be clear, Renee did not try and run over anyone. But if a group of men dressed like that come up and start pulling on my door handle and standing in front of my car, im going Grand Theft Auto on their fucking asses. Fuck that. You prove in court how I was supposed to know thats a fed.

People are saying now that this happened, anyone can run over ICE with their car and claim it was self-defense, and the court precedent is there to declare you Not Guilty. Because ICE just proved even if you listen and drive away, they'll shoot to kill you.

The Russian intelligence services intervene aggressively to attack a website that leaked the names of new ICE hires, proving that Kristi Noem was aggressively recruiting and deploying Jan 6 rioters, including the head of the Proud Boys, a violent white supremacist group.

Because they are crazed militiamen who've been aiming to destroy the country for their own benefit. This is why they're so violent. They live hateful, untethered lives. They can't be reasoned with because they lack the humanity the rest of us exhibit and embrace. Violent thugs in thrall to Evil.

Arrest them. Jail them without bail. Let them experience the consequences of their actions and get a taste of what they are doing to innocent human beings just to make their quotas.

Trump is too stupid to see how much positive PR he could get by simply changing his tune, urging restraint on all sides, and saying we need to let objective justice run its course and determine what happened. And offering condolences to Renee Goode’s family. It ain’t that hard. But he’s too stupid.

Bingo! This only stops when normal people stand against it: mass civil disobedience, general strikes, frequent protests. Some studies suggest it only take 3.5% of a population actively doing this to topple a dictatorship. You all know what to do.

As a teacher at the U, I'm watching very carefully for what happens next week when classes start. Already thinking about alternatives for my students who don't feel safe coming to campus. Thanks for sharing this, although it's terrible to see.
