They keep claiming their victims are terrorists. It's easy to see who is terrorizing who.

I'm grateful for the people of Minnesota. They are doing the very hard work of opposing tyranny.

We all hoped Portland 2020 was not the beginning, but we all knew better as soon as he was elected again. Thank you for bearing witness then, and now. Truth disrupts the "nothing to see here" necessary to keep the regime in place. 🙏

Their truth will go marching on.

These goons have truly evolved into Trump/Stephen Miller's death squads, roaming city streets, ready to kill with impunity. What's so disappointing to me is that there seems to be an unending supply of ICE employees willing to sign up for this. The banality of evil indeed.

Well, maybe like Casy says, a fella ain’t got a soul of his own, but on’y a piece of a big one — an’ then—“

“Then what, Tom?”

“Then it don’ matter. Then I’ll be all aroun’ in the dark. I’ll be everywhere — wherever you look. Wherever they’s a fight so hungry people can eat, I’ll be there. Wherever they’s a cop beatin’ up a guy, I’ll be there. If Casy knowed, why, I’ll be in the way guys yell when they’re mad an’ — I’ll be in the way kids laugh when they’re hungry an’ they know supper’s ready. An’ when our folks eat the stuff they raise an’ live in the houses they build–why, I’ll be there. See?”

Stay warm. Report what you see. Even the blind among us can be made to see the truth.

video that stella carlson, the woman in pink jacket, took is even more disturbing as you have a clearer view including the moments before agents assaulted & killed Alex Pretti https://www.facebook.com/share/14RZQcxAcr8/

Fuck. They took it down but I found another source (https://files.catbox.moe/sp296e.mp4). I feel sick

glad you found another. yeah, my heart is just sinking about all this & this one in particular. safe travels to my homeland of minnesota. Waving as you drive by way north of pittsburgh where I've been hanging all fall & trying to divest myself of as I haven't really lived here for a decade & flying out to the PDX "homeland" next weds for 6 weeks to enjoy no/crappy skiing, etc .. but easier to keep house warm. Be safe & hope minneapolis "treats you well" (you know, under the circumstances)

Thank you for going to Minnesota and being a witness for all of us. Please share that all of your readers support the communities there and are grateful for the work they're doing, not just for themselves, but for all of us. Stay safe!

Incredibly powerful on-the-ground reporting. That detail about the agent emptyinghis magazine like a gamr character really captures something chilling about how desensitized these forces have become. Been following Minneapolis protests since 2020 and its clear people there wont be intimidated into silence.

10,000 plus have been murdered by pigs since 2015

The trend of fatal police shootings in the United States seems to only be increasing, with a total 1,173 civilians having been shot, 248 of whom were Black, as of December 2024. In 2023, there were 1,164 fatal police shootings. Additionally, the rate of fatal police shootings among Black Americans was much higher than that for any other ethnicity, standing at 6.1 fatal shootings per million of the population per year between 2015 and 2024.

Police brutality in the U.S.

In recent years, particularly since the fatal shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri in 2014, police brutality has become a hot button issue in the United States. The number of homicides committed by police in the United States is often compared to those in countries such as England, where the number is significantly lower.
