Cynics and defeatists share the same story as authoritarians do: that nothing is worth trying, the conclusion is foregone, hope is naïve, and attempts to resist are too small or futile. Don’t listen to them. Do not give up. Try. A better world is possible. We will win. We must.

This is an insane claim. You're arguing merely being armed in public is justification for police killing you? That's well beyond even the dubious claims DHS is making.
If you approach law enforcement with a gun, there is a high likelihood they will be legally justified in shooting you. Don’t do it!

Even Republicans on Fox News say that what ICE is doing in Minneapolis "by definition isn't working" and that the White House needs to change something to prevent the violence we're seeing.

What does the smartphone video apparently taken by Alex Pretti before he’s shot and killed by federal agents show? What agency has this evidence?
Video from the location shows what appears to be the initial interaction/confrontation between the man and the agents Note: the man appears to be holding a smartphone at his chest, indicating he might be recording video Where is his phone now?

Sayre: "My background is in international humanitarian response in conflict zones in Yemen, Haiti, Syria, Iraq, and Ukraine. What I've seen here is what I've seen there. A powerful entity violently and intentionally terrorizing people."

O’Hara: What I can tell you, is we have identified this person. 37-year-old white male, resident of the city. The only interaction that we are aware of with law enforcement has been for traffic tickets. We believe he is a lawful gun owner with a permit to carry.

"What would ICE's presence in Wisconsin look like if you were governor?” Tom Tiffany: "Similar to what we saw just in this past week..." It couldn't be clearer that Tom Tiffany wouldn't defend Wisconsinites from Trump's hateful agenda if elected governor. #WIGov

So if you have a gun on you, even though you've been pinned to the sidewalk you deserve to get shot by the federal government? Someone alert the @NRA, they have a great new case!
The details surrounding the shooting weren’t immediately clear. DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin said the person had a firearm with two magazines and that the situation was “evolving.” DHS also distributed a photo of a handgun they said was on the person who was shot.

And now ICE is shooting chemical weapons at people with the audacity to be angry at this.

A day after thousands of Minnesotans march against ICE violence, ICE kills a guy who is lying face-down in the middle of the sidewalk.

Downtown Minneapolis right now. It’s -10° and the streets are on FIRE🔥. When people march in this cold, it’s not a protest. It’s a message.

It’s -10 degrees and thousands still showed up strong in Minneapolis. That’s who we are.

There are few things more American than toughing out sub-0 degrees to protest a regime that’s stealing babies and murdering people in the street. Thank you Minnesota ❤️

Organizers handed out hand-warmers to demonstrators as they waved American flags and signs calling for ICE to leave their city.

69-22, Americans feel utility costs going up. They are. Believe your own eyes. Trump keeps inexpensive clean energy off the grid to pay off his big fossil fuel donors. It’s on purpose; a deliberate scam to make you pay more so his corrupt fossil fuel donors make more.

Trump admin is doing models to figure out how little food a person can live on while they spend money on a gold-plated ballroom for Trump.
Brooke Rollins is still at it! "We had run almost 1,000 simulations, and between $3 and $4 is a fair number if you can have access to that food. I just saw new numbers that were run: a full day, meaning 3 full square meals and a snack, is about $15.64."
