Alex Pretti died defending an innocent woman from the state. He is a hero worthy of great honor. He didn't pull out his firearm, but would have been completely justified in doing so.

"Military-style..." This is literally the left-wing "weapon of war" trope repackaged by the right. I know everyone wants to win the argument over *insert current thing,* but this is so short-sighted.
POLITICAL VIOLENCE: Alex Pretti's parents begged him not to 'engage' with federal officers, but he was insistent. Now classified a domestic terrorist, Pretti brought a military style pistol with optics and between 30 and 51 rounds. He came expecting a firefight at distance. If he

A linguistics professor says during a lecture that, “In English, a double negative forms a positive... But in some languages, such as Russian, a double negative is still a negative. However, in no language in the world can a double positive form a negative.” But then a voice

ICE is going after Native Americans—you know, the one group that are definitively not immigrants.
4 Oglala Lakota men kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis have finally been located. One of them was released but the other 3 are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp used to imprison Native people incl. the Dakota 38 during the Dakota Wars.

“When officers conceal their faces and perform their duties without name tapes or badge numbers, they sever an essential connection to the public. They turn authority into anonymity. And anonymous power is what democratic systems are designed to prevent.” https://t.co/Co1D4yH4FR

It's happening. We're not there yet on diesel, jet fuel, or plastics. But the peak of US oil consumption - and global consumption - is in sight. China quite possibly hit their oil demand peak in 2025.

You keep your life only at the regime's discretion is as clear as could be. I remember pointing out the difference between officially sanctioned police brutality in Russia versus George Floyd, where the officer had a fair trial and was jailed. The WH reaction here is Russian.
Rep. Wesley Hunt: "The bottom line is this: when a federal officer gives you instructions, you abide by them and then you get to keep you life"

@marceldirsus Yes but I think it helps with the narrative for Beijing to its own citizens, for which it still needs a measure of support even in its autocracy. This “the US did it so let’s goooo” talk has already been seen a bit on Chinese social media platforms the past 24 hours.
