For some reason that’s been a key part of the fascist narrative - Noem made the same point
Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

According to the fascist American administration this man was a “domestic terrorist”
And he planned to “massacre agents”
And thus deserved summary firing squad on the streets of Minneapolis
This was the moment they attacked him and murdered him
Who will they murder next? Will there be justice?
All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

I just bought a subscription to the @startribune.com to show support for bringing us the truth in a time of lies
You should too!
The issue w the latest ICE shooting video isn’t whether the facts will eventually prove it was/wasn’t lawful
The issue is DHS, by its actions, has shattered any confidence when we see such videos that agents are trained, DHS will share the facts and prevent it from recurring
THAT is the issue

ICE agent asked why he's taking pictures of a legal observer's car, replies: "Cuz we have a nice little database and now you're considered a domestic terrorist. So have fun with that."

These secret police, totalitarian tactics need to be stopped."

“Donald Trump is never wrong. Think about it. Donald Trump is never wrong”
So Nehls blames Capitol Police, not Trump, for being insufficiently prepared for what he calls “a high propensity for violence that day”
And why was there a high propensity for violence that day, Mr Nehls?
Trump is doing what he said he would do - which is essentially fascism
Some thought he was just a showman trolling the libs, but this is his authentic self
He meant it, and he didn’t see the cheering as laughter at a joke, but as encouragement to actually carry out his brainless fascist vision
Trump was never going to stop at Mark Kelly, Jerome Powell, Letitia James, or me.
Targeting Minnesota officials is just Trump’s latest abuse of the DOJ, and his most recent attempt to silence and intimidate those who stand up to him. 🧵
No one can be watching this Davos speech and reach any conclusion but that the President of the United States is mentally disturbed and that something is deeply wrong with him. This is both embarrassing and extremely dangerous.

Is it slowly dawning even on MAGA that Trump isn’t putting on an act to troll the libs - that he is actually an idiot and a maniac?
