Maybe it's just me, but it seems an odd moment to be reorganising your law enforcement agencies on the US model, no?

États-Unis/Salvador : Des Vénézuéliens expulsés vers le Salvador y ont été torturés Des citoyens vénézuéliens que l’administration Trump a expulsés vers le Salvador y ont subi des abus dans la prison « CECOT », selon un rapport conjointement publié par Human Rights Watch et l’ONG Cri...

The Trump Administration wants your DNA and social media Yesterday the Trump Administration announced a proposed change in policy for travellers to the U.S. It applies to the powers of data collection by the Customs and Border Police (CBP).

Trump regime thugs are murdering people in the streets, kidnapping children, and sending people to be tortured.

While that's all happening, it may be easy to miss this: the regime is also shredding the idea of privacy.

NEW: A Texas county medical examiner found that Geraldo Lunas Campos was choked to death by a guard while he was held in ICE custody earlier this month.

Geraldo is the sixth person to die in ICE detention this year.

They use nazi-style slogans.

They wear nazi-style coats.

They make nazi-style salutes.

The Trump regime has no new ideas. They only know how to imitate past mass murderers - in words and in actions.

Europeans Looking at Trump It’s hard for some of my fellow Europeans to understand why Trump is sending the military to US cities. It’s hard for me to understand why some of my fellow Europeans support Trump wannabes in the EU...

The descent of the US into authoritarian mass violence should be a warning to all of us here on the other side of the pond. A military assault on your own cities? Nuts. This is not the road we want to go down.

Minnesotan here. One helpful thing you can all do is contact your senators and representatives and tell them how you feel. They are supposed to be representing their constituents! It's time for them to take decisive action to save our democracy!

ICE vilify themselves by their actions.

They kidnap people & send them to camps, send them to torture. They separate families, abuse kids. They murder people in public. And the Trump regime protects them.

Fascist. Gestapo.

Don't stop saying it until they are all in prison for their crimes.

On the weakness of state terror: once ppl internalize the regime's lawless brutality, that they are no safer in their homes than in the streets (& vice versa), and that their unwavering defiance is what confounds & disempowers the regime, they also realize they have nothing to lose but their fear.

This.

We will murder whomever we want, whenever we want, with complete impunity. There is no law that applies to our masked thugs.

Consequences... like leaders maybe thinking twice before committing mass atrocity crimes over and over?

Reporter: You received a letter from AG Pam Bondi making several demands….

Walz: I would just give a pro tip to the AG. There's 2 million documents in the Epstein files we're still waiting on. Go ahead and work on those

Protests happen, but most of what is happening in Minneapolis isn’t protesting.

More accurate terms:
- observers
- witnesses
- volunteers
- neighbors
- residents
- people

Up is down, left is right--and perpetrators are victims.

The majority of organizing happening in Minnesota isn’t just peaceful, it’s INVISIBLE. Moms showing up who won’t be interviewed on TV, people whose ICE patrols don’t turn into viral video. The grocery runs, the donations, the people filming bc they happen to be there. Please remember this.

I wish EVERY Member of Congress a voicemail & email box OVERFLOWING w/ messages on Mon. morning & EVERYDAY demanding Trump’s Death Squads be abolished & NOEM & everyone covering up evidence of murders be impeached & convicted. FLOOd them until they uphold the Constitution & protect the people.

Putin pioneered this. No opposition is legitimate. Regular, decent, “ordinary” people cannot possibly be against us because only we represent “the real people.”

Tell-tale sign of authoritarianism.

Videos Contradict U.S. Account of Minneapolis Shooting by Federal Agents See how immigration officers escalated a fatal confrontation on Saturday.

And here's the WSJ analysis, which also highlights the obvious contradictions between DHS statements and what anyone can see in the videos.

Timeline: How the Shooting of Alex Jeffrey Pretti Unfolded (Gift Article) A moment-by-moment analysis of video from the scene shows that Mr. Pretti was already restrained when fatal shots were fired, which appears to contradict the federal government’s account of the event.

The New York Times has published a timeline of events based on videos from the scene

The events of the last 24 hours show why it's important to build functional verification structures in public and counterpublic spaces to resist the authoritarian erosion of our democratic systems, as described in this thread.

Every American owes a debt of gratitude to the brave people in Minnesota risking their lives to video the crimes of Trump's masked thugs.

All of us not there should be sharing their recorded truth & doing whatever we can to end this reign of terror, and bring the perpetrators to justice.

Some say it's raining outside, others say it's not...

Look out the fecking window!

Video contradicts Trump’s claim man killed in Minneapolis was a ‘gunman’ Video evidence reviewed by Guardian shows Alex Pretti, killed by agents in Minneapolis, held a phone, not a gun

“The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thug.”
