#2Good post by Gruber on this, and kudos to him for emphasising the bravery of the citizens involved, I only hope that justice can be seen to be done, but I'm not holding my breath with Noem neck-deep in the lies already.

#4Just found:
"The agent who shot a woman in Minneapolis on Wednesday was pulled about 100 yards by a car last year while firing a stun gun at the driver."
So, this is a trend.

#5The nature of our current political crisis is changing by the minute, and with every fascist act this administration emboldens the next wave of left wing opposition.
The moderate position for future liberal candidates is now the full dissolution of ICE.
The more radical position - which is rapidly gaining support - is the arrest and prosecution of everyone involved in this administration. Starting with the president but including his cabinet and the oligarchs who spent the last year fomenting corruption and enriching themselves.

#6I feel no shame in anything I felt about Charlie Kirk’s death after seeing their response to this, and that looks like it was a team kill from conservatives.
One side of the political aisle in this country is screaming about how violent the other side is, while they are committing murder and telling us that our eyes are lying to us.
Gonna be a fun decade ahead

#7I’ll just say that I fully expect American police to shoot people in that situation. Not because it’s justified but because their whole deal is:
“Sir, stop resisting. I gave you a lawful order”
“Sir, sir, BANG BANG”
“I feared for my life”
It’s like a pitbull, right? It’s right there most of the time. Then one day it eats a baby. But you kind of knew it had baby eating ready to go. It’s sitting there ready to eat babies. Just a question of when. Then the baby gets eaten and you’re upset. But most people just stay away from the baby eater.
One day you’re walking down the street and your baby gets eaten. Justifiable? No. Your fault? Also no. But there’s baby eaters out there. Such is life.

#8Inquiry, since I know anti immigrant sentiment is on the rise in other countries. How are other countries increasing their enforcement of their immigration laws? Are there also chaotic situations where their immigration enforcers are shooting people in cars? Are there better ways for rising anti-immigrant sentiment to result in stricter enforcement with less violence?

#9It's almost like giving a nearly-completely-unregulated quasi-military force unlimited funding, more weapons than God, and no clear goals other than "deport more people" is actually a really bad idea.
People voted for this.
Oh but hey, we at least made sure to pretend to save money by firing and then rapidly rehiring a lot of the workforce.

#10Let's call Google, Microsoft and Apple accessories to extrajudicial martial law. No? We still like those guys?
Gruber needs an identity that isn't conjoined at the hip with fascist enablers. His insecurity is palpable.
