CrimethInc. Ex-Workers

ICE agents just shot two more people in the Twin Cities. They are now firing tear gas at people at the scene of the shooting.

Do you want to live in a country in which fascist mercenaries go around shooting people at random?

If the answer is "No," you may have to shift your priorities to focus more energy on organizing and fighting back.

Abolish ICE.

@CrimethInc its time to shoot back. Second amendment has specific proscriptions for this exact thing, and we all know this, AND guns are everywhere, so.....

There is going to be a moment in time these fascists wish they hadnt violated the constitution to try to steal power for their racist, ignorant rich guy buddy trump. There will be a reckoning, and I think these pigs know it.

@CrimethInc @katrinakatrinka If I was a conspiracy theorist I would claim that DHS is deliberately provoking the populace to retaliate with violence so the administration can actually call out the armed forces.

A year ago I would have called that paranoia.

Today I’m not at all sure.

This has been obvious from the start. They hired these goons to be bait and are encouraging them to crank up the violence so some of them get killed and they can flip to Insurrection act type bullshit.

Orange smear jacks off to the Insurrection Act.

They believe there was a missed opportunity in the George Floyd protest to do full out genocide of anyone not white. They want the protests to get violent so they'll have an excuse to do insurrection act mass purges.

@Cdespinosa @CrimethInc @katrinakatrinka The governor, and multiple mayors are literally saying "don't take the bait", and this is what they mean, so I'll submit that as evidence we're definitely past fringe theory at this point.

@Cdespinosa @CrimethInc @katrinakatrinka this does indeed seem to be what they are doing, which is yet another reason state governments need to step in and step up. The victimized civilian population -- being used in this game of trump's -- need legal and material assistance from state governments asap.

Both in the leg? Or one in the leg and one elsewhere?

@CrimethInc I'm a little confused as to why this is such a big deal to everyone. Police have been shooting unarmed black people for centuries. Are people upset because this time it's a white woman?

@phoebeweyland @CrimethInc You are absolutely correct that police have been doing so. While I'm sure some people haven't considered it 'real' up until a white woman was murdered, it is also true that it is absolutely an escalation of state violence. Doing constant sweeps, asking to see citizenship papers, ignoring citizenship papers, an extremely heightened level of racial profiling, breaking windows, pulling people out of cars, beating the shit out of people constantly, going up and down streets and breaking into homes, threatening people, asking them to tell on their neighbors... it's very much the same flavor of violence, but it is also at another level. It's very scaled up.

Everyone should always have been upset at what we have allowed the state to do to Black people. Even when Black people tried to get people to care due to self interest (pointing out that it was eventually going to happen to them, too)...

@phoebeweyland @CrimethInc this time, its a lot of people of all walks, stochastically and in front of everyone, and this is a more serious escalation that we all need to consider general action over. Its also indeed a good time to raise awareness of what nonwhite, female, indigenous, immigrant, etc etc, vulnerable communities have ALWAYS felt in america!

Its definitely not time to sleep on all this tho. General action now!
