„Defensive shots“ (ICE head Bovino) fired into the back of a unarmed, kneeling man blinded by pepper spray.

If the US doesn‘t wake up now, it will be too late. If the GOP keeps going along with it, it will go down in history as the party that destroyed the USA after 250 years.

@chrisstoecker Heather Cox sagt, dass das die Customs and Border Patrol war, die bekannt seien für ihre Gewaltexzesse
@Somebunny Naja, auch ICE ist ja durchaus bekannt für seine Gewaltexzesse. Der Mann, der geschossen hat, scheint tatsächlich von der Border Patrol gewesen zu sein. Fragt sich, welche Grenze der in Minneapolis schützen soll. Die zwischen Gehsteig und Fahrbahn?
@chrisstoecker @Somebunny Das DHS, also die serielle Lügnerin Noem, hat etwa 2000 ICE-Leute und noch mal 1000 von CBP nach Minneapolis beordert. Die Regel, dass letztere nur bis zu 100 Meilen von der Küste eingreifen dürfen, ist juristisch wohl nicht eindeutig und wird nicht stringent angewandt. Nazi-Klamotten-Bovino, den einige deutsche Medien als ICE-Offiziellen führen, ist ja Chef der Border Patrol. Womit klar sein sollte, dass die Grenzen im staatlich gedeckten Vigilantismus verschwimmen.
@chrisstoecker
That’s no problem because GOP can rewrite history books then. 😒

@chrisstoecker "If the US doesn‘t wake up now, it will be too late."

I've lost count of how many times I've heard/read this sentence in the last 10 years or so.

@kauz_one Well, now they are shooting their political opponents in the street and then call them domestic terrorists.
@chrisstoecker Yes, and tomorrow they'll go another step further. And then someone will say: "If the US doesn‘t wake up now, it will be too late."
@kauz_one And at some point it will be too late.
@chrisstoecker "When fascism comes, the sun is still shining. The birds are singing. People are going to work. Everything is normal. Only trans people lose their rights. And asylum seekers. And immigrants. And the disabled. And Muslims. And Jews. And left-wing journalists. And then other journalists. And me. And you. And nobody knows anymore when it actually became too late." - Marina Weisband at the commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the Buchenwald concentration camp

> And at some point it will be too late.

Sounds like a tipping point, the one after the slippery slope, a tipping point that has been crossed already, crossed right now in Minnesota.

From now on we'll have a lot of Berichterstattung of the downfall until a second coup will restore a pathway back to democracy.

The regime won't back down, their reaction with respect to the two assassinations of white people, male and female, has proven that already. There is enough citizenry that won't back down either. Sooner or later black lives will become sacrificed by some collateral event. Given the distribution of firearms and the mindset of their use, the value of life, the amount of veterans, in particular black and hispanics, all this mix will sooner or later create riots and civil war like situations. And that's actually the goal by the regime so it can call for some sort of martial law and interfere in the common election cycle.

There's no way around it anymore, no political figure that could rise, being strong enough to prevent the crumbling into ruins of the society we are witnessing.
