    @xs4me2 @wdlindsy Nope. Strongly suspect Trump and his cronies want to provoke a civil war. A state with a Democratic governor has been targeted deliberately - then Trump can lie that Democrats started the war. Nobody seems to be able to stop this, alas. Republicans seem to want it.

      @xs4me2 @wdlindsy Indeed, Trump is digging in although I suspect his health is not too good. If Trump does go to meet his maker, his replacement will be evil lying fanatic JD Vance with devil’s spawn Miller at his side. Buckle up, it’s going to be a rough ride.

            They have all the power, they want a war. They lack numbers, but they have all the strength and arguably still the support of around a third of the population. They think they can win.

              "Open carry is legal in Minnesota. The videos I have seen do not support the idea that he was trying to shoot ICE agents.

              We also know that ICE tried to prevent local law enforcement from securing the scene and collecting evidence. ...

              The simple truth is that none of this would have happened if Trump had not sent thousands of out-of-control, masked agents to terrorize people in an American city."

                                It is the third shooting by Trump’s immigration agents in the Minneapolis area in recent weeks, and comes after an ICE agent shot and killed Renee Nicole Good.

                                I feel like ICE is under orders to create the most egregiously disturbing media to provoke a violent response, so that Trump can invoke the insurrection act, and send in the military.

                                Trump wants a civil war.

                                  @Edelruth @wdlindsy though I'm not truly happy, it's good to hear other voices finally realizing the shit show that's been launched against the USA. It's why Trump blocked the bipartisan immigration bill that was going to be passed if it was placed on Biden's desk in 2024. It helped him win the election.

                                    @wdlindsy I normally would never share something from commercial social media, but I can't find another source. The slowed down video clearly shows an agent remove the victim's firearm from the holster and then walk away with it, then they opened fire. It's the same gun that dhs paraded out to day he was threatening them with a firearm.

                                    He disarmed the victim, then called out "gun", then they opened fire. In that order. This was an execution.

                                    I can only surmise that they were looking for such an opportunity, in order to say that they were attacked by a gun toting lunatic. This could be it. If cooler heads don't prevail, if there's anything resembling rioting, you know what comes next.

                                      It is really unbelievable to be witnessing this evil thug and his helpers, I feel like I am in a remake of the 1930s... surreal...

                                      Who will defend the constitution and democracy and how... that is the question.

                                      @xs4me2 @wdlindsy Good point. Seems there are no mechanisms to defend the constitution or democracy. Well, if there are, they have not been used yet.

                                        History shows that tyranny will never win, it is what the USA were built on. To be free from tyranny. Let us hope for the best and that truth and law will prevail

                                        @xs4me2 @MostlyTato @wdlindsy Hope so but the road ahead is looking distinctly bumpy. The law no longer seems to count for much. While tyranny does tend to fail, it can last many years. The US was built by people escaping oppression. Will it accept being oppressed?

                                          They have all the power, they want a war. They lack numbers, but they have all the strength and arguably still the support of around a third of the population. They think they can win.

                                          @MostlyTato @xs4me2 @wdlindsy What’s not clear is where the military stand. Seems Trump has put is own people in top positions but will that be enough? Will the US military fire on US citizens? I guess we’re getting close to finding out.
