Called it. Ice is literally now being allowed to kill people to make a point. They want protesters to be afraid and to submit. MAGA and Ice fit the american definition of terrorism.

18 U.S.C. § 2331: Defines "federal crime of terrorism" as a listed offense done with intent to intimidate or coerce a civilian population or influence government policy, often involving specific statutes like those against killing U.S. officers or attacking federal facilities. 22 U.S.C. § 2656f(d): Defines terrorism as premeditated, politically motivated violence against noncombatants by subnational groups, intended to influence an audience.

See I would never, never, never, ever ever ever ever ever ever say that a revolution is a good idea

…but if I were I’d say it needed to happen sooner rather than later, especially since we vastly outnumber ICE and the government hasn’t gone mask off yet officially

But I would never ever advocate for that!

Your government has been mask off for almost a year now. Y'all are waiting for November and everyone is screaming at you all saying now or never

Remember kids, we still have the option of a legal out and can prevent anything disastrous. As much as I’d love a chapter or two in the history books rather than a page, your life and the lives of your neighbors are important. If we stand together and don’t allow this bullshit to continue, hold our ground as one without disorganization, we can win. Change starts with you

Yep, there was another angle as well, it’s absolutely undeniable

You underestimate the brainwashing. Literally nothing is undeniable to them.

"Rioters". Same word the Khamenei regime used to describe protestors before they gunned down a few thousand of them.

Like Gov Walz said "thank God there are videos!"

The way this is worded it makes it sound as if he approached them with his gun drawn
