Tear gas — currently being deployed in Minneapolis — can cause long-term health consequences by making people more susceptible to contracting respiratory illnesses.
The chemical agent can also hurt people inside their homes if it seeps into residential neighborhoods.

Tear Gas Is Way More Dangerous Than Police Let On — Especially During the Coronavirus Pandemic
In the middle of a respiratory pandemic, law enforcement agencies have used tear gas in especially dangerous ways. The chemical agent also seeps into homes, contaminates food, furniture, skin and surfaces, and can cause long-term lung damage.Lisa Song (ProPublica)
This might be a good time for Minnesotans to read up on what the United States does to places it invades.

DOJ investigating Gov. Tim Walz, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey over alleged conspiracy to impede immigration agents
Federal prosecutors are investigating Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey for allegedly impeding immigration agents, sources told CBS News, an extraordinary escalation in the Trump administration's clash with Democratic leaders.Camilo Montoya-Galvez (CBS News)
ICE has this game they try to play. They like to barge into a resturant and act like they were chasing someone... but its all just a ploy to get into the kitchen or lure the staff out for illegal interrogations.
They tried that crap in Minneapolis, got swarmed by everyone eating at the restuarant and random passersby until they ran the fuck away.
Do not comply with illegal orders.

"Ultimately it comes down to the Republican Party, the MAGA base they’ve radicalized, right wing media, and the oligarchs financing it all. They are the real problem. If Trump disappeared tomorrow, they’d be looking for someone else to carry out their fascist agenda."

"Trump’s ability to bend reality to his will is the foundation of his political success. It’s how he has survived so many moments that would have ended other politicians’ careers.
But it is not working this time.
In what may be the most high-profile failure of the Trump media machine, the American people are not falling for Trump’s lies [about Renee Good's murder].'

How Trump is Losing the Fight on the ICE killing
New data shows the smear campaign of Renee Goode is failing miserablyDan Pfeiffer (The Message Box)
“'Abolish ICE' is no longer just a far-left slogan. God knows why Americans reelected Trump — but they clearly didn’t envision masked goons knocking down doors and disappearing people."

"It’s past time that voices in the media describe this as what it is - the other “F word” fits the bill.
But while they are at it, how about openly talking about Trump’s open corruption, his deranged mental state, his dementia, and the need to have him resign or be removed from office ASAP?
Let’s also hear them admit this isn’t just a Trump problem."

NY Times columnist Michelle Goldberg goes there: it’s fascism
In an editorial captioned “The Resistance Libs Were Right”, Michelle Goldberg offers an acknowledgment of what should have been obvious all along.Daily Kos
"It’s striking how much the arguments that Trump is not a fascist have suffered in just the first few days of this year, in which we’ve plunged to new depths of national madness."
~ Michelle Goldberg
All those pundits and intellectuals who have played coy games about the use of the word "fascism" to describe Trump's plans for the US should be ashamed of themselves now.

"Now they have turned the eye of Sauron even on white women, because these white women are like, I'm going to use my privilege to speak back to the police like Renee Nicole Good did. And they're like, OK, we'll shoot you in the face in order to shut white America down. That's what it feels like to me. They want white America to know if you side with these brown and black immigrants, we're coming for you, too."

"When ICE is on the rampage, crowds of brave Americans, summoned by texts and whistles, quickly gather to stand against the masked men with guns. As the outrage grows, people of common decency — like the federal prosecutors in Minnesota who chose to resign rather than pervert justice by going after Renee Nicole Good’s wife — are taking a stand.
So what’s happening now is both horrifying and inspiring."

"The assault on freedom and civil liberties is open, lurid, and impossible to deny. While our institutions and our elites have failed us, ordinary Americans are rising to the occasion. If Minneapolis is a laboratory of democratic destruction, it has also become a laboratory of civil resistance — organized civil resistance, of a kind we haven’t seen since the civil rights movement."

"Why Minnesota? Yes, of course, the horrific murder of George Floyd. Yes, of course, the horrific murder of Renee Good and the fact that both of those vile incidents were caught on camera and it was absolutely visceral. But it's also, from my point of view, that Minnesota represents the ultimate repudiation of the white nationalist narrative."

Federal agent shoots man in Minneapolis as tensions in city run high
Mayor urged calm as protesters gathered on the scene, as city continues to reel in aftermath of Renee Nicole Good’s killingMaanvi Singh (The Guardian)
"In multiple confrontations in the Minneapolis area, agents repeatedly referred to civilians learning their lesson — in an apparent nod to the use of deadly force in Ross’s killing. In a video posted to Reddit, a masked ICE agent can be heard repeatedly admonishing a driver to 'go home to your kids.' ...
'You did not learn from what just happened?' the ICE agent asks. 'Go home to your kids.'”
"Amid heated protests in Minneapolis following the killing of Renee Good by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer Jonathan Ross, federal agents have repeatedly invoked Good’s death to threaten the lives of observers and demonstrators in Minnesota."

#Oglala Sioux Tribe president says three tribal citizens transferred to ICE facility
“The president of Oglala #Sioux Tribe in South #Dakota on Tuesday called for the immediate release of tribal members who were detained at a homeless encampment by ICE agents in #Minnesota last week.
Three of the four Oglala Sioux Tribe members who were arrested in #Minneapolis on Friday have been transferred to an ICE facility at Fort Snelling.”

More Walz: "Tonight I want to share another way you can help.
"Witness. Help us establish a record of exactly what is happening in our communities. You have an absolute right to peacefully film ICE agents as they conduct these activities.
"So carry your phone with you at all times. And if you see these ICE agents in your neighborhood, take out that phone and hit record.
"Help us create a database of the atrocities against Minnesotans. Not just to establish a record for posterity, but to bank evidence for future prosecution."
Further Walz: "You are not powerless, you are not helpless, and you certainly are not alone.
"All across Minnesota people are learning about opportunities not just to resist but to help people who are in danger. Thousands upon thousands of
our fellow Minnesotans are going to be relying on mutual aid in the days and weeks to come, and they need our support."
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz: "News reports simply do not do justice to the level of chaos and disruption and trauma the federal government is raining down upon our communities. …
"This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of Minnesota by our own federal government."

“F*cking b*tch”.
We all know what it means. Most women know exactly the type of man who uses that language.
Jonathan Ross wasn’t afraid for his life. He didn’t think he was in danger.
He shot Renee Nicole Good because she wasn’t afraid.
He took her life because he was angry that she didn’t cower in his presence.
Didn’t show him the deference he felt he deserved.
These are the men DHS gives unchecked power to.
I didn’t want to write this article. I didn’t want to watch her die.
But we can’t remain silent in the face of such atrocities:
