Erasing history that "disparages" the country happens to disparage the millions of people who lived that history. And suffers from the racism that still exists,

Restitution for Native Americans? No.

Restitution for descendants of slaves? No.

Restitution for convicted J6 insurrectionists? Ka-Ching!!!

Woman in pink perspective -

The goons were harassing a car double-parked on the E side of Nicollet.

These goons came over to the W side and pushed a woman protester with the orange backpack to the ground very hard, this guy went over to try to help her and they tried to hold onto each other while the goons sprayed in their faces. He had been filming from the middle of the street and while he was helping her he put his phone in his right pocket. They pulled him away from her and the scuffle with him began, then the shots. The woman who had just got into the white Hyundai had a front-row seat to the entire thing through her windshield. It's really hard to see how the shooting played out in this angle. 1) Orange backpack, 2) Pink jacket, 3) Hyundai key eyewitnesses. How do the DHS goons play this?

From reddit, don't know if this will link -

Actually, replacing all the slavery and racism exhibits with smiling portraits of Donald Trump might be pretty effective. Museum-goers would certainly notice and wonder what used to be there.

2614 Nicollet, New American Development Center. 6-7 goons wrestling the guy down on the sidewalk. He's pushing himself back up on his knees and then the guns go off. Count ~11 shots fired. One of them first pulls a gun after he's lying down. Nazi-com says he had a gun, we'll see. Could he have had a gun in his hand during this entire scuffle? That woman filming behind the scene should have some good footage, hope she got away. Her camera is pointed directly at the scene when the first shot goes off.

Oh , they took my advice - "HANDS UP, DON'T SHOOT"!

Neither John Adams nor his son, John Quincy Adams, ever owned slaves.

Why would you try to focus people

Is it because you -- like Donald Trump and Stephen Miller -- are so fragile a White person that not only can you not stand to contemplate the murderous kidnappings that White people (who DID NOT EXIST until they came from Europe to colonize the Americas, because before then they were things like Swedish, English, and Italian people) perpetrated in order to perpetuate a system of racialized slavery dedicated to nothing less sordid than *getting rich at everyone else's expense* ... you would rather do your damndest to focus peoples' attentions on the people who did not perpetuate those atrocities than dealing with the REALITY of the MAJORITY who did, and by learning the truth focus on systems to AMELIORATE that historical harm??

THE MAJORITY OF "FOUNDING FATHERS" WERE SLAVEOWNERS.

That is the truth.

Deal with that - wrestle with it if you must - before you try to redirect peoples' attention.

The violence that is happening now is happening because - and inflicted by - there are too many White people who cannot deal with that truth.

THE PEOPLE WHO ARE IN DENIAL ABOUT THE RACIALIZED VIOLENCE THAT "FOUNDED" THIS COUNTRY ARE THE SAME ONES TRYING TO TEAR THIS COUNTRY APART RIGHT NOW.

Don't be one of them. Be better than that.

The regime also demanded that the Park Service take down any reference to climate change and flooding at Ft Sumter which is in danger of being flooded by rising waters caused by, you guessed it, climate change! They don’t seem to understand that erasing history doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. What could align more with MAGA values than preserving a monument to the war of northern aggression?!

26th & Nicollet, fuck! I used to live near there many years ago, it wasn’t the greatest part of town but it’s close to the Children’s Theatre Company. Fuck these fucking ghouls.

One year before I was born, four girls were blown apart in church in Birmingham, Alabama. We have been here, before. We have had real martyrs, intentional murders of the innocent, the peaceful, the righteous.

It's up to us, the cavalry's not apparently coming. Mass non-violent civil resistance is what we've got that will be our strongest weapon.

We've been here, before. Hold on.

And fwiw, this might have been reported elsewhere but Bovino is now sporting Field Marshal jacket on patrols.

I suppose SS armbands can't be far behind . . .

If it means he receives Nazi treatment when this regime falls, I suppose it’s an admissible fashion statement. Hey, how did it end for prominent Nazis anyway?

Does this mean that we can put a blank cartridge in his butt, and hit it with a hammer?
