Thanks! I was thinking Scout, but was pretty sure that was wrong and really couldn’t be bothered to look it up. I don’t know who Scout is, now, but I’m sure he or she is a Good Dog. ---

It’s a mess in Minneapolis. One person dead so far. I suspect Trump will use this to send in the military. I thought I heard one of them excitedly saying “It’s like Call of Duty”. Asshole, this is NOT a game. People are dying ---

ICE is saying that the man was armed and was trying to shoot ICE agents who shot in self defense. I didn’t want to watch the video closely but it didn’t look like he was trying to shoot anyone. It looked like they were beating up on him and then shot him. ---

I’d like to see this circulated so widely and so often that we start to think it’s losing its punch (I wrote it): _One of the many ironies of the last few years: the strongest 2nd Amendment supporters in America are the ones who voted in the absolute textbook definition of the kind of government that they’ve been so worried about: Trump._ ---

> [@RitterSport](#): > > Is this Trump post real or fake? I don’t want to go to his ridiculous app to find out: I don’t see it amongst his recent truth social posts. He is talking about a federal agent who allegedly had his finger bitten off. Since he has no credibility, I have no idea of the accuracy of the claim, but even if true it seems ridiculously trivial when compared to the brutal slaying of an American in broad daylight. > **[DHS Posts Gross Picture of Agent’s Finger Allegedly Bitten Off by Anti-ICE...](https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/dhs-posts-gross-picture-agent-214333133.html)** > > DHS Spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin said the protests against ICE in Minneapolis have gotten so chaotic that protesters are now biting the fingers off of agents ---

The parallels are there. There are lessons to be learned from history. Maybe Nazis were too often invoked in discussion and lost credibility as an example to be drawn. No longer. The shoe fits.
