This happened last night. It appears to be a coordinated political assassination. Be safe out there, things are heating up.

I'm starting to feel like America is about to blow up into a civil war real soon. Add this to the Florida sheriff threatening to kill protesters, and yeah...

[-] [email protected] 79 points 1 day ago

Yep. I got an adrenaline rush when I read this and it hasn't quite dissipated yet. My heart rate is still elevated, and I have the distinct feeling that my nervous system is expecting a civil war, even if my brain isn't quite there yet.

Agreed with you 100% I’m currently at my job I work in the mining industry and my town is only about 4000 people and 99.9% of them are trump supporters and the news of these murders have sent these people into a joyous state. They have been happily talking about it like it’s a good thing and are hoping more happen. I’ve been beyond mad and upset since Jan 6 and now I feel like my soul left my body for a few mins.

Thanks, you too bro love and respect.

That's just... insane. It seems like having a strong sense of empathy is such a weakness these days. I wouldn't have celebrated the murder of Republican congresspeople, nor would I have thought that your townspeople would celebrate this. Well meaning people just aren't equipped to handle what's happening, but I imagine our lizard brains will catch us up quickly, hence the adrenaline.

Be careful.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

I will be careful, you too love and respect.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

Like they did when Pelosi’s husband was attacked.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

Yep exactly, I was also working on Jan 6 and that day was an emotional experience. Everyone at my job was running around like a kid on Christmas Day yelling with big smiles on there faces.

You keep yourself safe. That's an awful high ratio of wackos.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

Yes I will be as safe as I can be, you too.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

JFC I would have flipped my shit a long time ago. Stay safe.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

The best thing I do is just ignore them and do my job. It doesn’t fix the problem though.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago

I'm a Norwegian living in rural Denmark. There are people at my work with 3D printed Trump mugs and statues on their desk, and one of them wears a MAGAt cap. In Denmark It's fucking infuriating for me, I can't imagine how it is for got! I'm so sorry you're experiencing this. Stay safe, friend!

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Thank you, love and respect to you stay safe too.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

That already happened. It’s a hot war and has been for months.

“Bloodless if the left allows it.”

[-] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago

I had my money on it in 2020 with redneck BLM "counter protestors" showing up with guns starting the show. No way this doesn't go to civil war. It'll be Vietnam though because the fascists control the federal apparatus.

Could someone with a bluesky account please post a screenshot?

[-] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

Here you go!

Told my son this was coming and why we were staying home today. Wish I was wrong more often.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

but.... you were wrong? There were hundreds of thousands protesting today, very small amount of turmoil. You would be more statistically likely to get hurt playing any type of sports or exercising at this point. Some people aren't safe just "staying home" with ICE and authoritarian raids, make sure your son knows that you're privileged to be able to feel that way.

[-] [email protected] -2 points 1 day ago

You have kids?

If they haven’t caught the person, how can they say “impersonating” an officer? They’re top of the list of murders in the USofHeyyyy.

[-] [email protected] 81 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Someone dressed up as cop, armed as cop, and driving a cop car is clearly three ducks in a cop uniform. /s

[-] [email protected] 37 points 1 day ago

Brooklyn Park police were “proactively checking” on Hortman’s home due to her close proximity to Hoffman. Evans said those officers encountered the suspect, who fired at them. Police returned fire, but the gunman got away.

They got a look at him. It may have been obvious that he was not wearing a real uniform. But you're right, he could have been a cop pretending to impersonate an officer to throw us off his tracks.

[-] [email protected] 36 points 1 day ago

Everyone was afraid of dhs or ice coming for them, but get ready for more of this. I won't be surprised when they start going door to door and there are bodies piled up in the streets.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago

Remember the death squads and camps they’ve been screaming about the liberals using for years? Every accusation is a confession.

Construction companies were advertising the prison complexes they can build at the most recent Border Patrol Expo in Phoenix, AZ this year. There was also a company advertising crematoriums.

[-] [email protected] 30 points 1 day ago

why are they avoiding calling this an assassination?

[-] [email protected] 60 points 1 day ago

Democratic House Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, were shot and killed Saturday morning at their home in Brooklyn Park in what Gov. Tim Walz called a “politically motivated assassination.”

The first paragraph of the article. Fuck the for-profit media. But Tim Walz is calling it what it is

[-] [email protected] 17 points 1 day ago

for-profit media

this is what i'm talking about-- "assassin" should be the first word of the headline

[-] [email protected] 22 points 1 day ago

This will give another reason for trump to deploy troops. He might have not deployed to Minnesota. But this basically guarantees he will deploy troops in Minnesota.

[-] [email protected] 21 points 1 day ago

He has not talked about this at all today. Probably secretly approves of it.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

Nobody on Truth Social has brought it to his attention.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

Or approved it.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago

The other scary idea is trump using this to deploy federal military "security" with every senator/government representative. A few troops just waiting on the order 66 call

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Kinda scary cause this sounds pretty realistic =(

[-] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago

Minnesota was already on his list, and I imagine you're right. I wonder how they'll spin these murders, considering it's their people pulling the triggers. I wouldn't be surprised if the police uniforms the shooters used were given to them by actual cops. Minnesota has a long history of corrupt law enforcement.

Per rule 4: Can you please update the post title to match that of the source article? Thanks.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

Stay safe today people

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Is the writer high or IA? The article is unreadable or is there some trick I didn't get? WTF I barely understood that a tall man was suspect and that's all.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

If the wording is so bad, presume it is AI written.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

Ft. Sumter vibes

It’s time to leave .world communities. They are explicitly pro-fascist.
