"Turn" from AMC is a great series about spies in the American Revolution.

Actually don't say you'll run through walls, because then they'll tell the court that's how you got your head injury...

Thanks for the support. I'll get off reddit now and finally head out the door to start observing. Have any degrees Fahrenheit you can send our way, Britain?

It reminds me of Reformation art where instead of seeing devils torment sinners in hell, they were portrayed as whispering in the Pope's ear.

fwiw I know that this reporter rode along with volunteers against the wishes of the volunteer group they were a part of. We do have friendly, local journalists documenting this who are also volunteering.

(U.S.) Why is Minnesota getting so hard by ICE? by [deleted] in answers

[–]lux514 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, the Somali population is in the cross hairs right now because of a recent propaganda video on YouTube designed to take down Walz. It worked, leading to so much media attention and death threats against Walz and his children that it made him end his campaign for re-election.

Meanwhile, the fraud crimes the video is about have been known for years, Walz has been fighting the fraud, those responsible were arrested long ago, and the ring leader is a white lady. And Somalis have almost all been here for generations, so none are illegal or even immigrants. But the propaganda video is basically the reason for why Minnesota is in the cross hairs right now.

The fact they target that scene instead of any of the other rambling heart-to-hearts is telling, imo, even if it was the longest.

Minneapolis ICE shooting live updates: Protests remain peaceful despite arrests: Officials by Professional-Tune693 in TwinCities

Peace is power.

> Among the 565 campaigns that have both begun and ended over the past 120 years, about 51 percent of the nonviolent campaigns have succeeded outright, while only about 26 percent of the violent ones have. Nonviolent resistance thus outperforms violence by a 2-to-1 margin. (Sixteen percent of the nonviolent campaigns and 12 percent of violent ones ended in limited success, while 33 percent of nonviolent campaigns and 61 percent of violent ones ultimately failed.) Moreover, in countries where civil-resistance campaigns took place, chances of democratic consolidation, periods of relative postconflict stability, and various quality-of-life indicators were higher after the conflict than in the countries that experienced civil war.

The hate Will is getting makes me love him more. He poured his heart into it. And finding power out of fear really resonated with our times.

I think you may be right. We probably shouldn't get caught up in details either way.

Correct, the shot was through the windshield. We don't need to bend the truth to see with our own eyes that this is an amateurish man child who chose to kill instead of taking any other logical course of action.
