"What followed was not a scandal, but something colder: a demonstration of how investigations can be interrupted, institutions thinned, and accountability reshaped without changing the law—only the order in which it is allowed to operate. ...

In American civic life, this is a small moment with a long shadow. It marks the point at which a process designed to discover facts was asked to conform to a narrative already declared."

"After Renée Good was shot and killed by a federal agent in Minneapolis, the case moved through the familiar machinery of accountability—warrants, evidence, civil-rights review. Then Washington intervened. Investigators were told to stop. Prosecutors resigned. The inquiry was quietly rerouted."

There seems a boundless supply of liars available for government disservice.

It would be wise, out of an abundance of caution, for the good of the country, to make Lying to the Public illegal.

"For many Native elders especially, the sight of armed, masked federal agents have triggered dark memories and the generational trauma of violence from the US government against Indigenous people"

"The protests were everywhere. They were loud and righteous and relentless. They were also only one piece of what the resistance here really looks like, of the story of a city banding together to protect the community it holds dear."

#Minneapolis #LifeDuringWartime A surprising number of guys of all flavors stop by DreamHaven to thank Greg for standing up to 🧊. This week, it was a 77 year old guy who drove hours from northern MN to shake his hand and get his autograph. This guy and his neighbors and friends have a organized a weekly protest at the “only stoplight in town.” This is actually pretty huge - MN is generally grotesquely conservative outside the bigger cities and college towns.

"There were candlelight vigils on nearly every corner we passed, some corners with four or five people cupping tiny flames, some corners with 50 neighbors milling about, communing, singing, stoking a firepit hauled to the sidewalk, lighting up the little Weber grill, just hanging out in the frozen dark."

The gift article from Solnit doesn't open for me: I used archive.ph.
