Unmasked | Minneapolis flashpoint: ICE shootings fuel protests, partisan clash, widen U.S. divides
Tensions in #Minneapolis intensify after the fatal #ICE shooting of #ReneeGood. Dueling #protests have erupted, 1,500 soldiers are on alert, and the city has become a #flashpoint for America's deepest fractures: immigration, race, partisan divide, and a federal-local standoff. Yet the same #US dysfunctional cycle repeats, with no end in sight. #Unmasked #CivilUnrest

I've touched on situational awareness before but I want to dive deeper for a moment. Lots is always being said about coming face to face with obvious danger. But the hidden dangers that seemingly come out of no where are, in my opinion, more lethal. I learned to hone situational awareness while travelling alone many times over the years. I've almost never travelled with other people, I'm a loner at heart and it just worked out that way. There are many people that never go anywhere or do anything alone, always have a chatty walking buddy, always someone to help with travel arrangements, always a concert buddy to rely on. Being absolutely alone and having to rely on only yourself for information, safety, and well being is more valuable that you can imagine. Learn to discern your environment and recognize harm, help, potential or immanent danger. Befriending strangers can be an important skill to have, but where acute danger awareness is also paramount. Strangers can save you, they can also end you.
I don't have great hearing. I have ringing in one ear probably due to standing too close to concert speakers as a youngin. I NEVER use earphones either walking, or driving. It is incredibly distracting and muffles not only what you may not want to hear but what you might need to hear as well. There is a reason why the sound of a twig cracking in the distance makes hair stand up on the back of your neck. It is a primal response to being tracked by a predator. Being tracked by a cougar in the wilderness is a horrifying experience. It has happened to me on horseback many years ago... when the forest is suddenly too silent, the birds stop, tiny sounds echo, the horse knows- his ears swivel, his steps dance a bit, his skin shivers a tiny ripple. The message is to get out, now!Walking down a city street at night, can you hear distant footsteps? Are they synced with your own? Do they stop when you stop? Do they fade away into the dark or almost imperceptibly get closer? This happened to my daughter once in downtown Vancouver late at night. She made it to her door safely by walking down the very centre of the street with her keys laced in her fingers, but was terrified.
Is the car behind you keeping a reasonable distance? Has it followed you for many turns? Are you on a deserted dark road or a well lit city street? Is it about to cut you off by rapidly changing lanes? Is it driving erratically? Coming up too fast? Driver doesn't see you?
Are you in a group of people that suddenly becomes so crowded, a trip or fall could be a trample danger? This happened to me during a Celebration of Lights fireworks display in Vancouver years ago. Suddenly I was in a sea of people shoulder to shoulder as far as I could see. The press of bodies became frightening, hard to breathe and I got out of the throng as quickly as I could by traversing sideways straight into the bushes at the side of the street. In the dark, all it takes is one person panicking or taking suddenly ill to cause widespread panic and crowd surge.
A nightclub where the exits are partially blocked or not clearly marked, way too crowded with people, tables and chairs?
A windowless mall where your directional awareness is gone? Suddenly lost on unmarked streets or forest when the trail disappears? Can you get away from where you are safely?
Have you been in an earthquake that is so rare in your area that you don't know what is happening and can't think of what to do? Have you awakened in the middle of the night and something seems wrong but you can't think what?
The only answer I have for any of this is to practice honing your skills. Be alone, listen, explore, become familiar with your surroundings, and educate yourself on how the survivors lived. Who lived, who died and why.

#NationalGuard documents show public ‘fear’ and #troops’ ‘#shame’ over #WashingtonDC presence
By Alex Horton, September 10, 2025
"The National Guard, in measuring public sentiment about President Trump’s federal takeover of Washington, D.C., has assessed that its mission is perceived as 'leveraging fear,' driving a 'wedge between citizens and the military,' and promoting a sense of 'shame' among some troops and veterans, according to internal documents reviewed by the Washington Post.
[...]
"Friday’s assessment highlights 'Mentions of Fatigue, confusion, and #demoralization - ‘just gardening,’ unclear mission, wedge between citizens and the military.'
"The National Guard was ordered to this mission and does not have a responsibility to make it palatable to the public, said Jason Dempsey, a former Army officer who studies civil military affairs for the Center for a New American Security. But, he said, military leaders should think about how deployments with political undertones could have implications for recruiting and sustaining the force.
"The themes raised in these assessments, Dempsey said, also should give pause to American citizens. National Guard troops are overseen by governors, who almost always provide their approval when those forces are mobilized for federal service overseas or within the United States. But the mission in Washington, and an earlier deployment to Los Angeles, both occurred against the consent of civil authorities in those jurisdictions.
" 'When elected representatives say, ‘We do not want them,’ but the federal government sends them, and then you see these kinds of numbers,' he said, 'it does raise existential questions for the health of the National Guard, for how America views its National Guard, and how America uses the military writ large.'
"Such concerns were also spelled out in a separate cache of internal documents that outlined another Trump administration initiative: the creation of a #QuickReactionForce of National Guard troops to respond to #CivilUnrest anywhere in the United States. In that case, first reported by the Post as Trump’s D.C. deployment got underway in mid-August, military officials voiced concern about 'potential political sensitivities' and 'legal considerations related to their role as a nonpartisan force.'
"Trump has since signed an executive order directing the formation of the quick reaction force."

About 500 #NationalGuard troops in LA are trained to accompany agents on immigration raids
Nearly 5,000 military personnel have been mobilized in the Los Angeles area in response to immigration raid protests. A commander says National Guard troops and Marines will protect #ICE agents and federal buildings, and will be allowed to 'temporarily' detain people.
By LOLITA C. BALDOR
Updated 7:41 PM EDT, June 11, 2025WASHINGTON (AP) — "About 500 of the National Guard troops deployed to the Los Angeles protests have been trained to accompany agents on immigration operations, the commander in charge said Wednesday. And while some troops have already gone on such missions, he said it’s too early to say if that will continue even after the protests die down.
"Maj. Gen. Scott Sherman, speaking in an interview with The Associated Press and ABC, also warned that he expects the protest situation will escalate. 'We are expecting a ramp up,' he said, noting that protests across the nation are being planned and discussed now. 'I’m focused right here in LA, what’s going on right here. But you know, I think we’re, we’re very concerned.'
"Sherman, commander of Task Force 51 that is overseeing the more than 4,000 Guard troops and 700 #Marines deployed, initially said that National Guard troops had already temporarily detained some civilians. He later said he was incorrect, and that he had based his comments on photos and footage he had seen that turned out to not be a representation of Guard members in Los Angeles.
"He said that as of Wednesday, none of the troops has detained a protester. But he said they have gone through days of training and are prepared to do so if needed. Close to 2,000 of the Guard members have either been out protecting federal facilities or personnel already or are ready to move out, and the Marines will wrap up their training and are expected to be on the streets of Los Angeles as early as Thursday evening, Sherman said.
"The decision to have the soldiers provide security on the raids moves troops closer than ever before to carrying out law enforcement actions such as #deportations as President Donald Trump has promised as part of his immigration crackdown.
"#California Gov. #GavinNewsom has called the troop deployment a 'serious breach of state #sovereignty' and a #PowerGrab by Trump, and has gone to court to stop it. The president has cited a legal provision that allows him to mobilize federal service members when there is 'a rebellion or danger of a rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States.'
"Under the Posse Comitatus Act, active-duty forces are prohibited by law from conducting law enforcement. Sherman said all of the Guard troops and Marines are going through several days of training on #CivilUnrest and #CrowdControl so they know exactly what they can and can’t do." [Um, yeah... Sure...]

Robot taxis roll down city streets
When an angry crowd the taxis do meet
Spray paint deployed, the taxis stop
And then a masked man with a skateboard jumps on top
"These raids and terrors they must end!"
"Our community and friends we must defend!"
And alas, the robot taxis are set on alight
Taking the anger meant for the far right(human poem)

Cops nailed an Australian reporter live on camera with a rubber bullet, in case you're wondering if Australians are going to want to visit the US anytime soon. (probably deliberately, they are not supposed to randomly fire into the crowd but pick a target who they deem a threat)
(Update: video plainly shows the nearest cop deciding to nail the reporter in the leg with "nonlethal" (less lethal) ammo, on camera)

In a bold move, President Donald Trump announced the deployment of 2,000 California National Guard troops to Los Angeles to address ongoing immigration protests.

Is #Trump planning to declare #MartialLaw on April 20? The frightening claim, explored
Story by Charlotte Simmons, March 14, 2025
"First, the essentials. Martial law is the term for when civilian government and legal processes (such as mayoral jurisdiction and police officers, respectively) are overtaken by state military, so as to make demands on behalf of the nation’s leader, and then enforce those demands with their wealth of resources. Typically, martial law is invoked in dangerous situations, such as natural disasters or major #CivilUnrest.
"This is different from the United States’ #InsurrectionAct, wherein those civilian enterprises are not replaced by military personnel and resources, but supplemented by them. More importantly, the official nature of the Insurrection Act allows the #POTUS to deploy the military domestically during emergencies, as the #PosseComitatus Act of 1878 prohibits the use of the military against American civilians. In short, the Insurrection Act can waive the rules of the Posse Comitatus Act to create a sort of #MiniMartialLaw. Remember this.
"Recently, fears have been rising over whether or not the United States could enter martial law on April 20 under Donald Trump. But why then? What is it about April 20 that holds significance? When Trump first took office back on January 20, he signed an executive order declaring a state of emergency at the United States’ southern border, requiring the secretaries of Defense and Homeland Security to submit a report about what the 'situation' is at said border, together with recommended actions for 'resolving' said 'situation.' This report needed to be submitted within 90 days.
"When this order was signed, Trump also declared that 'A #NationalEmergency exists at the southern border of the United States…I hereby declare that this national emergency requires use of the Armed Forces…' This, directly references the potential execution of the Insurrection Act.
"The Secretary of Defense? #PeteHegseth. The Secretary of #HomelandSecurity? #KristiNoem. Two of Donald Trump’s most prominent yes-men. And guess how many days January 20 and April 20 are apart? Ninety.
"So, essentially, on April 20, there’s a not-insignificant chance that those two aforementioned Trump yes-men are going to tell Trump whether or not he should deploy the military in the southern United States so as to crack down on immigration. Except, as we saw with the case of #MahmoudKhalil — a recent #ColumbiaUniversity graduate who played a major role in that student body’s recent #ProPalestinain campus occupations — it doesn’t matter if you have a green card or if you haven’t committed any crimes; under this presidency, #ICE will illegally detain you if they think you’re troublesome to the vision of #TrumpsAmerica. They’re trying to deport Khalil for speaking out against #genocide as we speak. This is a direct, wholly #unconstitutional attack on #FreeSpeech.
"And here’s why that distinction between the Insurrection Act and martial law was so important earlier. On April 20, Trump will constitutionally — through the Insurrection Act — be allowed to deploy the military against #AmericanCivilians, and his government has already demonstrated that legal American civilians who have not committed any crimes are at risk for detention and deportation. It’s not technically martial law, but this #Trumpian cocktail is just as bad, if not worse.
"#Khalil’s detention — again, occurring in response to his speaking out against the #genocide of #Palestinian people — was made on the grounds of Trump’s executive order prohibiting #AntiSemitism. How long before more executive orders (none of them made in good faith, let’s be clear on that) just so happen to limit more ways of speaking, acting, and thinking? A scary thought, and a horrifyingly pertinent one."

Deutsche Welle: Kenya’s digital struggle: AI, activism and crackdowns . “A silent war is unfolding in Kenya, not on the streets but in the vast, uncharted world of the internet. Kenya’s digital landscape is at a breaking point, as the government clamps down on AI-generated content and social media activism, igniting what many have described as a ticking time bomb of online resistance.”
