I made a post in 2020 talking about the dangers of long range acoustic devices (LRADs) being used at protests, and with everything happening in Minneapolis, I think it's time for an updated post in case anyone sees an LRAD at one of these protests (1/?)

What the hell? Is this really the Minnesota State Police testing LRAD on protestors? LRAD is a long-range acoustic device. Sound as a weapon. Testing weapons on civilians is a war crime. If this is legit, it means weapons of war against US citizens.

English translation of statement from Ecuadorian Consulate regarding ICE’s attempt to enter their building in Minneapolis today:
REGARDING THE ATTEMPTED INCURSION INTO THE ECUADORIAN CONSULATE IN MINNEAPOLIS BY ICE AGENTS
This morning, the Ecuadorian Consul in Minneapolis reported that, at approximately 11:00 a.m., an agent from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) attempted to enter the Consulate premises.
Consulate officials immediately prevented the ICE officer from entering the consular office, thus guaranteeing the protection of the Ecuadorian citizens who were present at the consulate at that time and activating the emergency protocols issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Human Mobility.
Therefore, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic immediately submitted a letter of protest to the United States Embassy in Ecuador to ensure that acts of this nature are not repeated at any of Ecuador's consular offices in the United States.

OF ECUADOR

Every instance in which the Trump administration is forced to make changes, even cosmetic alterations like removing Bovine, is a good sign that US democracy is not yet dead. Trump wants unchecked power. But public and political opinion still matters - and that should encourage resistance.

We had to put up with school shootings because "the 2nd Amendment" But watch ICE eliminate the right to bear arms by executing anyone they find with a gun and to hell with the 2nd Amendment. ICE will soon be killing citizens in their own homes because they're scared there might be a gun inside.

MAGA's plan: deport immigrants, fire govt workers, destabilize world economy, create a recession, knock people into poverty so far that we're grateful to have the low-paying jobs we once relied on immigrants to perform, and create a new feudal system for the Oligarchy to rule. Did I get that right?🤔

“DEI” being another way of not having to talk about anti-blackness is pretty infuriating. So many opportunities to properly engage this linguistic obfuscation when the right went after “critical race theory,” “woke,” and “affirmative action,” but nope not really.
