Victor Wembanyama’s full comments today on the shooting of another civilian by federal agents in Minneapolis:
“PR has tried, but I'm not going to sit here and give some politcally correct [answer]. Every day I see the news and I'm horrified. I think it's crazy that some people might make it seem like or make it sound like it's acceptable, like the murder of civilians is acceptable. I read the news and sometimes I'm asking very deep questions about my own life. I'm concious also saying everything that's on my mind will have a cost that's too great for me right now, so I'd rather not get into too many details. It's terrible. I know I'm a foreigner, but I live in this counrtry and I am concerned.”

We are at the point in this country where police openly grab people off the streets - while they are speaking to the press or protesting - and it’s not registering as even a blip of the growing crisis of speech repression in this country. No national resistance, just permission.
Zohran crushed it in the most Jewish city in the United States (and his numbers will be even better after RCV from Lander). You don't do that without doing *quite* well with Jewish voters. Suck it, AIPAC -- you don't represent our people.
This is what fascism looks like. Plain and simple. It is not "allowed" in the United States of America, but this is the part where we learn that laws don't mean shit during an authoritarian takeover.
