One of the most interesting and rarely mentioned points is that General Zhang was the only senior Chinese military leader with actual combat experience (in the Sino-Vietnamese War of 1979). Nobody else at the top of the PLA has actually fought in a war.

Hey Border Czar Tom “Cava” Homan at @icegov.bsky.social: You know my name. You know where I live because your agents tailed me home twice. I spent 5 hours today following them and will spend 5 hours tomorrow. Come put me on TV so I can tell the whole world what I’ve seen you do to my neighbors.

You and what army? No, really, Matt: if you want to deport and jail all my neighbors, you’re going to need an army. We’re in the real world now bucko. This isn’t internet land where you declare something and it becomes true. You need actual dudes. So where’s your army?

Reflecting on it, one of the craziest things that happened yesterday - and it was clear even from rapid response reports - is how, after the shooting, DHS flooded many dozens of agents into the scene, effectively taking over the block. Not MPD or emergency services, the immigration agencies.

Spectacularly pathetic. Minnesota is being attacked. The federal government literally said “ICE > MN.” We are shot to death in the street and are deemed terrorists the moment the bullet enters our back. And these self-styled Minnesota civic leaders can’t find it within themselves to pick a side.
