No one should come to the World Cup in the United States. No one should come to the '28 Olympics. No organization should hold its meetings here. Tourists should follow Canada's example and stay away. We are not a safe place and you should not spend your time or money in our reckless empire.

Why is border patrol in Minneapolis anyhow? Fuck everyone who enabled this regime.
The Trump administration is deploying more than 100 U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents and officers to Minnesota after an ICE agent shot and killed a 37-year-old woman, according to documents obtained by The New York Times.

Trump's mass deportation raids have led to violent confrontations across the US. Today, a woman originally from Colorado was killed in Minneapolis. Witnesses say she was trying to comply with conflicting orders from agents. The Trump administration calls her a domestic terrorist.

COMMENTARY: It seems an increasing number of Americans, including elected leaders and journalists, are afraid to tell the truth about what happened on January 6. That's dangerous.
