They say “where’s the gun?” — After the shots

Because they don’t realize one of them had already taken it — before the shots

Noem lies shamelessly: "An individual approached order Patrol officers with a 9mm semi-automatic gun. The officers attempted to disarm this individual, but the armed suspect reacted violently. This looks like a situation where an individual arrived to inflict maximum damage and kill law enforcement"

The first Minnesota murder, they refused to let a medical professional help the woman they shot. The second Minnesota murder, they simply shot the medical professional.

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

The FBI used to investigate criminal activity. Now it is run by the criminal Trump administration to use against his domestic political opposition. Trump appointed FBI Director Kash Patel said that he was going to destroy the FBI and he is.

Gun Makers Double Down on Dangerous Weapons Under Trump -
America leads all developed nations in gun deaths and it's not even close. The Trump GOP doesn't care how many people are murdered as long as they get their cut of the profits.

This is fucking stunning. It was minus 12 degrees in Minneapolis. If you don't think that our nation is rising up against Trump after coming to the horrifying realization that a REAL FUCKING NAZI REGIME has taken control of the US government, then you're not paying attention. 👇

The Trump administration is challenging bans on assault weapons and high capacity magazines, disproportionately used in mass shootings and killings of law enforcement.
They care more about their huge contributions from gun manufacturers than they do about saving lives.

The ignorant Trump fascists are destroying our nation and government. One person who is really happy about that is Vladimir Putin. Trump is doing more damage than Putin and our other enemies have ever managed to do.

Breaking MS NOW:

FBI Director Kash Patel has carried out another purge of the bureau's senior ranks — forcing out field office leaders and other senior agents connected to the two criminal investigations of Trump.

Trump sent 3,000 ICE agents into Minneapolis. He's sent an armed military force into an American city with orders to enforce his racist fascism. They're even arresting children, one only 5 years old. Trump wants to turn this nation into a police state with him as king.

In Minneapolis, ICE arrested a 5-year-old coming home from preschool and tried to use him as human bait.

His teacher describes him as “a bright young student.”

These monsters are sick.

Dear World,
I am one of 1,582,860 Americans who voted for Kamala Harris. Don't blame us all. Right now, we're working to win back Congress in November's election so we can begin impeachment hearings. At the rate he's going, there may be enough Republican votes to end his disastrous presidency.
