How dare she? I’d like to see her repeat her wicked lies to his parent’s face while watching the video together.
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"

They murdered Good and Pretti, a poet and a nurse, one whose last words were “I’m not mad,” another whose last act was shielding another. Because of course that’s who they killed. Everyday people.

I would like Democrats to understand that doing literally anything is not the escalation they think it is. Doing something is DE-ESCALATION. Doing nothing is ESCALATION because it will cause people to take matters into their own hands.
once again i am asking literally anyone in a position of power to do literally anything so that our neighbors stop getting fucking murdered in the street

To be clear, ICE has been killing people at concentration camps and out of sight. It’s just that now they’re doing it in the open and Minnesotans are recording it.

While the fight to get people off of fascist controlled platforms like X and Substack has largely failed due to self-serving fantasy-making on the part of their users, getting everyone you know off of all of these platforms is an *incredibly* important terrain in the fight against fascism.

Very legally significant.
I am going to avoid the gory details in these texts.
NYT also reporting: "Two of the gunshot wounds were not immediately life-threatening, the autopsy found." It appears to be bullet that appeared to go through the left-side window that was.

The best way you can help Minnesotans right now is to contact your representatives and demand that they vote no on any and all ICE funding.

Call your reps. Let them know that if they vote for ICE funding, you will not vote for them ever again.
Representatives need to feel the heat. NO on ICE funding. No excuses.
Representatives need to feel the heat. NO on ICE funding. No excuses.
So the House is going to vote TOMORROW on the DHS funding bill that includes funding for ICE.
There's a real chance we can get Dems to vote NO on any bill with ICE funding to sink it.
Once it goes to the Senate we likely lose this chance.
24 hours. Go.
