CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today.

This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting

My emotions are all over the place. Flowers don’t feel appropriate, but they do. I chose this one because it expresses mourning and turning inward, yet still reaching out; sitting in both sunshine and shadow.

I think it’s normal to feel confused and conflicted in these uncertain times.

Love ya.

Born on this day in 1626: Jan van de Cappelle of Amsterdam. Knew how to paint it cold. And calm. His two themes. Here in 1652.

KRISTI NOEM: “I don't know of any peaceful protester that shows up with a gun and ammunition rather than a sign.”

These are Trump supporters protesting COVID policies in 2020. And they are in St. Paul, MN.

Boy, I am just a former state public defender and federal criminal investigator but someone is going to have to explain to me how federal agents who are not on federal property are able to block state law enforcement from accessing a crime scene

Sounds like pretty clear Obstruction of Justice to me

To those blaming Walz for not mobilizing the Guard, he did that six days ago. I have to say it's disturbing to see people angry at Walz instead of the government agents that just executed a man. As though we should all be experts about what to do when a secret police force invades an American city.

TODAY IN MINNESOTA: Hundreds of thousands marched through Minneapolis in -10°F, shutting down the city to demand ICE the fuck out of the Twin Cities. People risked frostbite just to make their point. The entire country should be ashamed if they don’t follow.

When I hear J.D. Vance, the supposed successor in this bullshit, I hear him say, with a smirk on his face, "the American people are stupid". And, that will sum up his entire presidency, while this administration continues their mad schemes

Do not be discouraged by complications

You will be traveling onna path your entire life

The number of fork tines at intersections will not make your trek any longer or shorter

Actively living, paying attention, keeps your body alert, happy, and alive

Sen. KLOBUCHAR: Unlimited, anonymous federal election spending doesn’t encourage free speech. It drowns it out. I’ve long supported the constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United.
