ICE-holes pulled over Italian journalists documenting their activities in Minnesota and threatened to break their windows and pull them out if they didn’t stop following them. They really love beating women, so they mean that shit.
That should play well in Italy.

"Watching America Unravel in Minneapolis."

This is oustanding journalism by a New York Times reporter. It helped me realize what is happening there, and just how bad everything is. I recommend it, which doesn't mean I endorse every line.

It should freak the American people out that Trump, Noem and Bovino lie so enthusiastically. He wasn't "brandishing a weapon". He wasn't attending a "riot" or "interfering in a crime scene". He was an ICU nurse exercising his constitutional rights.

We saw what we saw.

Exactly. Report the facts. One of the most striking facts here are the lies. And they are lies. Intentional lies.
Journalists, please remember that repeating obviously false statements is not balance or fairness. It is actively participating in deception.

The crowd is so big there are mini-rallies taking place inside it.

This group, dancing with puppets and an antifascist action flag, chants "general strike, shut it down!"

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

Before speaking with two armed men at the Pretti vigil last night, a man approached & asked if I was going to tell the truth. I said yes. He told me how frustrated he was at the media & the harm it’s causing to his community.

I asked if he wanted to share words for the media on camera, & he did:

Did I miss this?! So much is going down that it’s hard to keep up with the horrors perpetuated by the ICE-holes.
Here, ICE in Minneapolis violently kidnapped two children from a doctor’s appointment. At one point, an ICE-hole even tased one of the kids. (1/21/26)

Lawyer records screaming from Dilley concentration camp in South Texas. This is where the adducted 5-year-old from MN is being held.

This is new ICE detainment center for families, and holds American children with their non-American parents. Allegedly children here are shacked to family members.

Klobuchar: "Somehow 50,000 peaceful protesters in 10 below weather were able to march without any problems, and then the next day half a dozen ICE and CBP agents couldn't handle a guy with a cell phone taking video of them and shot him. I think it's pretty obvious what's going on here."

It's easier for them to lie to themselves than to accept how hated they are.
Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) The anti-ICE protesters are paid, people in Minnesota are really happy ICE is there. The protesters are liberal media, Nazis, anarchists, communists, people who hate the flag, God, veterans, capitalism and democracy! Woke-a-topia!
