The death of two national guardsmen is a horrific tragedy.
It is also an orchestrated tragedy by a president hellbent on creating a tinder box environment across the country.

Jesus for once in your life just don't comment on an ongoing investigation. If there is probable cause then you're just giving him figurative ammo to use in court.
Trump: The animal that shot the two National Guardsmen, with both being critically wounded, and now in two separate hospitals, is also severely wounded, but regardless, will pay a very steep price. God bless our Great National Guard, and all of our Military and Law Enforcement.

He’s confused a lot. He sometimes mumbles sort of incoherent nonsense when he’s asked a question in the Oval Office.
Clearly they’re not getting MRIs just because, because that’s the moment that we live in. There’s a reason

ICE is using a new app called Mobile Fortify to scan people's faces and determine their immigration status.
The government's use of biased, unreliable facial recognition tech to supercharge its mass deportation campaign endangers all of our rights.

From the MN Society for Professional Journalists: St. Paul police shot three photojournalists (MPR, Reuters, Sahan Journal) with "less lethal" munitions during an ICE operation yesterday. One had to go to the hospital. They say they were specifically targeted by St. Paul police.

They are aware that Russians quite literally wrote the capitulation document that some people in the White House and sadly many people in the media refer to as a peace plan.
Congressional Republicans including Senator Mitch McConnell are openly blasting President Trump’s team of appeasing Russia, warning that doing so would not lead to lasting peace.

The problem with ICE is not that it's targeting people who aren't criminals. The problem with ICE is that it's an unaccountable secret deportation police. It cannot be reformed under a better president. It can be made less terrible, but the instrument of repression remains for the next tyrant.
