We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

From Caracas to Minneapolis, the threat is the same – an American president ruling like a global emperor

Trump’s admission that he recognises no constraint outside his own morality was a horrifying moment of truth. It should galvanise all those who oppose him

The man who literally wrote the book on the use of vehicles as ramming weapons says any claim Good used hers as such is false, and that her execution, followed by the false claim, is "death squad behavior."
🧵In my expert opinion as a researcher of vehicle ramming attacks, what has been publicly described in the video evidence does not support the claim that Renee Nicole Good was attempting a deliberate ramming attack when she was shot in Minneapolis on January 7, 2026. 1/7

J.D. Vance, wittingly or unwittingly, is laying the groundwork at the White House for Trump to cancel the midterm elections later this year. Claiming Nicole Good was part of a "broader left wing network....working tirelessly to make it impossible for the president to do" what he was elected to do.

“Trump supporters can only see this truth if they’re willing to see it, and history suggests that most of them will choose to trust Trump over their own lyin’ eyes. Neither Trump, nor the DHS, nor ICE is going to reflect on how their rhetoric led to another innocent American being killed.”
ICE are now murdering people in the street
The shooting dead of Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis is the fault of Trump, Noem, and the bullshit conspiratorial ecosystem they’ve built around themselves
