Absolutely shameful to throw your employee under the bus when they’re murdered, but that’s what happens when you’re in the dumbest cult of personality in the history of the world

Great time to follow local news
As Minneapolis reels from the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti, some Republicans are starting to distance themselves from the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown in Minnesota.
‘It needs to end.’ Some Republicans break from Trump on immigration surge after Minneapolis shooting
It’s a sign some in the GOP view the current crackdown as a political problem, especially in the suburbs.

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

One imagines this calm, let’s let the investigations conclude attitude from the NRA would not be the stance if anything close to this happened under a Democratic Administration.

The bravery and restraint of the people has been remarkable.
Violence can only be met with non-violence for so long. Whatever the people choose to do now we must be with them and against the fascists. They are coming for all of us, anyway.

These ICE agents are, clearly, lawless sociopaths—being enabled by a phalanx of congenital liars in the Trump administration.

Why yes, most law enforcement training says officers should error on the side of shooting a citizen several times in the head. Then read them their rights.

I hope all Americans realize our national threat assessments are now being completed without foreign intelligence help, since allies realized Trump’s crew of chodes couldn’t wait to rush their vital intelligence to Putin.
