"The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her."
Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic.

Coordinated a beer drop by a white friend to deliver a 30-rack of Hamm’s to a Hispanic friend’s doorstep because his wife wouldn’t let him leave the house to go buy more beer for fear he’d be brutalized by lawless armed masked federal paramilitaries. This is Minnesota community. We take care of us.

"Trump wants nothing more than to be a wartime president, and if he can't get it in Venezuela or Panama or Greenland, then he's gonna send the military into American cities. He's tried to do it in LA, Portland, Chicago, DC, anywhere he can incite violence so he can feel like a wartime president."

10 days into 2026 the U.S. has:
• Attacked Syria
• Invaded Venezuela - president arrested
• Deployed ICE - U.S. citizens detained and killed
• Threatens to take Greenland
• Overhauled the childhood vaccine schedule - undermining decades of evidence
This is not normal.
Everyone should be alarmed.

Remember, the next time Hegseth says we aren’t able to interdict or arrest the people on the tiny little boats so we just have to kill them…

It's almost as if the Enlightenment figures who founded the US had learned the lessons of Europe's wars of religion and created a secular state that would both protect worshippers from political interference, AND protect the polity from becoming dominated by religious sectarians.

This is ridiculous. It was the first TRUMP admin which developed the cases against President Hernandez. His brother Tony Hernandez was indicted in 2018 and convicted in 2019, and key ally Geovanny Fuentes Ramirez was indicted in 2020.
Both were later sentenced to life in prison!

Every year since 1988, the United States has recognized World AIDS Day — until now.
Why not? Maybe because the Trump administration doesn’t want to acknowledge that its foreign aid cuts led to nearly 150,000 deaths from AIDS, according to Boston University researchers.

Reuters reached out to everyone that Trump or his subordinates singled out publicly for retribution, and reviewed hundreds of official orders, directives and public records. The result: the most comprehensive accounting yet of his campaign of payback.
