Someday soon, I hope all the bots disappear all at once. I want to see what kind of barrel-and-suspenders situation is really going on at Meta, Twitter, and the other tech companies. What does our social media (and political) reality actually look like without them?

According to my sources, the FBI was initially open to a concurrent investigation with the MN Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (the state agency that would do this investigation).
Trumpy U.S. Attorney Daniel Rosen heard about this and intervened, barring the FBI from cooperating with local police.

Okay there's a lot of stupid shit in this photo. Hat, hoops, careful matching in a rugged, not-like-other-gals buckskin colorway. But the combo of bright-ass stars and stripes, hi-viz orange backdrop, and camo netting on the podium is just.

Emily Heller, an eyewitness, is speaking out to set the record straight. Officers were screaming at Renee Nicole Good, “Move, move, move.”
So she moved, and they shot her multiple times? Then Noem and Trump branded her a domestic terrorist. Does everyone see how absolutely insane that sounds?

Pick a date. Read a book, day drink, go down to the old folks home & spend an afternoon making someone's day better. Give it a cute name, like The People's Cookout or America Calls in Sick, idgaf.

They can kill protesters and lie on camera and in court about it, and nothing changes. They can't send truant officers to several million houses if people call in sick or don't show up for their shifts on the same day.

None of this will stop until we can get our shit together and stop work for several days. All they care about is their wallets. I know. "Most people can't afford to stop work for days on end."

She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.
