Although a white woman was killed, remember that ICE was in Minneapolis because a MAGA agitator stirred up racist myths about Black immigrants committing fraud and Trump latched on to it to appease his base and distract from his failures as president. Structural racism means violence for everyone.

Everything we've made will break, buildings and streets will crumble, and cities will be abandoned. But the CO₂ we emit into the atmosphere will persist for centuries, and the climatic impacts will last longer than human civilization has existed. This is our legacy for the future.

Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.
