A federal ICE agent shot an unarmed mother.
Within hours, officials called it justified.
Deadly force is not lawful until the facts are examined. Declaring a killing justified before an investigation destroys accountability and guts the rule of law.

Today, it’s not your vote that determines whether the government brutalizes you or sends officers to your door. It’s your neighbors’ vote.
If you’re ok with this happening to Minnesotans, don’t get comfortable. You won’t be exempt for long.
In the end, a lawless administration comes for everyone.

Trump may die before the U.S. is in a position to prosecute him - but his sycophants and enablers should (rightfully), in the future, be prosecuted for their current abhorrent behaviours and crimes against the people.

Trump is totally deluded if he thinks he can try to annexe Greenland and his allies won’t respond. Greenland strongly rejects the US doing this, Denmark strongly rejects it and the rest of Europe will support Greenland and Denmark. Trump’s trying to destroy the NATO alliance.
