I’ve heard from multiple friends today about daycares being raided and parents being ripped out of cars (in one case with a child left behind in the backseat). Grim times here.
The situation in Minneapolis is insane: seemingly many large convoys of heavily armed masked men, blocking off streets at random, grabbing people nearly at random, racing around the city with no discernible plan or aim. Under attack by our own government the day after it killed someone

Since last year, Trump admin planned what to do if ICE agents were accused of crimes (even murder):
Protect them “no matter what."
Trump laid out ways to retaliate:
—Refuse to hand over an agent
—Charge local officials with “obstructing"
—Threaten to cut off more funding

The ICE agent who murdered Renee Good must be prosecuted for murder. He enjoys no immunity from state murder charges.
Then, Blue state governors must call up their National Guard to protect us from the armed ICE terrorists.

Our tyrannical MAGA government invades us, taunts us, kidnaps us, brutalizes us, kills us, and then seizes the evidence of their crimes and rewrites the facts to make us the villains. And when you call them on it they say "Don't complain, or we'll kill you, too."
The state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension says they've been informed by the FBI that US DOJ has said FBI will solely lead the investigation into Renee Nicole Good's killing by a federal officer. State investigators no longer have access to "case materials, scene evidence/investigative interviews"

Here’s an idea. Impeach the maniac.
Many Republicans are downplaying the Trump administration’s threat to use military force to seize Greenland, while some GOP lawmakers denounce what they say would be a senseless attack on a longtime U.S. partner that could splinter the NATO alliance.
Republicans push back on White House military threat toward Greenland
Some GOP lawmakers warned that using force to seize the territory could fracture NATO, while others sought to downplay the possibility for such an attack.

If the DEA had killed 80 innocent Americans in the course of apprehending one drug dealer, there would be riots. But we are so ghoulishly indifferent to the lives and humanity of people abroad that it's barely even part of the conversation.
A reminder that the US killed 80 people in Venezuela, and it would be nice if the US media cared enough to think that the life of a grandmother in Caracas whose building is destroyed by a US bomb matters as much as the life of a person in the US.
