The Trump administration is psychologically incapable of backing down, which means that I would give it even odds that they attempt this.
The biggest obstacle would be that it will be very hard to find a grand jury in Minneapolis to approve it.

This is appalling: Top DOJ officials are actively pushing for a criminal investigation into the widow of Renee Good, leading prosecutors to quit en masse, NYT is reporting.
Who in the White House ordered DOJ to do this? That's the next thing to establish.

Sometimes we just need a shift in perspective. Survivors often believe they can't (fill in the blank).
Try starting out your days thinking, "but what if I can". A change in our outlook can go very far if we allow it.

NEW: Coal-fired power generation fell in both China and India in 2025, for the first time since 1973. The drop came after record clean energy additions in both countries, and was the first time that clean energy was a major driver of falling coal power use.

I would love to see news outlets -TV, Newspapers, radio shows, be called “radically truthful.”
I remember when major news sources were truthful. Now owners seem to be afraid to anger the Liar-in-Chief.
The Fourth Estate has forfeited its civic responsibilities!

Defund and disband ICE now. The Biden admin deported more people than Trump’s ICE Gestapo. They did not murder innocent women. They did not terrorize entire communities. ICE is the 3rd largest armed force in the world and still growing. We are all at risk from Trump’s ICE Gestapo. #ProudBlue
Face it.
ICE HAS ALIENATED AMERICANS by slamming their victims faces into the ground, wearing mask, not identifying themselves and using aggressive “Gestapo” tactics on immigrants & citizens alike. Americans are resisting, as they should.
It is time to defund ICE!
