An ICE agent saying "I don't care" and preventing an innocent woman who's been shot from receiving medical care are not the words or actions of officers lawfully protecting themselves and the community. These are the words of sociopaths happy with murder.

I want to see pictures of the World Cup in the USA and see empty stadiums.
I want to hear how it was the first World Cup to lose money and they won't be going to a War Criminal's country again.
Lets make it happen.

Tim Walz is mobilizing the MN National Guard, and reminds Minnesotans that the guard "is OURS - our teachers and our neighbors." He asks Minnesotans to respect them. "They're there to protect you and your constitutional rights. They don't wear masks."

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.
This could be you.

Mamdani: "My message to ICE agents & to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate it, you must be held accountable. There is sadly a sense growing that certain people are allowed to violate that law, whether they be POTUS or ICE agents."

Left the groceries, including cream and yoghurt, in the car in the sun for 6 h - everything quite warm! Put shopping bag on work surface and it fell off, smashing two eggs. What next? - food poisoning?
