Nowhere on the face of this earth, in any time, has conservatism ever brought fairness or justice or mercy to anyone! Only a cold, ruthless order favoring the wealthy few over the struggling many!

Stephen Miller acknowledges a “possible breach of protocol” before Alex Pretti’s shooting.
Come on! That’s not it. The agency is performing exactly as designed.
Miller set a quota for ICE arrests and impossible hiring targets. Kristi Noem set low standards for qualifications to meet the quota.

Rand Paul: "There has to be an investigation. I don't know who trusts an investigation done by DHS when they're the ones calling this person an 'assassin,' a 'domestic terrorist,' saying he was assaulting police. How can they be in charge of an independent investigation? Something's got to happen."

just a reminder: if fire hydrants near where you live are buried in snow after this week’s storms, it’s a mitzvah (and a gooooood workout!) to dig out around that hydrant so fire crews can get to it faster if need be.

IF you ever get to vote again, vote purely Democrat. Only.
It's a two-party system. Either you vote for a Democrat, or you help the current Trump regime. Not voting helps Trump. Voting for a third party - any third party - is a wasted vote that helps Trump.
Vote only for Democrats, no excuses.

Something important to understand about ICE thugs in the Twin Cities is that they're harassing innocent kids and parents at bus stops and schools every single day. Even after the Pretti shooting. It's terrorism.

The Department of Homeland Security isn't killing people indiscriminately
Pam Bondi made it crystal clear
The Trump administration dispatched Noem and Bovino-with their secret police-to Minneapolis so they can grab full control of future elections
They are cementing their fascist hegemony
