The Trump administration is using the fact that Alex Pretti had a gun (legally with a permit to carry in Minnesota) as a justification for his killing, even though the traditional conservative movement’s position is that the Second Amendment exists as a safeguard against tyranny.
#hypocrisy #irony
So what if Alex Pretti had a gun?
The unbearable hypocrisy of pro-gun conservatives defending the Minneapolis killing.

From WIP Clearwater Haven Mysteries
Prologue Arriving at the landing stage, she leans on the rail at the stern of the boat, and gazes across the golden bay at the bright morning light shining on the city of hills. One of her favorite cities in the world, it had been her home for only a few short weeks, but she now needed to make her way from here. As she rode her reliable two wheeled steed up the hilly roads, she thought to herself, that though it was a modern steed it was at least wholly appropriate, as its invention, its design, was birthed in the very county she is travelling through. A new life was beckoning, but it was also partly familiar as this is the county of her youth. She has been away for many years returning only recently to spend time with her dying father. There has been much loss and grief in her life lately, she wonders whether going home will be the right decision. Time will tell. Some say it is unwise to step back in the same river, that it can never be the same, but she has a home to go to and friends of old to provide comfort and companionship while she mends her emotional wounds. The beautiful mountain rising up ahead, along the valley, guides her northwards heading for the small town on the Sound, where her new life will begin. The town of her childhood, will hopefully become a welcome haven.

BREAKING: A group of 20 Jeffrey Epstein victims just released a letter urging Mike Johnson to immediately swear-in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva.
#hedidntwin #hewasntshot #hesinthefiles
"We, the Survivors of the Jeffrey Epstein/Ghislaine Maxwell abuse, call on Speaker of the House Mike Johnson to immediately move forward with the swearing-in of Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva. "Grijalva was duly elected and certified to serve in the U.S. House of Representatives. Her constituents have spoken, and their voice deserves representation without further delay. The continued refusal to seat her is an unacceptable breach of democratic norms and a disservice to the American people. Even more concerning to us as survivors, this delay appears to be a deliberate attempt to block her participation in the discharge petition that would force a vote to unseal the Epstein/Maxwell files. The American public has a right to transparency and accountability and we, as survivors, deserve justice. Any attempt to obstruct a vote on this matter by manipulating House procedure or denying elected members their seats is a direct affront to that right and adds insult to our trauma. "Speaker Johnson must stop using procedural tactics to protect the powerful and instead uphold the integrity of our democratic institutions. Our trauma is not a pawn in your political games. Every day you stall is another day survivors are denied justice, and the American people are denied the truth. Swear in Representative Grijalva and let democracy speak." Signers include: Danielle Bensky, Liz Stein, Haley Robson, Jena-Lisa Jones, Jess Michaels, Lara Blume McGee, Marina Lacerda, Wendy Pesante, Marijke Chartouni, Rachel Benavidez, Annie Farmer, Juliette Bryan, Lisa Phillips, A.F.R (initials), A.W. (initials), S.R. (initials), Anonymous, Anonymous and Sky & Amanda Roberts and Danny & Lanette Wilson (family of Virginia Guiffre)
