The state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension has just revealed that federal officials have “reversed course,” and the investigation into the killing of a Minneapolis woman by an ICE agent will be conducted by the FBI without assistance from the BCA.
FBI pushes Minnesota investigators aside in ICE shooting probe
The BCA added that this takeover of the investigation means that it will “no longer have access to the case materials, scene evidence or investigative interviews necessary to complete a thorough and independent investigation.”

Today we saw the devastating and predictable consequences of the Trump administration encouraging reckless, heavily armed agents in our communities to commit horrifying abuses.
Congress must rein in ICE before what happened in Minneapolis today happens again.

Trump is weak at home, and he can be stopped – so long as the domestic political logic of foreign intervention is recognized and turned against him. This act of war is about regime change in the United States. It only succeeds if Americans allow it to do so.

#Nepenthes truncata has been an easy indoor species in my conditions. This is a seed grown individual that regularly produces large, colorful pitchers. Still not sure where it’s going to go when it reaches full size! 🙃

I found these potter wasp nests while pruning the plants on my balcony last September. Apparently I’m doing something right; I’ve noticed new species every year since I started planting native wildflowers around the property. Should I start logging observations?
