Brilliant summary of what's happening in Minneapolis. Someone should show it to Trump.

As the world stands with the people of Minneapolis the Trump administration continues to pedal lies about domestic terrorists - slaughtering US citizens in the name of normalising state violence. It’s dangerous times - we must stay strong and stand against this fascism #donaldtrump #ice #minneapolis #protest #newsView all 5,059 comments

Wow— “Cardinal Tobin told hundreds of faithful gathered online that now is the time to say no — no to violence, no to indifference, and no to funding the U.S. government’s own “machinery of death.”

“Yet our greatest threat isn't the outsiders among us, but those among us who never look within.”

“Fear not the those without papers, but those without conscience.”

The party that has spent unlimited resources and energy getting states to pass laws to allow citizens to openly carry loaded weapons anywhere - now believes that exercising this right is permission for law enforcement to murder you.

Honestly, how dumb do they think we are?

Children die in school shootings and it’s “not the guns”.

Mass shootings claim lives multiple times a year and it’s “not the guns”.

Kyle Rittenhouse shot 3 people during a protest and it’s “not the guns”

ICE kills Alex Pretti, and suddenly it’s his fault because he “had a gun”

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Screenshot of an X.com post by The Tennessee Holler (@TheTNHoller) quoting a child saying a goalkeeper called them an illegal immigrant and said Trump would “get me and send me back,” followed by “Our kids are watching.” Below is a video still of a crying child in a soccer jersey sitting in a car, wearing a medal, with social video icons along the right side.

Screenshot of an X post by Turnbull (@cturnbull1968) that reads, “I’m tired of my taxes paying for this puffed up, swollen faced ghoul to run around in costumes and lie to me on a daily basis.” Below is an embedded TV news clip still labeled “LIVE WHITE HOUSE,” showing a woman with long dark hair speaking outdoors, with two suited men and security visible behind her. A red “BREAKING NEWS” banner at the bottom includes the headline “NOEM: CAN’T SPEAK TO OIL TANKER TRACKING,” along with a timer/progress bar indicating a short video.

Buttigieg: Some say you can’t talk about any of the things that were wrong about America because that must mean you hate America. To me, anytime we talk about something that wrong, it’s because some of the finest moments that brought out the greatest character of this country is how we put it right.

Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board This is a communication from Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board: MPRB Youth Athletics Families, Considering the alarming federal immigration enforcement activities currently taking place in and around Minneapolis and after hearing from families and teams, a decision has been made to cancel all MPRB youth athletics games and practices scheduled for Friday, Jan. 16 through Sunday, Jan. 18. All cancelled games will be rescheduled for a later date. This impacts youth athletics only. We are cancelling out of an abundance of caution for youth athletic families, officials and MPRB staff.

The White House tries to cover for the madman saying the midterms should be canceled by insisting it’s a joke. Well, Trump is never funny and this “joke” is yet another middle finger to America.

The regime shot Renee Nicole Good and then labeled her a domestic terrorist.

But they didn’t do it because they’re strong — they did it because they’re weak and scared.

Plugging again for @minnesotareformer.com, which is free to read with no paywalls or ads. You don't even have to "make an account."

It's still a small team, but worth adding to your list of media.

This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him.

I don’t know how else to say it…
