TikTok about my reporting got 21,000 likes in Brasil.
It talked about how I overstayed my visa, but was allowed to stay. A Brazilian federal police officer told me, "We're not ICE, we're Brazilians."
The video was blocked, though, for viewers in US.

This is what it comes to. when you can sense you're being led to a sacrificial place by a father, holding his hand. that is point he is so longer a father but a craven beast.
A MAGA freak in Texas murdered his own daughter in cold blood after they had an argument about Trump.
A grand jury in the Dallas area then *declined to indict him*, and he has not yet faced charges.
Seems like many Texans believe a man has the right to kill his own child for disobedience.

This is irresponsible. Not one elected official can claim this is a good return on investment or has increased public safety. This is bigger than “Somali Fraud” but yall don’t lose your shit over this ever.
If you thought MPD overspending their 2025 overtime budget by 50% was bad, get a load of 2026: "We have spent all of our overtime budgeted for police and fire this year in the first 3 weeks of January."

Sometimes very hard not to feel like the rest of the country has abandoned Minnesota. We STILL have ICE everywhere. Our schools, businesses, and economy are in profound crisis. But without Bovino here throwing tear gas, much of the country seems to not care at all what’s being done to us.

When I got the contract to write a history of concentration camps in 2014, I hoped to keep the US from ending up here. That didn't work out! But now it's critical to understand how much is already in process and the enormity of what's coming. The sooner we act to stop it, the more people we'll save.
