OK, this is even worse now that we know the ICE agent/murderer, Jonathan Ross, is a Minnesota resident. The victim and the murderer were both MInn. residents - how can you NOT investigate that?
Q: Is there anything stopping state law enforcement from conducted an independent investigation even if the feds don't want it?

JACOBSON: Without assistance from the FBI, we would be at a loss to be able to initiate & conduct a thorough investigation. It would be very difficult if not impossible

The only reason I can imagine for why Walz didn't fire this fucking coward on the spot after that statement is he too has been leashed like a dog by the Trump administration.
Jesus, imagine what Good's widow must be feeling hearing her own Gov. rolling over and showing his belly.

Kristi Noem Calls Fatal Minneapolis Shooting Cathartic

I don't think there can be any doubt that the Trump administration is actively trying to promote mob violence against ICE, to justify violent intervention. OK, even more violent. Don't take the bait. #fuckice
A Trump regime loyalist and terrorist yells at anti-impunity protestors in the US, as Trump regime forces stand behind him proudly: "a storm is here", "no one can stop what is coming", and "We executed one of you yesterday, do you understand that" #3E

Also on my list, but most of what I've seen describes it as a gaming-centric distro, and I do need one that works well for photo and video productivity. Let me know if I'm off base on that.

High on the list based on what I've looked into so far.

I think WWII proved they won't. Some will never accept it and many knew all along and went along for some reason they thought was justifiable.

Yo, Linux-flavored techies, I'm looking for a distro recommendation.
Easiest install with an Intel A770 GPU.
Thanks in advance for your advice.

If it wasn’t already clear, it is definitely now the patriotic duty of every decent person in this country to videotape ICE anytime and anywhere they appear. It won’t stop the Trump administration from lying, but it will help provide counter evidence.

I don't think it's an extreme remark to say any remaining supporters of this administration are genocidal pedophiles who should be led into a pit which is then sealed by a giant boulder

Finally, someone with a spine.
I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy.

She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

Fox Producer: Jesse Watters would like to invite you on his show

AOC: He has sexualized and harassed me on his show.

FP: That’s not true

AOC: He accused me of wanting to sleep with Stephen Miller. So why don’t you tell me what you think is acceptable to tell a woman.

Exactly. @edmarkey.bsky.social @warren.senate.gov @moulton.house.gov @pressley.house.gov @repmcgovern.bsky.social e. el. I don't need your outrage. I can do that on my own, thanks. I CAN'T bring Articles of Impeachment, but House members can and Senators can pressure them to do so. Do your jobs.
Less than a mile where George Floyd was killed, ICE agents murdered a U.S. Citizen in cold blood.

Every member of Congress who does not call for the resignation or impeachment of ICE Barbie Kristi Noem is complicit.

Silence in the face of violence is approval.
