New in PN: Renee Good's killer can and must be prosecuted
"There’s no path to justice that runs through this administration or the federal courts. Hell, Trump will probably give the shooter a medal, and would certainly give him a pardon. But there is a path to justice that runs through Minnesota."

The danger of this moment cannot be overstated. Trump/Noem's vile defense of the killing shows that the heavily-armed government agents roaming our cities are unbound/unaccountable even when they kill Americans.

We need to get it lodged more firmly in the discourse that Trump and Stephen Miller are prioritizing removing nonviolent immigrants over public safety. They are sinking so many resources into their ethnic purification project that they're putting us in more danger.

On this idea of a rogue, private police force, it's worth stressing that these ICE officers and their commanders are supposed to be public servants but are in no sense operating as if they are serving the public or bound to the law. They are serving Trump first.
That's what's happening. We're a nation at the mercy of our president's rogue private police force..
I hate to break it to you, but heavily-armed government militias are roaming unchecked through US cities and shooting human rights observers dead in the streets. That's happening in our country.

This is a sick, malicious lie from Trump. He claims the dead woman "willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE Officer...based on the attached clip, it is hard to believe he is alive."
I've posted three screenshots from his clip. It demonstrates nothing close to what he claims.

There is no evidence that the officer who shot the woman was injured at ALL, despite Trump’s claim here that he is “recovering in the hospital.”
Immediately after the shooting you can see him walking completely normally, and he stayed on the scene for a while before driving off.
