They’re gonna blame everything on Greg Bovino, leave Minneapolis, and hope we forget.
It won’t work. They declared war on the American people. They’re terrorizing our communities. We will hold them accountable in November.

Here's the thing, Greg — free speech is still protected by the First Amendment under the Constitution.
If you want folks to stop saying you're the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people, maybe stop acting like the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people.

Bovino: "When politicians, community leaders, & some journalists engage in that heated rhetoric we keep talking about, when they make the choice to vilify law enforcement calling law enforcement 'Gestapo' or using the term 'kidnapping,' that is a choice & there are actions & consequences."

It doesn't matter what the Constitution says. If the government can execute you on the street or in your own home on a whim, you have no rights. None.

#GVerse Chicago turnout this morning was INSANE.
Thousands hit the streets demanding justice for Alex Pretti and calling out the federal crackdown that killed him.
This isn’t “local unrest” anymore. It’s national.

Good afternoon from downtown Chicago, where despite heavy snowfall, thousands have gathered for an anti-ICE/CBP demonstration in solidarity with the Twin Cities. More are still streaming in.
Lt. Illinois Gov. Juliana Stratton just addressed the crowd, and called for ICE to be abolished.

Howdy fellow US folks!
Buy a firearm and learn to shoot, maintain and handle it safely. I’m happy to be a resource.
I’d also prefer guns didn’t exist, full-stop, but the legislation in this country isn’t changing. The times certainly are.

If the government executing us in the streets isn’t your red line, then you’ve already decided to endorse it.

Nora Leerhsen is crushing it at City Club, she is a loud, unapologetic champion for transit. Talking about removing slow zones on Blue Line, CTA integrating with bike networks and adopting Paris-style reforms for child friendly streets, less emissions, more green spaces.
