Greg Bovino getting pulled out of Minnesota to terrorize another community is not accountability. At all.

The sound you hear is the administration preparing to throw Miller under the bus.

Will he get fired? Doubt it. But he will likely have less influence going forward, and that’s good for everyone.

Article II, Section 4 is the Constitution’s, you’re fired clause. It exists for moments exactly like this. When those in power abuse authority, hide evidence, ignore the law, escalate violence, & betray public trust.

When legally mandated documents like the Epstein files are withheld, wars are

we simply cannot say that we love our neighbor while tolerating ICE’s cruelty and abuse. ... time for all Americans to choose love and solidarity over ICE’s brutality. And, for the love of God, it is time for ICE to get out of Minnesota and all our communities. open.substack.com/pub/contrari...
For the Love of God, Get ICE Out of Minnesota
Standing in community with fellow faith leaders, I felt in my bones the contagious courage in the face of ICE’s intimidation, contempt, and deadly violence.

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.

Kash Patel: "You cannot bring a firearm, loaded, with multiple magazines to any sort of protest that you want. It's that simple. You don't have a right to break the law." (Pretti was carrying a gun legally.)

I appreciate those out there protesting at great risk to their lives however i think the nation needs to grind this economy to a dead stop.
It's something everyone can do safely. No spending on ANYTHING but absolute necessities.
I understand some shut ins can not do this but very many of us can.
