Gun massacre exists because Republicans prevent any remedy to gun murder. They prevent any remedy to gun murder because they want us to live in a world of easy and frequent massacre. The massacres are the point. Every massacre is part of the Republican plan; a war against its own citizenry.

Keith Ellison on Kristi Noem blatantly lying about the circumstances of the ICE shooting in Minneapolis: "It's just deeply heartbreaking to see a person responsible for safety and enforcement of American law make such a brazenly false statement. It is truly sad for our democracy."

Using imagery online of the shooting by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, we’ve created an animated sequence which highlights the approximate positioning of officers and vehicles at the scene. The red dot represents the agent who fired the shots. Yellow dots are other agents who arrived at the scene.

Absolutely horrific details about an ICE shooting in Minneapolis.
A witness says a woman was trying to drive away from an ICE operation and the ICE agent "reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times."
Bovino was there.

There is no legal justification, whatsoever, to use military force against a NATO ally like Greenland.
If any military member participates in this without congressional authorization, they are following illegal orders.
