Following ICE's killing of Alex Pretti, social media suppression allegations are mounting.
Newsom launched a probe into TikTok — amid claims that it's "censoring Trump-critical content" — and Meta has started blocking users from sharing a website outing ICE agents.

If - if - there is now de-escalation in Minnesota then that undermines the objective of Trump and Miller of invoking the Insurrection Act.
And that is what can happen when you foment disorder: it is, well, disorderly, and so doesn’t go to plan.
Miller and Trump may have a set-back in their goal.
