They LIE: It’s murder.
She was not a threat; no one was in danger. Multiple eyewitness videos confirm that.
This is an extrajudicial execution of a caring, nonviolent community member trying to protect her neighbors—period. Our tax dollars at work.

Extremism is knocking on our door, as YouTubers and federal agents. Schools and hospitals are slashed while Trump pardons crooks and gives handouts to billionaires.
Minnesotans know there’s only one way to weather a storm: you don’t do it alone.

ICE is very active all over South Minneapolis right now.
Target Parking Lot, Cedar Riverside, 13th Ave and 31st Street, Mercado Central, on and on and on. Please get outside and whistle and honk at these Nazis. They are grabbing people off the sidewalk and out of their cars.

This is one of the infections that freaks infectious disease doctors out. Used to be a regular occurrence on college campuses due to close living quarters/close contact.
Then we started vaccinating. I haven't seen a case in years.

This is purpura fulminans, a severe complication of meningitis (which as of today is no longer on our universal vaccine schedule)
Micro clots & bleeding into the skin cause skin & tissue death. It’s more common in kids & associated with 20-70% mortality.
Those who survive often lose limbs.

After ICE did this in Illinois, the Secretary of State revoked the plates, sent a cease and desist to ICE, threatened to suspend rental car licenses for allowing ICE to swap plates and set up a tip hotline to report plate tampering.
MN deserves the same action.

MPD said in a statement that they responded to an “officer needs help” call, but confirmed that no one was being assaulted & that no life-safety conditions warranted further officer involvement.
Why did MPD assist in kidnapping our neighbors with controlling the space? This was just one example.

If any "centrist" or "moderate Democrat" says Trump isn't a racist or simply appeals to "economic anxiety," I think we can safely ignore them forever and tell them to move aside as the rest of us move forward.
