Minneapolis protester as he's being brutalized by feds: "You're gonna have to kill me! You're gonna have to kill me! I've done nothing wrong! My name is Matthew James! I'm a US citizen! You're gonna kill me! Is that what you want?" (You can hear his wife screaming)

I am watching what is happening in Minneapolis on Ali Velshi and one of the ICE officers (off camera) literally says, “It’s like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?” as they shoot whatever it is they are shooting. Agents walking around, guns unholstered for no reason. This is insanity

Thank you Minnesota.
I'm already an emotional person, but I'm surprised at how much I've been crying today following the news out of Minnesota. It feels like a dam has burst, but tears of release instead of the usual tears of grief and rage. Hope isn't dead. Thank you.

I agree. They need to enhance the flavor for them. Have you tried the pill pockets that they sell? My cat actually liked those.
#Caturday thought of the day. Will never understand why they can't make pet medications taste good to us animals. Like Temptations or Dreamies. Humans are supposed to know everything but can't do that one little thing. Pfft ! Weather is bad for a lot of of our friends. Stay safe & warm pals. Hugs 🩷

There is video circulating on social media of a group of ICE agents beating a man near 26th and Nicollet in south Minneapolis, then one of the ICE agents shoots the man while he's on the ground numerous times. A witness can be heard yelling that the victim is dead.

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.
The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

Last week, when we learned DoJ was investigating Renee Good’s partner, I said they’d probably investigate Good herself if she hadn’t died. Turns out…

If you want to be really good at something you have to be willing to fail. Being will to fail is easier when you have a strong sense of self. Having a strong sense of self requires not identifying with the outcomes of your efforts.

I'm so sorry about Gotti. I know how difficult it is to lose them.
I really miss having a kitty cat to share a house with. I look at Gotti pictures and it makes me feel sad and alone.
I can’t take that responsibility now though. I must change my phone background pictures I think.
