Weird how many people are simply ignoring this fact. These people are heavy armed & have zero genuine law enforcement training. Oh. And they don’t give a shit about anyone other than themselves and their cosplay buddies.
Tina Smith: "I've worked closely with law enforcement in my roles at state and local government, and I have never seen anybody describe as protocol holding a cell phone and taking video while you are simultaneously shooting a gun that ends up killing somebody. It's kind of unbelievable."

We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

Thank goodness we have Independent politicians willing to take on this fight. The duopoly's decision to literally rig election funding is a disgrace. If you have the capacity, chip in to help fund this challenge - for me, I see it as probably the only way I can register my protest #auspol
The duopoly have rewritten the election rulebook, making it almost impossible for independents to stand and win. Zoe and I are in the High Court challenging this rigged rulebook to ensure choices remain on election day. Please chip in to help us👇. #auspol
The Fair Elections Case | High Court Challenge
The major parties have re-written the rules to rig elections in their favour. But Zoe Daniel and Rex Patrick are fighting back, all the way to the High Court.

Quite genuinely, this is why Frydenberg et al never wanted Bell as commissioner. She will no doubt examine real, appalling instances of antisemitism, and the extremism that led to Bondi massacre, but I suspect she will spend at least some time on the plain truth of Israel’s campaign for silence.

A friend in Minneapolis just sent me this video. Looks like thousands have come together for a vigil after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. This was my neighborhood for several years before coming to Portland.

Why is the media staying silent about more than a thousand rank-and-file Labor members calling on the govt to rescind its invitation to Israeli Pres Herzog?

Well that only took a year. Glad to see someone finally putting their leadership pants on.
I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy.
She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

Horrifying on so many levels it’s hard to know where to start
You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.
This could be you.

This is blatantly illegal. A president can’t go into the oil business and then decide where to spend the money. We are completely untethered from our founding document with a lawless president and a Republican Congress which has abdicated all Constitutional authority.

If Trump is really stealing spending power from Congress then it would be insanity for Democrats to vote to fund the government later this month. Shut it down until the president stops wiping his ass with the Constitution.

Narrator: There is no justice.
It’s five years to the day since Donald Trump’s followers attempted to violently overthrow the democratically elected U.S Government following his repeated false claims that the election had been stolen.
If there was any justice Trump would be in prison, not the White House.
