Today, local authorities confirmed the victims of the Stockton shooting were just 8, 9, 14, and 21 years old — and that the attack was likely targeted. Our hearts break for their families and the entire Stockton community.
America HATES its children. HATES them. We let them get slaughtered at schools, stores, and birthday parties. We think educating them wastes money that could go to deserving billionaires, instead of being an investment in our future. Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds even refused funds to FEED children. HATES

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."
The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

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.

Do it, Amy @klobuchar.senate.gov
This is my cordial invitation, fully serious, for @klobuchar.senate.gov to come on a patrol in northeast Minneapolis with me. Absolutely serious, join me.
I would shit my pants if Amy, or at the very least an advisor, came along with an ICE watch to see what is happening.

Can America Please Learn The Lesson From ICE Killing Renee Nicole Good That We Have Refused To Learn?
The same lesson that we didn't learn from law enforcement murdering George Floyd and so many others.

Pop was a law enforcement officer. He knew most of the local police in the town we lived in. When I got my license at 16, he told me "Don't push these assholes, Tim. They're little men who are looking for a reason to hurt people. Do what they say. These fuckers peeked in high school."

Think of your favorite revolution or rebellion. Now imagine yourself involved in some small way 1-5 years before its success. The only difference between you and your heroes is that you know they will win. It would be THE most exciting time to be alive.

Hard video to watch, but about as close as you can get to conclusively disproving the Trump admin's claims that she deliberately attempted to run down the officer. She even talks nicely with him moments before!
Note also that the officer is focused more on filming her than on anything else.
