One of my very favorite photos I’ve made to date. A tiny Eastern Screech Owl warming itself in the early sun on an incredibly cold winter morning in Minneapolis.

According to my sources, the FBI was initially open to a concurrent investigation with the MN Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (the state agency that would do this investigation).
Trumpy U.S. Attorney Daniel Rosen heard about this and intervened, barring the FBI from cooperating with local police.

Meanwhile near where they killed Renee Good ICE was terrorizing a high school — and now Minneapolis has canceled school for the week.
None of this is about safety. A lawless regime with no guardrails.

WITNESS: "I just can't let this narrative of self-defense go any further. That’s absolutely not what it was… ICE agents didn’t let anyone help her for 15 minutes, then medics couldn’t get through with their ambulance.”

ICE's brutal killing in Minneapolis today is partly explained by an insane loophole in our legal system: Victims can sue state & local law enforcement for constitutional harms, but not federal officers.
But it doesn't have to be this way. Minnesota, acting alone, could close the loophole.

Minnesota — and all states — must close the legal loophole that protects the shooter from accountability

For months, Trump’s DHS has wreaked lawless havoc in our neighborhoods. Tear gassing infants, families, and police. Firing their weapons at peaceful citizens. Killing innocent people.
It’s brutal, unconstitutional, and out of control.
It must stop.
Kristi Noem must go. Now.

At least four videos show what really happened when ICE shot a woman in Minneapolis on Wednesday. DHS has established itself as an agency that cannot be trusted to live in or present reality.

Really worth watching this interview with a bystander who witnessed the ICE shooting in Minneapolis: "I'm pretty right-leaning. But seeing this, this is not how we're supposed to be doing things in America.”

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.

Trump posting that disgusting statement is absolutely a win. Obviously his sycophants are doubling down but the cold-blooded murder of a White woman in broad daylight isn’t really something the electorate is into.

How anyone believes anything this horrifically dishonest lady says is beyond me. You could be staring into the direct sun and she’d tell you it’s not there.
The eyewitness videos are all over the web. Put your own eyes on them and decide whether that young woman deserved to lose her life.

We the people who believe in decency, peace, and respect for all as the default are in the vast majority of Americans. Together we can resist and absolutely will overcome the small minority who’ve temporarily gained power by stoking fear and hate. But decency will prevail. Be peaceful and resilient.
