Yes There Will Be Elections in November
There are comments on social media posts that appear to be designed to create a sense of futility, doomsayers decrying their opinion that elections will be cancelled. They are wrong.

I'm seeing a number of comments on other platforms fearing the midterms will be cancelled. There's a bit on Bluesky, people expressing real concern. On other platforms it's hard to tell which are bots plugging into the algorithm and which are people doing the same.

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.
Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

Shutting the government down because the president’s thug army keeps murdering American citizens for no reason seems pretty reasonable, IMO!

I don't know what Alex Pretti's religious beliefs were, but his actions, asking the lady that ICE had thrown to the curb if she was okay, a past reading of a final salute to a patient, were the actions of a follower of Jesus. Those of ICE were akin to Roman Centurions.

Let’s add rounded up four Native Americans, put three of them in one of their “detention” camps, moved them to an undisclosed location, said they would not reveal anything about them until the tribe signed an immigration agreement with ICE. Kidnapping and extortion.
So far in Minnesota
They Shot a 37-year-old mother Renee Good four times, killing her, right after she dropped off her son at school.
Then Ice kidnapped a five year old.
Then ice kidnapped a two year old
Then border patrol murdered Va nurse.
Then Sec Noam went on tv and lied about it

Hope the bastard drinks himself to death
This is an actual post from Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth: Praising ICE after Alex Pretti was killed, blaming the Democratic leadership of Minnesota, and writing that ICE is greater/better than Minnesota.
He is actively demeaning the people of Minnesota just hours after Pretti was murdered.

This piece of shit is Trump’s VA Secretary. One of his nurses was killed today. But the only thing he’s posted about is taking over Greenland.

Shutdown! Fuck everything!
Sen. Dick Durbin, another one of the 8 Democratic YES votes on Nov funding bill, is a NO on this DHS measure: “I will not vote to fund the illegal DHS and ICE operations that terrorize Chicago, Minneapolis, and many other communities.”
This bill doesn’t have the votes.

It's so very hard to share information like this.
But, I do so because so much is falling through the cracks because the media we used to trust is not reporting what is happening in our country.
I believe that when I share any news here that it may reach someone who might otherwise not know.

ICE attempted to order local police from the scene of the Minneapolis shooting, but the police chief refused and instructed his officers to preserve the crime scene.

An interesting snowdrift has developed in the backyard. Or is it the front yard? Let’s just call it roadside, not lakeside. Now if I were 50 years younger I’d be burrowing into that thing and making an awesome snow fort. But alas, I ain’t, and it’s currently -18F. So back inside.
