After brutal attacks on the people of Minnesota, Bondi’s letter is a threat, not governance. Obey our politics or face raids, investigations, and federal takeover. Essentially, MAGA has the full force of the govt. to crush blue and purple states.

"They want to f*ck with the nation's elections so that they never have to cede power or answer for their crimes."
Bondi's letter—essentially offering to stop attacking and murdering citizens in Minnesota in exchange for the state's voter rolls—shows what Trump, Miller et al. are really after:
They want to fuck with the nation's elections so that they never have to cede power or answer for their crimes.

"Minneapolis was never about unrest, fraud or immigration—it was always about using fear and terror to grab power."
This letter from Bondi gives the game away.
Minneapolis was never about unrest, fraud or immigration—it was always about using fear and terror to grab power.
And now they are using the threat of state violence to strong arm their way into election interference.

Man, I bet the NRA is going to be furious when they hear that jack-booted thugs from the federal government executed a law-abiding citizen for exercising his Second Amendment right to carry a handgun.
Any second now, I'm sure.
He was a white guy, if that helps?
Hello? NRA?

Witnesses are now targets. Reminds me of the old trope in gangster films: "Make sure there are no witnesses."
This regime resembles a MOB. A growing mafia state.
But then what do we expect? Roy Cohn, the mafia lawyer, was a Trump advisor and was formerly associated with Joe McCarthy

ICE attacked an observer after they tailed a group of clergy on a spiritual pilgrimage.
Our digital producer @sam.vp just so happened to be with the clergy on their journey. He spoke with the observer who was attacked and others who witnessed the assault.

In another country in the late 1930s and early 1940s they sent children to extermination camps. It seems we are never far removed from evil. We're no different.
Here is a literal preschooler wearing a Spider-Man backpack, just like all of our kids, as the hand of a much larger masked ICE agent holds onto his backpack, as if he were a flight risk.
They want to tell you a kid with a Spider-Man backpack is evil
Liam Ramos' innocence, like the innocence of all kids, is unimpeachable. The visuals of his arrest are excruciating.

Everything is a lie with this regime, everything.
The White House posted a digitally altered image showing a demonstrator involved in interrupting a church service in Minnesota last weekend crying as she was arrested on Thursday.
A previous version of the image, also posted by an official government account, showed her looking forward calmly.

White House Posts Altered Photo Showing Arrested Minnesota Protester Crying
The New York Times ran the image posted by Kristi Noem, the homeland security secretary, as well as the one posted by the White House through an A.I. detection system. It concluded that the White House’s version showed signs of manipulation.

But, as we know, Trump does not like wounded, captured, or d3ad soldiers. He calls them suckers.
Donald Trump and his coterie dunking on Denmark like this is extremely disgraceful, and something we will never forget.

After Donald Trump disparaged Denmark’s contributions to NATO, one Danish soldier who served in Afghanistan told Isaac Stanley-Becker, “We were on the front lines, the same as the Americans. That was our job.”
