Makes more sense when you realize that Gadsden was a slaver and he battled in the American Revolution to protect the institution of slavery and the transatlantic slave trade

Renee was killed by ICE in Hennepin County, where Klobuchar was County Attorney.
During the time that Klobuchar was County Attorney, cops killed 30 people.
How many charges did she bring against these killer cops?
A) 30 of course! Murder is murder.
B) Only 15? Half ain't bad.
C) 5?😮
D) Zero?🤦🏿♂️

Jen Psaki: Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said he wants ICE to leave. Do you want ICE to leave Minnesota?
Amy Klobuchar: ICE, when it does its job, would be working with our police to apprehend violent offenders.

The USDA just cut off ag aid to MN
They’re targeting and invading Minnesota. Cutting off all of our federal funding and flooding our state with federal agents with no purpose. They’re here to terrorize, cause chaos to justify their unlawful cruelty. Enough.
Federal immigration officers are pulling out of a Louisiana crackdown and heading to Minneapolis in an abrupt pivot from an operation that drew protests around New Orleans and aimed to make thousands of arrests, according to documents obtained by The Associated Press.

A very thoughtful 🧵 about the newly released dietary guidelines and generally on the process through which they were developed.
We should be highly skeptical about any guidance from this administration and, as Matthew notes, experts should really ponder whether to participate in its processes.

More is coming to light about how we got the inconsistent & contradictory new guidelines. Much of it came about because the evidence was cherry-picked. 1/
We got the upside-down dietary guidelines from political maneuvering, not a science-based process. It has a scientific committee, touted as backing this report, but it likely installed to justify pre-held beliefs of RFK Jr & MAHA, who love animal products 1/ www.businessinsider.com/rfk-new-diet...

the ICE officer calling a woman he just murdered a “fucking bitch” is visceral, but imo the most material new information in the latest video is that she very clearly turns the wheel away from the officer right before it happens
