"Federal agents wouldn’t allow a man who said he is a physician to examine the driver, Heller said. Emergency medical technicians arrived 15 minutes later, she said. First responders were unable to get close to the scene because ICE agents did not move their cars to let them through."
An ICE officer shot a woman driving an SUV through her car window in south Minneapolis on Wednesday morning. The person is dead, according to a spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security. washingtonstatestandard.com/2026/01/07/r...

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.

Also well worth watching the BBC's The Rise of the Nazis, although I challenging anyone to watch early episodes without going "noooooo...!" www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...
Rise of the Nazis
How Hitler seized, kept and fell from power - from the origins of Nazism to the manhunt for the Holocaust's war criminals. Inside the minds of monsters - and those who fought them.

Real talk. If you start learning about this & you ask why a certain thing happened, keep digging. The more you know, the crazier our current situation seems.
Just gonna throw this out there that no book is more prescient for the times we face. It’s not hyperbole to say that the similarities to right now are chilling. You won’t vote your way out of this with a spineless opposition party and this is going to end very badly for many, many people.

This war and extra-judicial kidnapping is patently illegal and unconstitutional. Political leaders on both sides must condemn it. It’s not about whether Maduro is a tyrant but whether the US is still governed by laws and the Constitution. As if this morning, we are clearly not.
