Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear: Harry S Truman

How does taking a young child from their home help target dangerous criminals, national security threats, or violent offenders like murderers, sex offenders, drug traffickers, or gang members?

ICE just abducted a 4-year-old boy in Minneapolis. ICE is using the boy as “bait” to get the mom. Father is also abducted. Absolutely disgusting, horrific, inhuman stuff.
Help. Us. Fight. There is only one right side of history on this.

Whistleblowers just shared a memo showing DHS instructing ICE to force their way into peoples' houses without a proper warrant. Why is this not on all the networks right now? This is a criminal conspiracy to violate rights under color of law.

I'm not some highly paid pundit, nor a historian, and hell, I only have a communications degree from a state universtiy, but I have to think that the thing that is most troubling for the rest of the world is not the president — but that neither our Congress nor our SCOTUS are stopping him.
