This is what happens when the orange skid mark disgustingly disparages people.
This is unacceptable. Violence and intimidation have no place in Minneapolis. We can disagree without putting people at risk. I’m relieved Rep. Omar is okay and appreciate MPD for responding quickly. This kind of behavior will not be tolerated in our city. www.cbsnews.com/news/rep-ilh...
Man charges at Rep. Ilhan Omar and sprays her with substance at town hall
Omar was calling for the abolishment of ICE and for Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to resign when a man sitting in the front row rushed up and sprayed her.

"We will continue. These fucking assholes will not get away with this" is a bar
Minneapolis, MN -
US Rep. Ilhan Omar was just sprayed by an unknown substance during a town hall meeting in North Minneapolis. Despite some telling her she needed to change, she continued to speak to the crowd.

This moment in history provides us with incontrovertible evidence that all the conservatives who claim to be extremely devoted to freedom of speech and the right to bear arms, and opposed to the encroachment of tyranny, are completely and totally full of shit.
It's all white supremacy and greed.

Two women trained as first responders were abducted by three ICE agents. One of the agents starts seizing. The other two don’t know what to do. The women jump into action and save the agent’s life, only to be re-handcuffed and processed.

Detained by ICE, two women became first responders during agent’s seizure
The women say they guided agents through the emergency, later raising concerns about medical protocols, weapons safety and accountability.

The massive nonviolent citizen response to ICE operations in Minneapolis is the way forward. Violence is what the fascists want. And it is not who we are.

They are targeting children because they are trying incite violence. I have talked to many journalists today, and they all made the same observation: Border Patrol and ICE have been rolling around with maximum aggression, lingering for ages as crowds, gather, seemingly trying to cause a riot.

So 24 hours later, feeling a lot worse about the Bills game. They definitely didn’t deserve to win but those calls against them were bad. Honestly equal parts blame. Not on the level of wide right or 13 seconds but definitely up there. Seeing Allen and Cooks in tears just heartbreaking
