Meanwhile near where they killed Renee Good ICE was terrorizing a high school — and now Minneapolis has canceled school for the week.
None of this is about safety. A lawless regime with no guardrails.

It is impossible to make democracy work with a party that not only tolerates people like this, but elevates them to positions of influence.
