Bravo, Minnesota. This shooting was completely avoidable. Officers are trained to de-escalate, not to callously kill civilians. When our streets are militarized, the loss of innocent lives is inevitable.
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.

"By shouting things like 'our prices are coming down tremendously,' Trump is telling voters to 'reject the evidence of their eyes and ears.' But this is 2025, not 1984, and voters aren’t buying it."
The Hoax of Christmas Present
Polling and focus group data show voters across parties feel crushed by rising costs, even as Trump dismisses affordability concerns as a “hoax” that contradicts Americans’ lived reality.
