ICE just indiscriminately stopped a citizen at a bus stop in front of the co-op. If this is how they treat the President of the Minneapolis City Council who is legally observing, just think of what they’re doing to everyone else in our City.

ICE totaled this car, abducted a woman, and then left it in the middle of Snelling Avenue, one of the busiest streets in the Twin Cities.
This isn’t law and order, this state sanctioned terrorism. It’s fucking disgusting.

Sounds like a threat to me. He's threatening to murder her because she's recording? These thugs should be in jail.
A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."
The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

Why isn't the guy in custody and facing a trial instead of people arguing online whether it was justified or not? If they think it was justified, why don't they let him face justice?
Watched it myself.
After she spoke to him calmly. After shooting her. Three times. In the face.
The murderer called Renee Good a "fucking bitch."

In the video that the shooter took, which I believe was leaked to be exculpatory, he appears to yell “fucking bitch” after he shoots Renee Good.

NDP denounces the illegal attack of Trump against the venezuelian regime. Latin America is not owned by the USA and it’s not its playground. International law and the people’s right to self determination exists. The liberal government should clearly defend these principles. #NDP @ndp.ca #cdnpoli

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, I hope Albertans will remember that trans kids and teens are living breathing humans who just want to be themselves, without fear of hate and discrimination. Demonizing kids merely to score political points in some weird culture war is craven and cruel.

Great article. Immigrants, illegal or not, are not "the flood", they are not parasites worthy of extermination. Shame on @microsoft.com for not condemning this.

I am begging Canadians to understand that Canada Post, like public transit, should not be a business - it's a service.
Canada Post is a lifeline for rural, remote and Northern communities and overall, we need to re-evaluate why people think they "need" random shit delivered ASAP.

The government is reducing service standards and Canada Post’s biggest advantage: its nationwide network.
This plan is about cutting back the postal service instead of investing to give it new revenue tools through things like postal banking. It’s shameful.
