Don’t let this White House lie to you. Believe what you see.
Alex Pretti was trying to help a woman off the ground. Then immigration agents tackled, shot, and killed him.
It’s time for them to get the hell out of MN.

I was always uncomfortable with the idea though I was fine with using them for lighthearted posts.
I used to be of the belief that electeds should act more casual to show they are of the people. But now I move towards enforcing official decorum since they are very much not.

As someone who wrote some of the first tweets by a democratic member of congress using swear words, I feel like a monster was created.
They really weren't meant to be used this way. Electeds use them to sound emphatic and hide that they are not acting.

The senators are even worse. They have always been able to shut down the floor and force debate on literally ANY issue and they just refuse to do it.
So climate change, universal health care, whatever. If Congress isn't working on it, every member is responsible.

A clearcut homicide with malice aforethought and again blocking physicians who attempted to come to the victim's aid.
Everything you need to know about ICE is here: "I asked the ICE agents if the victim had a pulse, and they said they did not know." Instead they were standing around counting bullet wounds. This is from a medical eyewitness:

OTD in 1935 Hitler assured Poland he would not invade them. A few years later he said Germans were being oppressed & killed so he attacked, carried out genocide and spent the last years of his life in bunker detached from reality.

That is also not a valid reason and also not accurate. The Trump administration is going to do whatever it is going to do. Pretending the problem doesn't exist and not using every tool of resistance available is not governing, it is cowardice.

An order to the MN national guards to oppose federal forces is an order that may very likely not be obeyed, and that’s clearly why Walz hasn’t given it imo.
