I’ve lost my sheep and don’t know where to find them. Determined to find them I spied their tails hung on a tree to dry. I heaved a sigh and wiped my eye. I try what I can as a shepherdess should.

MPD Chief says the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension would be responsible for bringing state charges. Another official added: "We are making sure that there is some kind of local entity that has a part in this investigation for the purposes of transparency."

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.

I come from the Tea Party. Trump is the tyrant the Tea Party always said they feared. Now they embrace the tyrant. ICE, these armed/masked federal agents, are the “jack-booted thugs” the Tea Party always said they despised. Now they applaud the jack-booted thugs.
The Tea Party became MAGA.

If you want to donate ICE alarms — so communities can blow the whistle to keep ICE from killing people — you can do so here. 100% goes to buying these for at-risk communities.

Tillis voted to acquit.
Sen. Tillis denounces Trump's pardons of J6 insurrectionists: "We let bad people go, and we sent the message that if you come to this Capitol and you have the right president in office, he's gonna get you get past things that not anyone of us would get away with if we did it back in our home state"

A reminder of all the injuries LE suffered January 6.

5 people died in the Capitol grounds on January 6, 2021.
5 police officers died in the weeks after, one within hours of a stroke due to extreme duress, and 4 by suicide due to trauma.

"What we are witnessing with Venezuela follows the same exact playbook Putin used in Ukraine. Putin didn’t call it a war. He called it a 'special military operation.' Trump doesn’t call what he’s doing an invasion either. He wraps it in language about corruption, stability, security."

Even ignoring the reasons that SDNY is unlikely to fuck up the Maduro prosecution (they've prosecuted the underlying people, they haven't been as corrupted as badly as DC or EDVA, they've done tons of these), bc of the CIPA issues it'll be years before this goes to trial.

And allies wont likely buy the bonds. Goal- crash the economy & chaos. Republicans just sit letting it happen.
This can’t be true because Trump said tariffs were going to pay for everything and we were all going to get $2,000 checks with the money left over.

One of most remarkable US presentations at UN Security Council I've ever seen.
- No reference to UN Charter legal justification
- Claims Panama as precedent (which the UN condemned)
- Energy reserves ⤵️ as justification is illegal
- Sharp contrast with US Ambassador Pickering presentation in 1989

The same day Katie did this, Trump said they need Greenland for security reasons. The latter is more problematic but given that both Katie & Trump are largely parrots of what they hear, both are likely telling us what Stephen Miller is saying.
This post by Stephen Miller’s wife helps normalize the idea that borders are provisional and power decides outcomes. Coming from someone adjacent to the people shaping that worldview is not incidental. It reinforces the direction of travel without requiring formal endorsement. #holdfast

Based on what we have seen over the past year, it’s a pretty good bet that Donald Trump, Jr is about to become affiliated with a startup venture related to exploiting oil resources in Venezuela, where he will do nothing and know nothing while profiting substantially.

Sounds perfect.
Under international law, since Trump has used Mar-A-Lago as a command post for military operations it is now a valid and priority military target for any country the US commits aggression against.
