"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."

Minnesota remains under siege by ICE, they continue to terrorize communities and carry out acts of brutality against community members. This is what Trump and his Gestapo hope to spread nationwide.

This is like war, on our own soil, by our own government.
Flashbang grenades can incapacitate you, stun you to the point that you can't hear, and leave you with tinnitus.
Trump and Republicans are waging war on America.

Since the Trump administration is so eager to cover up the rape of children, it is hardly surprising that they would also cover up a murder.
The head of Minnesota's state investigations agency says the U.S. attorney's office has cut off its access in the fatal shooting of a Minneapolis woman by an ICE agent. https://to.pbs.org/4qD81KW
Minnesota officials say they can't access evidence after fatal ICE shooting and FBI won't work jointly on investigation
An unidentified ICE officer fatally shot a 37-year-old woman in the head on Wednesday while she was in her car in a residential neighborhood south of downtown Minneapolis.

Every activated Guardsman has a family, a job, school, or something that they are leaving to do their duty.
It’s one thing when it’s a war… or a real mass civil disturbance, which those only last a few days.
But to rip these people from their lives for a show… is awful.

That any of us have to care about the messy breakup of these two massive narcissists — and that they both individually wield such massive power — is an indictment of our political system and further proves the poisonous influence of Big Money on our democracy.

What kind of new low is this?
The Trump administration has halted $1 billion in funding for mental health services for children, claiming that the programs, which were established under a bipartisan law aimed at curbing gun violence in schools, are no longer in “the best interest of the federal government.”
