TIM WALZ: I feel you anger. I'm angry. They want a show. Don't give it to them. If you protest, protest peacefully. Please stand with Minneapolis. Know that we will stop at nothing to seek justice. We do not need any further help from the federal government. You've done enough.

If the United States Constitution doesn’t protect you from a federal agent shooting you in the face for the “crime” of turning your car around, it doesn’t exist. ICE has become a paramilitary force with zero oversight and a Secretary in Kristi Noem who encourages the chaos. ENOUGH.

And they’ll say they can’t be held accountable because when they pulled the trigger they were afraid for their lives. Their lives which they spent serving an ideology of fear, a machine of fear, a holistic regime of fear. A culture-spanning engine of the ugliest and most dishonest fears there are.
Any one of us could be shot or kidnapped because an ICE agent doesn’t like the look of us. Are you prepared to be murdered in cold blood while “news” sources repeat the claim you were “weaponizing your vehicle” trying to leave your driveway? They want you to accept that. They want to make it normal

The threat to court martial Senator Mark Kelly has been reduced to this petty, spiteful act - no doubt because this is what they think they can legally get away with.
Let's hope Kelly legally challenges this "administrative act" - for he did nothing wrong, merely setting out the applicable law.

Not commenting on Venezuela is one thing, but Starmer's ministers not even being willing to say "no of course the US shouldn't invade a peaceful sovereign democratic NATO country, which is one of our closest allies" is quite another.

When it comes to economic management, Britain really does try the same thing over and over, somehow expecting the outcome to be different.

Might want to make the argument it is more important than the US as well, as only the US-EU trade relationship is more important than UK-EU.
