Don't bring Laken Riley into this to exploit her tragic death. The Minneapolis murders are about state sponsored domestic terror by ICE and CBP goons.

Screenshot of an X post by “Comrade Misty is Putin’…” (name truncated, posted 20h ago) saying: “Her murderer was arrested, tried, and convicted. Not protected and celebrated by the state. See how that’s different?” The post quote-tweets another user, J (@JayTC53, 1d), who writes: “Laken Riley was a Nurse too. There were ZERO Democrats Protesting in the streets for her.” Below the quoted text is a photo of a smiling young woman with long dark hair standing outdoors in sunlight; people and building steps are visible in the background.

This breaks my heart to see.

Screenshot of an X.com post by The Tennessee Holler (@TheTNHoller) quoting a child saying a goalkeeper called them an illegal immigrant and said Trump would “get me and send me back,” followed by “Our kids are watching.” Below is a video still of a crying child in a soccer jersey sitting in a car, wearing a medal, with social video icons along the right side.

And use our money to terrorize communities and hurt our neighbors!

Screenshot of an X post by Turnbull (@cturnbull1968) that reads, “I’m tired of my taxes paying for this puffed up, swollen faced ghoul to run around in costumes and lie to me on a daily basis.” Below is an embedded TV news clip still labeled “LIVE WHITE HOUSE,” showing a woman with long dark hair speaking outdoors, with two suited men and security visible behind her. A red “BREAKING NEWS” banner at the bottom includes the headline “NOEM: CAN’T SPEAK TO OIL TANKER TRACKING,” along with a timer/progress bar indicating a short video.

A teenage boy was walking home in Minneapolis yesterday when four masked men jumped out of a van & questioned him - with no parent or guardian present.

He was bundled into the van & taken away.

Bystanders heard the boy say: “Can I just go home?”

I don’t know how America comes back from all this.

The boy holding a bag of haribo confectionary is questioned by a masked IcE agent while three others with weapons stand by

The boy has head bowed, holding his confectionary, as he is taken away.

honestly the best marketing scheme in history is men successfully getting away with calling women the "more emotional" gender for like, EONS, because they've successfully rebranded anger as Not An Emotion

It’s beyond insane that our overarching internal security agency has spent months tweeting barely-coded messages of support for neo-Nazi groups and the entire media apparatus looks at it and says “That’s odd but certainly not part a major story that is relevant to current events, I’m sure”

The White House would like us to forget this, but we will not.

Screenshot of a post by Acyn on X summarizing comments by Representative Dan Goldman. The post states that Goldman criticized the justification for pursuing Nicolás Maduro on drug trafficking charges, calling it bogus and noting that the Honduran president was recently pardoned for similar offenses. Below the text is a television news still from MSNBC’s The Briefing with Jen Psaki. Dan Goldman appears on screen in a studio or remote setup, wearing a dark jacket and light shirt, speaking directly to the camera. A nighttime city skyline with illuminated buildings is visible behind him. On-screen graphics include a red “Breaking News” banner reading “Maduro arrives in NY to face drugs and weapons charges,” along with Goldman’s name, title, and MSNBC branding.

There’s always a tweet.

Screenshot of an archived tweet from Donald J. Trump dated October 9, 2012. The tweet claims that President Obama might launch military strikes in Libya or Iran due to falling poll numbers and describes him as desperate. The image shows the tweet in the older Twitter Web Client interface, with the timestamp visible at the bottom.

The Immigration Act of 1924 helped keep out Italian immigrants, who were considered non-white. Dino Paul Crocetti changed his name to Dean Martin for his career. Frank Sinatra refused to change his name. Here he is reminding kids what it means to be accepting of differences…and not act like Nazis.
