The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

I hope that Democrats realize what’s happening in Minnesota is also a dry run for what the regime has planned for the midterms.

Absolutely reprehensible that AG Bondi is offering ICE stand down in exchange for access to voting rolls. Outrageous and disgusting. It shows ICE is in Minneapolis is not for law enforcement purposes. Instead it’s a way to stir up shit in blue states and extort them.
In the wake of another fatal shooting in Minneapolis.
AG Pam Bondi sends Gov. Walz a letter today making several asks including:
"Allow DOJ Civil Rights division access to state voter rolls"

Feels like it should be a pretty big deal that a Trump supporter physically assaulted a Democratic congressman
Last night, I was assaulted by a man at Sundance Festival who told me that Trump was going to deport me before he punched me in the face. He was heard screaming racist remarks as he drunkenly ran off. The individual was arrested and I am okay.

These people spent the entire Covid pandemic with semi-automatic weapons at protests.
Now they’re so horrified a man had a gun at protest, that they think he must be shot dead.

There you have it.
ICE has never been about immigration enforcement.
It's a weapon used to brutalize Americans and stoke enough fear so that Trump can rig the elections and usher in dictatorship.

If you think American citizens should be summarily executed by masked federal agents, you’re not a patriot.
If you think the lawless goons loyal to our demented pedophile criminal president are greater than the people of Minnesota, you’re not a patriot.

There is no justification for shooting an observer with seven agents holding him on the ground.
What will it take for GOP leaders to say enough?
You can't blame observers. You can't blame Democrats for telling the truth.
The blame lies with reckless ICE officers. ICE must go.

ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city.
If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.
