The Trump regime’s message to ICE agents is clear and disturbing:
“Keep murdering peaceful protesters. We will cover for you.”

They keep showing us who they are.
Murdering our citizens for peacefully exercising their rights, ignoring our laws, gaslighting us for demanding justice…
They think their brutality will cower us into silence.
Into obeisance.
They clearly don’t know who we are.

So, it is just the entire Federal Government not just Donald Trump, who fabricates what is seen on video. What a shithole government!

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.

He has the power to do so. But he's just bitching.
Governors have the power to:
1) Use STATE POLICE to arrest Federal Officers who violate State Law.
2) Mobilize their state's NATIONAL GUARD to protect their citizens!
