Something is happening here, what it is isn’t exactly clear. The Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus told local media they want the state BCA granted full and equal access to all evidence so an independent investigation can happen.

Even the Barstool bros (whose founder Dave Portnoy voted for Trump three times) are lambasting ICE for their execution of Alex Pretti. This is breaking containment

This is an execution.
At least 7 ICE agents versus one man on the ground. They pistol whip the man on the ground multiple times before shooting him once, pausing, and then shooting him multiple times in quick succession.
2 executions in 17 days.

This video on Reddit shows ICE agents in Minneapolis in the process of detaining a man who is struggling with them. Suddenly, one agent fires their gun, and then other agents repeatedly unload bullets into the body which becomes motionless. This is horrific to watch.

What a distillation of the Trump-Vance-Rubio legacy.
Young woman in Michigan says "this is not just a foreign issue, it's our tax dollars being used to commit these war crimes," referring to Venezuela.
…Then police arrest her, on camera, for "obstructing" & "failure to obey."

They’ve walled off the wing where Sears was, only thing still left where Penny’s was is a random shoe store next to a karate place.
They’re not even bothering with the “Another Great Store, Coming Soon” anymore.

</h2>
<div class="content">
<div class="field field-field-text"><p>The UN special rapporteur on freedom of expression lashed out at Israel and debunked their claim that Al Jazeera journalist Anas al-Sharif was a Hamas member, Al Jazeera reported on Monday. Sharif was killed by Israel along with five other press members in a drone attack on their tent late on Sunday local time. </p>
<p>Irene Khan told Al Jazeera, “If they had real evidence [of this], do you not think that they would put it out, up front, right away in the international arena? Of course they would. But why are they not doing that? Because they don’t have that evidence,” she said.</p>
<p>“They simply [say] that any journalist who is reporting on Gaza must be a ‘Hamas member’, just as anyone who criticises Israel has to be ‘anti-Semitic’.</p>
<p>“That’s the way that Israel silences the world from criticising them or holding them to account.”</p>
