Welcome to Minnesota, fuckers. Also this is super disturbing because the ICE agent's assault rifle appears to fire as he falls down.
This was filmed by a friend near Chicago and Lake last night.

Today my pastor of several years was detained by ICE at the lawful demonstration where ICE officers murdered Renee Good.
Three times they taunted and asked him if he's afraid yet. They let him go because he's white, saying, "Well you're white and it wouldn't be any fun."
This is his story:

So I wake up to the news of #Trump bombing and kidnapping #Maduro and his wife in #Venezuela Moments later I get a text from my daughter and grand daughters that are in Aruba saying all flights are grounded in the #Caribbean because of possible retaliation. I'm now officially worried.😱

Local CBS Minnesota story proves America’s been duped by right wing propagandist Nick Shirley & his “fraud” story about ABC Learning Center.
I’m sure MAGAs will still find a way to deny the facts, because they don’t care about justice, they care about white supremacy.

I just dispatched my first bat as a solo homeowner. 🦇 Stunned it with a racquet ball racquet, covered it with a towel, released it outside. 🏆

Since the election, I've started listening to classical music rather than public radio news in the car. Everything else is too harsh. Yesterday I realized that I've always switched to classical music after the death of a family member. Seems about right.
