The latest: Eight more federal prosecutors set to leave the Minnesota U.S. Attorney’s Office

A great conversation with two reporters on the ground in Mpls, they capture the mood of the city perfectly. Travel anywhere in the metro and it feels like we’re under occupation. It’s palpable. Urgent action is needed. We are a testing ground. Before too long the secret police will be in your town.

They’re taking kids from Minnesota and sending them to detention camps. They’re shooting American citizens in the street and locking investigators out of the crime scenes. The world is watching what happens next.
Hundreds of people spelled out the distress signal "SOS" on Bde Maka Ska in Minneapolis on Friday, Jan. 30.

From the court's order granting habeas corpus for the 5 year old & his father:
"Observing human behavior confirms that for some among us,the perfidious lust for unbridled power and the imposition of cruelty in its quest know no bounds and are bereft of human decency. And the rule of law be damned."

In Trump’s America, if you record a protest, post a meme, or publish an article the regime doesn’t like, you can be woken up in the middle of the night and find this at your door.
If you’re not treating this like a five-alarm fire right now, it won’t stop here.
In time, they will come for you too.
