Her name was Renee Good. She was only 37. She was a mother of a 6 year old child. And today in Minneapolis, MN, an ICE fascist shot her dead point blank.
Sending all my love to her child and her family.

Now, Trump threatens Greenland, Colombia, and Mexico.
Where is the line? When will Republicans find a spine to say this is ridiculous and dangerous?

Please stop assuming the military turns people MAGA.
Compared to a similar civilian demographic sample (80% male, 70% white, drawn predominately from the south and Midwest), veterans skew LESS conservative, not more.
Where you grew up is a bigger factor in shaping your politics than what you do.

Out of ~60,000 Somalis in Minnesota, 85 (.01%) have been criminally indicted
Out of ~4000 people in the Trump regime, 215 (5.4%) have been criminally indicted.
Thats a ~40X higher crime rate
Not qwhite sure why the people who ignore Trump indictments want you to be upset about Somali indictments🤔
