MN Doctor: I learned that Renee Good still had a pulse 8 minutes after she was shot by an ICE agent. And yet the offer to administer aid from a physician on the scene was denied. I can't say how much that stirs the blood of everyone behind me here as we try to fulfill our oath

Two men in ICE detention say they saw guards kill a fellow detainee. Now the Trump administration is trying to deport the witnesses. This looks a lot like a cover-up. We need an independent investigation NOW.

Oh, so the conspiracies about DOGE illegally accessing data and working with groups to over turn election results… Are accurate. That is now 3 different schemes we had proof of where Trump and co tried to deprive you of the right to vote!
Two members of Elon Musk’s DOGE team working at the Social Security Administration were secretly in touch with an advocacy group seeking to “overturn election results in certain states,” and one signed an agreement that may have involved using Social Security data to match state

I have questions! Pursuant to 31 U.S.C. 5316, a US citizen departing the US can carry up to $10,000 in cash without declaring it. That means 2 US citizens can carry $20k. So what exactly is happening here?
UNDECLARED CASH SEIZED AT MSP On January 18, HSI St. Paul and @CBP seized $14,135 from two Somali-born U.S. citizens who were departing on international flights from MSP. ICE and CBP remain vigilant in detecting and preventing the illegal movement of funds across borders to

Hey, so. After Charlie Kirk was killed, did the left doxx his kids' school and barrage it with so much harassment and violent threats it had to shut down for the safety of the students and staff? Because the right did that to Renee Good's six year old son's school.
