Woman shot and killed by ICE in Minnesota- potential legal action and outcome of investigation.

And we think we’ve got problems … just gets worse.

imaround thank you for posting the interview with the lady in the pink coat.
I thought it was a powerful testimony.

She is so brave. They all are.

Trying to gauge a new thread for tomorrow. Cuba or election interference seek to be his next targets.

"Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has conceded she may have gotten some information wrong in her initial response to Border Patrol’s killing of Alex Pretti, the Minneapolis ICU nurse she labeled a domestic terrorist."

Question

Come November, will Trump deploy the goons to stand outside voting places to deter the black vote?

That could happen WhiteWave. Should worried folk plan to use their postal vote instead?

I guess, except Trump reckons postal votes are fraudulent.

Yes he will WWM
Anything he can do...

He apparently already has people posted at hospitals. I read about ICE at A&E..

He'll stop at nothing in my opinion.

Ms Noem is preparing her Nuremberg defence " I was merely following orders". I think she senses a change coming, and has fears for how her behaviours might be viewed in the near future.
I do hope so.

Woman interviewed in Minneapolis, saying that although Trump is supposedly making changes etc, the threat is not going away, because if they withdraw Trump will see it as loosing and he hates losers. (Something to do with his childhood and fathers mockery).

The threat to illegal immigrants in the area isn’t going away as cracking down and deportation was high on the agenda for Trump and his administration and is popular generally with most Americans as well.It’s the way that it’s been implemented by ICE that’s the problem and the new boss will be looking to change that, possibly by getting police to keep protesters back while immigration gets on with any arresting of immigrants.

He is trying to send them to Italy, why wouldn't "monitor" elections at home? They just seized 2020 voting records from Georgia yesterday. He won't give that up so I guess he is going to find those 11,000 votes from 6 year ago of it is the last thing he does. /s

They have started arresting journalists today.

Can I please draw your attention to the wearing of red hats?
This was new to me.
But interesting.

Yes - a CNN journalist?

Trump is gradually trashing the constitution.

If a future government doesn’t tackle the clear weaknesses in the checks and balances etc, then the USA is done for.

Yes, the resistance is knitting red hats. Not the MSGS ones, but the style made by Norwegians during WW2.

This random blog has an image of the hat. The pattern sales have raised over $250,000 (at $5 a pop) for Minneapolis. And they are just getting started.

I bought the patterns for knit and crochet yesterday. I haven't had my needles out in a long time, but I am going to give it a try.

Arresting more than one journalist, it appears

I have two red beanie hats, though not knitted..

Perhaps we in the UK should show some solidarity?

Isn’t it based on the hats worn by the sans culottes during the French Revolution.

Liberty, Fraternity etc😊

It could be Whitewave. I thought I read it was Norway. Either way. We are taking back the red hat (and everything else).

🤞🤞🤞

And also, some Epstein files dropped today. I have barely looked at anything and Bill Gates looked bad already.

Tho if you live in Essex this could be misconstrued 😂

DH's DGM used to say that.
'Red hat, no drawers'. I'd bought a red hat for a wedding.

I have the yarn, but not bright red.

It can be any color red. I have a nice heathered alpaca wool blend I have been saving for a long time. This feels like the perfect opportunity.

Go for it.
