Videos analyzed by The New York Times contradict the accounts of Homeland Security officials, who said that the man approached Border Patrol agents with a handgun and the intent to 'massacre' them. Footage of the encounter shows the man was holding a phone in his hand, not a gun, when federal agents took him to the ground and shot him."
"But the stars burn on overhead,
Unconscious of final ends,
As I walk home to bed,
Asking what judgment waits
My person, all my friends,
And these United States." --W.H. Auden

Tell every single Democrat in Congress to NOT fund this regime. Period. Shut the government down. Not one human being should fund a regime that uses state violence against its own people. This regime lies to our faces about ICE murdering people in cold blood. ZERO funding for this!
I suspect the MN thing will continue to escalate. Perhaps the breaking point between democracy and totalitarianism. How can 35% of the populace control the majority - check with Goebbels, I guess.
Only dictators kill people for engaging in their right to free speech.
