I just read this on Facebook, posted by a man I’ve been blogging friends with for 20 years.

ICE is only in Minnesota because the state didn't vote for Trump. The vice president claims the agent has absolute immunity, and the federal government is shutting state law enforcement out of any investigation. The head of DHS and the president clearly lied about the entire incident, one saying that the agents were "stuck in the snow" (they weren't) when the woman attacked them with her car (she didn't) and the other saying she ran over the agent (she didn't) and the agent was recovering in the hospital (he wasn't.)
This escalated to MAGA (the "don't tread on me" gang) proclaiming that the woman deserved it for disobeying orders. Obey a government order (from a masked man with no jurisdiction or authority over US citizens) or be shot in the face. Stay home and don't make trouble or be executed in the street.
And now Kristi Noem, the head of Homeland Security (same position that Heinrich Himmler held,) has escalated even further.
"Oppose us and we will kill you. Then we will kill your wife. We will kill your children. We will kill your dog. We will kill everyone you have ever known. We will wipe you from the earth."
What do YOU think "one of ours, all of yours" means.
And the maga idiots cheer. Even the 37 year old white ones who live in states that didn't vote for Trump."l

The American Federal Government under the Criminal President Trump is turning America into a police state Adolph Hitler would highly approve of.
There will never again be a free and fair election in the this nation. My bet is soon marshal law will be implemented and continue through the canceled 2026 mid terms. Once the filth that is trump and his regime has dismantled entirely our 250 year old republic America will officially be an authoritarian state controlled by a filthy dictator and his band of murderers.
What can we say Shaw, what can we do?
MAGA land is fixated on "the ICE agent feared for his life" and "if the woman had just obeyed the agent, she'd be alive".
The canard about obedience is a standard line. Good was pleasant as she spoke to the agent, was moving away from him so he was not in danger and was not committing a single crime of which a masked, anonymous ICE agent had jurisdiction.
She might have been cited for impeding traffic, but that would be a misdemeanor, and fall under the local police, which ICE has sidelined, with impunity.
I'm struck by the felt need for ICE agents to wear masks. I'm struck by the federal government refusing to turn over evidence in Good's shooting to local and state authorities. I'm struck by the words from our president and Sec Noem, within minutes of the shooting, calling Good a "domestic terrorist". And I'm struck by the words from the administration that have said people impeding and committing violence against police officers, by definition, are "domestic terrorists", yet somehow cannot apply that same standard to the violent perpetrators of the Jan 6 tourist visit to the Capitol.
Today I was reading an essay by Fmr Navy Admiral Mark Hertling. In it, while writing about ICE agents and soldiers in Iraq, he commented that in 2008 both US and Iraqi soldiers operated without masks [And yes, he had photos].
But it was this line that caught my attention...
"In democratic societies, the use of lawful force depends on legitimacy. Legitimacy depends on accountability. And accountability begins with identification."
President Trump and his administration do not believe anyone has a right to oversee them, hold them accountable or question them. Thus the masks, the stonewalling of Congress, the refusal to abide by our laws, see Tik Tok and the Epstein files, and more.
Daily with their actions, the Trump Admin denies and trashes the COnstitution and makes a mockery of our founding documents.
And the so called patriots among us say nothing.
