Ms. Omar, visibly shaken after the assault, insisted to her staff and security that she would continue. She asked for a napkin and told them: "Just give me 10 minutes. I beg you. Please don't let them have the show."
Ms. Omar then turned the crowd. "Here's the reality that people like this ugly man don't understand," she said. "We are Minnesota strong, and we will stay resilient in the face of whatever they might throw at us."
Someone in the crowd later thanked Ms.
Omar for staying and continuing after the assault, which had shaken not only her but the entire room.
"I learned at a young age you don't give in to threats," Ms. Omar said.

Alex Pretti's killing was recorded on body-camera videos, DHS says Investigators are reviewing videos of the shooting from multiple angles, a Department of Homeland Security spokesperson told NBC News.

The agents who beat and then killed Alex Pretti after they took his gun - they were wearing body cams.

That did not stop them.

Unmasking them might. Not every time. But it might stop some of them.

Like Tom Suozzi, Chuck failed a fundamental cognitive test a child could pass:

โ€œI failed to view the DHS funding vote as a referendum on the illegal and immoral conduct of ICE in Minneapolisโ€

Imagine saying the allies needed to merely restrain Hitler

NBC screenshot:

"Two sources on the call told NBC News that Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., told the caucus the message had to be to โ€œrestrain, reform and restrict ICE.โ€

According to one of the sources, Schumer told them that the vote wonโ€™t come until Thursday and that he discussed the Democratic caucusโ€™ unity in opposition to funding DHS without reforms. He said the five other funding bills apart from the DHS measure are acceptable."

Something important to understand about ICE thugs in the Twin Cities is that they're harassing innocent kids and parents at bus stops and schools every single day. Even after the Pretti shooting. It's terrorism.

This is the same Greg Abbott who dispatched the national guard to intimidate US soldiers because someone on an HOA listserv said Jade Helm was a plot to incarcerate Texans in concentration camps.

The killing of Alex Pretti and the grotesque lying was an overreach by the administration. They've paid a price and had to pull back a bit. But it's when there's some disarray that the democratic opposition needs to intensify the offensive, and turn a marginal tactical success into a major victory.

New Jersey Passes Law Requiring License, Registration, And Insurance For E-Bikes - Jalopnik On his last day in office, outgoing Governor Phil Murphy signed the law in response to an increasing number of e-bike crashes and fatalities.

This is not the right approach... I own two legal E-bikes that are capable of Class 3 speeds (28 mph while pedaling) but never really go that fast. Yes E-bike safety should be addressed for younger riders but don't punish the slower class 1 and 2 E-bike owners.

Trafalgar Square filled with protesters demanding justice for Alex Pretti while opposing Farage.

I say again, this does not even approach a scintilla of the accountability that is required. These are PR moves.

This isn't about "training issues." The murderer who executed Renee Good has been with ICE for 10 years, and according to DHS, the murderer who executed Alex Pretti has been there for 8 years.

These aren't "new recruits," or officers that can be "retrained." ICE can't be reformed. Abolish ICE.

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.
