This guy is a public servant but he clearly only works for himself.

I totally agree. The video of anybody being shot and killed should shut down the thought of any more violence. Instead it is seen as an opportunity to incite more. US has been on this road for a long time.
On a happier note, it’s nice to hear from you!

I totally agree. Trump does not.

More Democrats growing a spine in real time. This was unexpected from @governor.ny.gov but she delivered a great message.

When ICE agents look like this, it is ENTIRELY APPROPRIATE for state and local law enforcement to step in and demand they identify themselves and show judicial warrants before detaining anyone from an immigration court.

Democratic mayor and governors can take action on this.

Suspect showed few signs of political extremism before lawmaker shootings Friends and associates say Vance Boelter, who was apprehended late Sunday and charged with murdering a state lawmaker and her husband, was mild-mannered and did not appear to be fixated on politics.

This is continued journalistic malpractice from the @startribune.com normalizing a violent white male suspect. He owned a private security company called Praetorian Guard, traveled overseas to preach against abortion and LGBTQ+ people, and attended a bible college that preaches "violent prayer."

Canada wildfires grow, forcing 17,000 people in Manitoba to flee "This is the largest evacuation Manitoba will have seen in most people's living memory," the province's premier said.

Scientists have linked worsening wildfire seasons to climate change, an issue that affects Canada significantly. The country is warming at a rate twice as that of the global average due to its large land mass, and its Arctic region is warming three times as fast.
