Good point.

26.01.2026 19:20 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Wow! The press secretary just inflamed the whole situation by her very slanted speech trying to equate the murder of Alex Pretti with a Jan 6 rioter who was killed by a police officer in an act of self-defence.
Her tone is always aggressive and self-righteous. Always inflames. Frequently lies.
Noem and Bovino lied about the actions of Alex Pretti. They are untrustworthy and should be fired or impeached.
No wonder people have no trust in the federal forces.
Loved this series. It had the whole Romeo-Juliet vibe. Forbidden love that succeeded anyway because characters were wiling to take risks. No one dies literally or figuratively though.
Actually, my favourite was the Scott Hunter character.
Great Canadian production.
Censorship is inevitable on this medium considering who is now in control. Abandon it.

Nothing is safe until this gets fixed.
The removal must go deeper. It is a good place to start.

26.01.2026 04:26 β π 2 π 1 π¬ 0 π 0Placing these particular ICE thugs in Minnesota at this time was like throwing a match into a pile of straw. The goal was to escalate violence, not lower tension.
Throw in misstatements like "brandishing a weapon", "armed assassin", "seeking maximum damage,".
The administration wants violence.
The saddest thing about the murder of Alex Pretti is that the event unfolded as planned. It didn't matter that it was this specific young man, but he was ideal--someone whose innocent death would be so abhorrent that it would incite a riot.
Riot=insurrection act=no election=goal achieved.
No question. This was murder with no consequences. This is Trump's America by the Trump, for the Trump and law and truth don't matter.

Keep fighting Minnesota against this horrific injustice!
Isn't America proud that their citizens can carry guns?
Does it give ICE an excuse to murder them?
10 shots to murder this wonderful citizen?
Wow! What resilience under so much adversity.

The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty has totally disintegrated under Trump and Putin.
