Sad this is even necessary, but the Minnesota State Fair is one of my favorite things to do with my kids in the summer. In more recent years, I have been a little more cautious with my little kids there.
👏🏼🎠 It starts one week from today! ☀️🎡
BREAKING: Attorney General Keith Ellison and Ramsey County Attorney John Choi announced they secured agreements and injunctions that will prevent two rival gangs from attending this year's State Fair: "I’m proud that we’ve accomplished," Ellison says.

🚨 BREAKING.
Lindsay Clancy jury excused for today.
Judge just announced “due to an unforeseen circumstance we are going to excuse you until tomorrow morning - this is not something we saw coming - you are not to speculate about what it is, or hold it against either side…. it’s just something we have to deal with.”
Court will be back tomorrow.
Things that are true at the same time imho:
—The shooting of Alex Pretti was an unjustified tragedy I don’t care what his politics are he is an American with constitutional rights
—Walz is a baffoon using his own citizens as pawns in a game of civil war to distract from fraud and other political problems
—Noem is incompetent and lied about the shooting to spin a false narrative and should be fired and replaced immediately
—ICE needs to level up the professionalism (process, marked uniforms/vehicles, lose the masks) or will lose credibility to do their job
—MN mobs following people around accusing them of being ICE, storming church’s and directly antagonizing ICE agents are wrong
—Trump admin needs to deescalate and chart a path to cooperation with local MN law enforcement the way they are in other states
—Biden admin let 10M+ illegal immigrants in without vetting and now we have a huge mess on our hands and deserve a ton of blame
Being objective - you can see the officer in the grey shirt remove Pretti’s handgun - then it accidentally discharges as he is running away from him. The other agents freaked, and shot Pretti several times. He was pistol whipped and punched in the head before that, and he was protecting the girl, after agents shoved her to the ground. He was filming ice. And yes, he was exercising his 2nd amendment and had a valid permit to carry.
Consider how absurd this is.
I'll say it again: between half and all of the conflict between citizens and ICE in MN is occurring because the state will not hand over alien CRIMINALS - including numerous pedophiles: this is not simply a thing I am saying - for deportation, federal carceral penalties, etc.
Instead, many are simply let go - back into the streets! - after short jail or state terms. How can anyone defend this, in policy terms?
